With the discussion posts above about various tunings, I'm pretty sure all the high-end workstations provide numerous intonation tunings without the need of a new MIDI spec. All my Kurzweils going way back including my latest, have 16 different intonation maps to select from. Now perhaps all those maps are using an internal MIDI file to achieve this, I don't know how it's done. But the drawbacks that we've all complained about since almost MIDI 1.0's beginning was the latency the occurs when you daisy chain more than 3 keyboards (or other MIDI devices). The new MIDI 2.0 spec should be vastly better and welcome. And the part in the spec about syncing, too, will be great.

I was keeping abreast of the industry at that time, but did not get into it for real until 1985 when I got my first equipment which consisted of: Yamaha CP-80M (Midi enabled full size electric grand piano, with a graphic EQ instead of tone nob) Oberheim Matrix-12 with MIDI Yamaha QX-7 sequencer Just about that time, I started getting involved with PCs and DOS and was learning about Cakewalk and the MPU-401 thing, and my memory lapses, but can anybody tell us the year Cakewalk began and when it moved to Windows 3.1?

Yeah, I'll be pissed when that day comes. To maintain a free CbB I would be forced to invest big money into new machine, new sound card, new learning curve, and I absolutely refuse to do it. That would motivate me to hang it all up. Well, I can still use X3 Producer.

I sure hope not. That would force upgrades that users will eventually find destroy their rig due to not going to Windows 10.

Will there be a User Manual (PDF) when your release this to showcase all the features and where/how to locate and use them?

Gee those are some big guitars.

Exactly. Or whatever new "rule" would be necessary to the purists out there, to designate the lower set of lines as the "bass". The point being that using the same notes for the respective staff lines, would make reading the two stalves far easier.

You should see the Hot Wheels track layout I had at one time. 😜

For you piano players in the crowd, did you ever think they made a mistake using the G-clef and Bass-clef for the stalves with the single ledger line between the two stalves? So let me explain what just always seem to be the logical way sheet music SHOULD have been printed. G-clef on the top and another, but lower, G-clef below, with 2 ledger lines between the stalves. THEN, reading the sheet music would have identical stalves for the treble and bass and trying to figure out two different stalves would have been eliminated. It would make reading music a breeze since both would be the same, and separated by 2 octaves. It would have looked like this: F________________ D________________ B________________ G________________ E________________ ___C___ ___A___ F________________ D________________ B________________ G________________ E________________ Have you any idea how much easier this would be for both kids and adults when learning to read sheet music? The Bass Clef in the lower hand (as it always has been) is not at all intuitive. If they had just added one additional ledger line (the A-note below middle C) between the treble and bass stalves, you'd have what I just printed and it would be EASY to read and learn to sight-read. In fact, all existing published music could be redone and published on the new system making life easier. Why not start now? 😀

Your words, and that of any others you find to support your suicide, can reside with yourself. I do not use Google, Chrome, Facebook, or any other social media sites. I use my phone for talking, and the dictionary app I have on it. I don't let miserable Google know anything. And I'm not about to let Microsoft know any more. And why buy a spyware OS to begin with, when what I have is bullet proof and runs perfect? Please. No need to give a response. Really.

And every aspect of Windows 10, sacrifices your privacy. Spying is in every single facet of the software and attempting to "cut it off", you might as well never buy into it. From Alexa the assistant to the browsing habits to the automatic updates evaluating what you "need" and don't need, and I've read other sites that give a better list than I can from memory.

I just bought Thorn for $25 yesterday from there because of some Christmas voucher they sent immediately upon registering. I already had Thorn from when it was first released by Dmitry, but the upgrade to the latest version which fixed a CbB issue, was worth it.

You do know, don't you, that you can simply double-click the particular synth in the synth rack that you are currently using in a project? That brings it back to life from its "minimized" status. Your post appears to not be aware of this, but perhaps I'm overlooking something you're inquiring about.

May the peace of Christ find you all! Joy to the world in His Name.

I make a motion that the songs must be liked and good, and it would help, if not obvious, to clarify the word association. When a song is submitted, if it is liked by the poster then it helps us to know that it might be a song worth listening to. And if it isn't, it helps us to know something about the poster. lol I don't understand how Amorphous Androgynous - Mountain Goat can link to St. James' Club - Tropic of Capricorn, nor the next one about Laurel & Hardy. How does it connect?

Where can I get a mug like that? Ahhh I found it on Amazon. That's realllllly coool.

I finished season 4, and am now on season 5. It's most difficult to not fall in love with Diana Rigg. And I thoroughly enjoy McNee as Steed. A most fantastic show.

My favorite from this guy

ELO - Summer and Lightning Chorus: Here it comes again (summer and lightning) It's all around me (summer and lightning) It must be magic (summer and lightning) Yeah, yeah, yeah.

7 moons, eh? I'm looking at their website now. Apparently they don't get distribution out to the midwest, neither stores nor restaurants. 7 varieties of grapes, sounds intriguing. How expensive is a bottle?

Yeah, I know not to defrag SSDs, but I was unsure if you (or that company) were saying that in the case of the registry, it is allowed. So, are you saying a person can defrag their registry on an SSD?

Those tiny cups! Yeah, I don't get it at all. And if you ever go to a Dim Sum (one style of chinese restaurant) they serve hot tea in small cups, too. I've often (I'm sure there are thousands of people who) wondered how to invent a coffee mug for restaurants, that would allow the patron's coffee to remain hot at their table. Lids, cup warmers, etc. Most places don't put the pot of coffee on the table, i.e. IHOP, whose coffee is pretty horrible. After my second or third cup of coffee at a restaurant, I start to slow down and the coffee starts to cool in the cup. Yuck. I make a habit of asking for an empty plastic soda cup to pour my cold coffee into. Adding hot coffee to warm/cool coffee is awful. And if they pour coffee that is warm, I ask them to make a new pot. I tip well as a regular where I go, so they generally don't mind me. I hope. I like my coffee very hot. Normal hot is not good enough. Which is why I add boiling water when making the Americano.

Defrag the registry. Now that's something that I had never thought of, and more than likely does apply to my situation. Would that be beneficial even on an SSD? 'Gonna have to take a look at that utility you linked.

'Bought our Espresso machine and grinder from that store and dropped close to a grand with all the accessory tools and some beans 5 years ago. For those who don't know, there's no comparison between an Americano and drip coffee. We have a Mr. Coffee too (ahh, Black & Decker now), and when lazy it gets used. I make the wife an Americano every morning she goes to work and it takes about 20 minutes. She found a great Italian roast bean (Allegro) that is really first rate. She picks up a bag at Whole Foods. The recipe: Americano - fill a 16 oz. mug (or thermos) with 7 oz. of espresso and then add 9 oz. of boiling water. An Americano is a diluted espresso, but it is way better than drip coffee. We both like cream, and sometimes I like to add butterscotch schnapps, and also sometimes add some Grand Marnier, too. (Grand Marnier - made from a blend of Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange, and sugar). I don't make the frothed milk for lattes that often, but that can be good, too. Yum. This is causing me to go turn all the equipment on now. lol

Title says it all. I really can hardly believe it. It took about 40 minutes and I was worried that something irregular was going on. And I was watching my Drives meter on my C-drive and the Used space was shrinking while the Free space was increasing at the same rate. I actually was worried that some irregularity had gotten triggered and was deleting files. Well, it finally finished and I have 12GB more storage. Wow. The Outlook .pst file is only 1½ GB in size when I export it for saving as I have done often times over the years. So I really am baffled by how that much space was retrieved from Outlook 2007 compacting the .pst file.
