Ya' Guys Are Killin' Me,
Yes I just survived another night of playing graveyard @ the Aladdin in Las Vegas, where the dead come to gamble. It was definately ghost town. Nothin' but tweakers came by. If anyone wants to see the country's largest collection of tweakers ( meth -heads ), just stop by a Wal-Mart @ 0300 in the morning it's a riot. Everyone scampering around in a big hurry talkin' outloud to themselves trying to return to their Soviet cubicles w/o being seen, as contact w/ daylight would melt them like the wicked witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. They always live in the smallest little dumps that are closet to the big W. Then there are the little old ladies that you should feel sorry for, as they are so old and lonely lookin', but they are actually the most miserable, meanest group of sea hags, and buzzards you could imagine.
I have an old friend who is a security gaurd who stops in to visit me. He always brings me the wooden drink tokes from the dumps downtown, They come in handy when the homeless guys stop in off the street to heckel the band, you just give 'em 4 or 5 of those, and they are gone like the wind.
Usually there's always a good gunfight or something to keep you awake, notta. In the old days they would settle their differences outside in a drawing contest, now they just drop 'em on their way out of the building.
Well tomorrow we will better, as everyone from CA starts drifting in, and we have Thursday night Kareoke w/ Elvis on our breaks. That's a real treat. He looks more like Shemp from the 3 Stooges.
In spite of the tortures i must endure to make a dollar. the weekends are what makes it worthwhile, as all of the fine trim, and other Elvis's, Madonna's,Sammy Davis's, and Dean Martin's are out in force.
I am gonna have some nice pics next week if I can sneak my camera in w/o getting in trouble, last week when the flash went off security arrived seconds later to warn me. I sware if I didn't need the money I'd be so gone from these facades.
Carry On My Wayward Sons,

this is one of the "half-screen" version: It is the same as the "FB5 rotary" (the FB5 with rotary, and all inserts=2/3 of the 1152*864 screen) but this one with 6 mono/8 stereo (it's called FB8). As you may notice, it is not finsihed yet.
The presets for the "valve-n-filter" and for the inserts "racks" are of course compatible between them (exchange between channels, or aux racks between them) and with the FB5 bigger racks and external racks (cross-dev compatibility). It is not yet finished though , which is getting on my nerves because this is the one i'll use, and there's another slimmer version, and new satellites have to be made and also a redux of former filters that are good on synth but not optimal with the new format used here (it is still SpaceF Sat/EchoSat and RD compatible though, it is just that a few things can be improved here). plus a whole new BCR2000 layout (as the FB mixers have the same Midi integration as the MixSat C2, ie the big majority of what is seen on screen is not only assignable to any CC message, but also stricly recalled on project loading, allowing parameter feedback, hardware integration etc etc).
And no, it is not half-arsed, it is just half screen
(with half the inserts o, mono channels ok, i admit, and a less precise vu than on the FB5 -but still more precise andmuch less ressource consuming than the stock vus, and with the same readability of the various "limits" you might want to know about (-12/-6/-3/-1/-0.1 db...).).
The PR40 is not half arsed neither (btw do you write half arsed or half assed: you get the "picture" though )
I wrote to Ted Fletcher at Tfpro http://www.tfpro.info/home/index.html and he is willing to help me & repair my TB47 pristine microphone: in the same time, i wonder why i do this, because the Heil PR40 plugged in my Ted Fletcher designed MQ3 does sound right (on my voice at least): it gets some of the grain of the TB47 with the right settings - and even better, i can have clean voice recordings eventhough the computer is just next to me (and it's noisy as hell).

There are 2 layers of midi CCs (scope allows 119 midi CC to be assigned: 2x119 CC numbers are available on 2 midi channels on the FAT mixers). 1 layer is for surface elements, and another set of midi CC is for the insert slots only. If you use the same midi channel on both layers, then the same CC number can be assigned twice (once for the surface, and another in an insert) and they will be linked. If you use 2 different midi channels, it is like having 2 devices in one in terms of CC mapping.
The "FP8 - Final Mixer" does not have the "fat valve" preloaded, but it has all the filters and modulators, and takes 2 full dsps+2 empty ones (that are reserved for insert slots : each of the channel section and the aux-n-mix load on their own single dsp and will not move from them. One version grabs a third OR a 4th dsp that is reserved for the insert slots (for ex, a master verb pro will load preferably on the less used dsp between dsp 3 and 4, same with other inserts). What it means is that whereas the internal elements are dsp fixed and compactly loaded on 2 dsps, the inserts are also loaded by preference on 2 dsp that are also fixed, and if needed on the next available dsp and so on in a clean and organized way (you can follow this on the dsp meter for exemple).
to be released not soon as some external devices have to be built .
