Mp3 files would be a very useful mechanism for providing patch lib demos.

well yes but the idea is to have the original patch sound to see its params on the synth and tweak it, and that cannot be provided with mp3s ;)

I'm missing 2 things in the soundlabz database:

1. the Roland JV and XP synths (e.g. JV-1080 or XP-50)
2. alternative patch submission formats (photo of the synth set to the patch or textual description of a patch). How would one submit a patch for a Minimoog or a Roland SH-101?

Thanks for this great web site.

Added !


yess DS already asked me about this (quite normal, the Analog guy thinks Analog :p) , i've added a type called "Photo", so you can upload photos of the vintage synth params! Try it and let me know if it is okay ;)

Cheers fella, I'll get some MW XT patches on there in due course

i cant say ill be of much use as i cant program to save my life, but i registered so i can mooch off all you guys. :D

hey everyone,

i'm still alive, too much work is taking almost all of my time! a little sunny "hello" from tunisia to all of u!

i'm working on a newer version of soundlabz by the way, i'll put it online soon ;) better navigation, better design, possibility to add mp3z ...

glad to see many of you upgraded to the TI, hope u enjoying it (i still have my C btw, but it is eating dust ...)

c u soon my friends, bye ;)

Hey Hatembr! Long time no see mate.

I have a couple of friends here in Japan from Tunisia, and they told me about the summer work schedule over there - those are work hours I could handle!

hey hollowcell!

A long long time yeah! I am very busy at work :s
I also have a friend who moved to japan few months ago, his name is Khalil Ellouz, may be he's one of them :p

As far as that special summer schedule go, I am not sure but I think it has been imported with the french colonization at the beginning of the century, since they were not used to work in hot conditions. It is something special to tunisia, I don't know any hot countries that have the same system, but more and more companies are leaving that and having "normal" work schedule, since the air conditioner is now everywhere.
To say the truth they are cool work hours, since you have the time to have a little siesta, time to go to the beach, time to play music ... but if you have european customers, you and they will suffer.
That's why, with globalization, a lot of local companies are abandoning this work system, just like offshore companies who never followed it btw.

;)

Great! Thanks!!!
