Hi folx:
Following the recent threads on both lists concerning getting into music
on the cheap, I requested and received some information from a company
called MorningStar Solutions, a "multimedia products" company.
The product in question is called the MacWaveMaker, the "performance
standard for Macinotsh inboard midi synthesis." It's a NuBus card that
uses the Mass (tm) wave-table sythesis engine and Kurzweil's
SuperOrchestral patches from the Mark 10/150 digital piano.
It's compatible with OMS, Apple's Midi Manager, FreeMidi, and QuickTime
2.0, has 357 melodic sounds, 15 drum kits w/ 400 percussion sounds, true
32-voice polyphony with 32 simultaneous timbres, dual 18-bit D/A
converters, RCA stereo in/outs, etc., etc. I don't know what half of this
stuff means.
So I'm asking the music.community on the list - if I wanted to start with
something, would this be a good place to start? The cost ("for a limited
time") is $499.
Thanks for any and all info. If you don't want to propagate this thread on
the list(s), send me private e-mail and I'll summarize.
Thanks,
Dave
