| You never get all your cords back at the end of a gig.

| When making a hardware upgrade to your favorite synth, follow the
directions to the letter. Make sure you've done EVERYTHING just as the
directions read.
Then cough up big bucks to fix it, since they're wrong.
Explanation, for those who care:
I bought a MIDI mod for my OB-Xa from Numera in France thru JLCooper.
Followed the directions to the letter. Powered up the Xa and - voila!
Nothing. Checked, rechecked, and re-rechecked my steps. I did nothing
wrong.
Took it to the shop - gave them the kit and the directions. They tried
with the same results. Then they noticed that the MAJOR CONNECTOR FROM
THE MIDI BOARD WAS WIRED *BACKWARDS* - BY THE FACTORY.
When I turned the Xa on after installing the mod, I fried the power
supply and 2 diodes. Result: $SET BANK_ACCOUNT/SUBTRACT=$125.00

| The chances of X occuring are directly proportional to Y.
X = an infinite note on Y = the softness of the passage
X = a roadie dropping your Y = the importance of the gig
primary keyboard
X = sudden, violent, Y = the nearness of a monitor to
unexpected feedback your ear
Your turn.

| The natural tendency of spilt beer is to flow directly to your
most important disc. All other factors being equal, the one that
is not backed up takes precedence.
Erasure prevention tabs don't.
Write protect isn't.

| If the band is hot, and the crowd is hot and it's your turn to
wail.....you'll drop your pick or break a string.

| Analog synth corillary to .5
If the band is hot and the crowd is hot and it's your turn to wail,
your synth will be out of tune from the heat of the light show!

| 322.7 | strange quote | STAR::MALIK | Karl Malik | Thu Apr 24 1986 15:02 | 7 |

From a book on electronic music by Alan Strange (back in the
good old analog days) -
"The availability of a particular patch-cord is inversely
proportional to its need."

| The importance of the one item that was fogotten back in the basement
(disc, kybd, cable, etc.) is directly proportional to the distance
back to the basement.
