| I'm interested in patches for a roland JX-3P, especially anything
that sounds like a real piano. Also I have a TR-707 that I would be
looking for stuff for.

| I have TR-707 and TR-909 (unfortunately the data formats are not comaptible)
sequences for a lot of oldies and some more recent stuff. I'll put together
a list. Are you more interested in a listing (I had 500 copies of a
program sheet made for paper storage) or a cassette data dump?

| Len,
Will Chroma programs work on the Polaris?

| re: 118.3
There is a Chroma interface on the Polaris, but I don't recall if it's
just to gang them together or if it cn be usd to exchange data. The
Polaris manual is 120 pages and the thing has a zillion features, so I
didn't pay much attention to the Chroma interface documentation, as I
never expected to have access to a Chroma. I will look into this further.

| RE:#2
The program sheet would be fine with me for the 707. At this time I am still
learning how to get the thig to play drums like drummers do. I had no idea
how little I knew about the art of drumming.

| Re; -1
Have you checked out the last few issues of 'Keyboard'?
Billy Cobham (or is it Tony Williams? Ugh, what a memory)
has a column on programming drum machines.

| As a drummer, I can say (with tongue firmly in cheek) that drummers
aren't musicians, and drums aren't instruments :-). You wouldn't
(well maybe you would) believe the number of people who have heard me
talk about programming my drum machine and mention "four bar phrase"
or something equally trivial, to which they respond "gee, I thought
drummers just flailed away..." What's even more fun is to sit them
down behind the kit and ask them to keep simple time (i.e., 1-2-3-4 on
the bass/kick, 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and on the hi hat, and .-2-.-4 on the
snare). This is probably a subject for a different, but why is we drummers
(dropped "note" after "different")
don't get no respect?
(dropped "it" after "is" - obviously we get no respect because we can't
type.
Anyway, I've started cleaning up my drum sheets so I can share them with
anybody interested. I have about 60 songs that will be available shortly.

| Drummers get alot of respect from me. Especially since I found out what
they do -:). Seriously I didn't realise what was involved until I tried
to program my machine. But lately I've also been working with a drummer
that was educated at Berkley, what a difference from the guys who "just
flail away".
RE:-2 or so thanks Karl I'll hunt down the Keyboard magazine. Guess I should
get a subscription.

| Yeah - I'm a rock drummer and I have endless respect for the nuances of
jazz drumming. It's a completely different idiom, and I have no trouble
admitting it's beyond my current skill level. I don't love the music
enough to work hard enough to master it, but I wish jazz drummers would
afford rock drummers a little respect. I heard jazz drummers try to play
rock and it just doesn't work; they can't seem to keep things simple
enough, and their time just doesn't feel right. This is not an attack -
just a plea for live and let live. This note is getting way off the
original subject (which seems to have petered out). Should we kick
off a new note and jazz vs. rock drumming, or on drumming in general?
