Connections And Setup
Clbvioiisly I had to do my hardware and software installations hcfore beginiting. The EDSllltltl only works in a PCI slot on the coiiiptitcr.
I gladly took otit a networking card that I no
ltiiiger needed and installed the EDS- tfltltl iiitti
that slot. I also installed a second I-lIJS- ltlftil [Kt
and made the proper connections between the
EDS's with three ribbon cables iiccerding to the
manual. The EDS-lflfttl and EDS-ltttltl}{ are
identical cards. The only difference between an
EDS- lflllfl and an FiDS- IIIIIIIK is that the H yersion ceiiies with the additional cables needed to
connect two or more cards together. ‘t"ou iiiigltt
ask. “Why' would you want two EDS-IIIIIII

aiix's instead of S and .12 litre tracks instead of

I started with a sting that I had already sequenced and arranged. I tried syncing a Macllei
to Paris and I didn"t like what was happening. I
noticed these little hiccups in my sequences. I
then simply "stayed" the Mac to incoming MIDI
iind net l'v’ITtf'. still had the hicctips. It was ntit a
Paris problem. It was it coiiihinittion of severiil
things like an old. archaic "version of Logic that
docs not like to slave to anything and not
enough RAM on the Mitt". So. I figured. either
buy it newer version of Logic itnd more Rah-I
for the Mac or think of some-thing. ‘Wliat I ended
tip with was this. I added one bar to the beginning of the set|iiettce. I added it click to just the
first blank measure. I rectirtlcd each track into
Paris with a metronome type click at the beginning of each track. After that was completed. I
opened the Editor window in Paris. I chose the
niagiiify tool and xoeinetl in to look closely at
tlte trticks. I then tiscd hludge and Slip in Paris

and lined up the clicks. tt was all good!
If I noticed seine sort of noise on a track or
didn't like what was played, I would rc-cut the
track again until I got it rightl

Mixing
l'~ltiw I was ready to start blending the volumes
of the tracks. I got them pretty close to what I
thought sounded good. lfl noticed some track
that was giying me some volume trouble, Icempressed it. As iin example. my kick drtim was
kind of soft. then on occasional hits. it would
peak out and be really loud. I compressed it at a
4:1 ratio lif it peaks, it will allow that part of the
sound that peaked to he ldB lotider for every
4dB increase in yoiuniel.

used ait effect plug-in for that simply because of

needed. I could have gotten it as narrow as I
wanted it to be in Paris without having to use a
pliig-in.

grotips, that may vci'y well he what yeti have to
do. I was lucky. Wliat I decided tti do was to
take atlvitiitiigc of the stib grouping on the
mixer. I connected each sub group output of the
mixer to its owti input on the .-'kl:iiT S input
module that was in the l"vlE.'[.'. With these connections. I was ahle to connect all of my
keyboards to my mixer iind contintie tti work as
I tvantcd and I could also send certain inputs of
the mixer to iiiptits and tracks I wanted to in
Paris without doing reconiiectioiis. This was
also it cool setup because I got the chance to use
my mixer as a phantom power sttpply. mic
pi'eaiup. and a means of gain or gain reduction
on the inputs going into Paris.

I also wanted no high end to conic otit on that
track. I could have used either a Shelf El} or a
Low Pass Filter. Shelf EQ means simply what it
says. when you boost or cut a frequency, it
boosts or etits other frequencies along with it in
the shape of a steli or shelf. I used a pliig-in to
get a Low Pass filter, but it all could have been
done in the Paris EQ. Tlicre are some squiggly
Iiiics in the I-ill" section called Filter lvlode, duh!
The Lew Pass filter means exactly what it
sciuiids like. it is a filter that only lets low frequeneics pass. The High Pass filter is the direct
opposite of the low pass in that it only lets high

machine! It is cverythittg the l'tt|R Rack watttctl to be and
maybe cottld have become. I mean. even ts-itbout a plug
in there are ll banks of I'll.-l sounds to start out with. and
the quality is beyond cttccllcnt, especially the guitars
which are the finest I have ever heard. The auditiott
mode is vastly superior to the tvta as it has tttany ntorc
anti longer riffs. liven witlt the 32 MB I donit know how
they achieved the qua ity of the samples includittg sontc
killer keyboards. t‘t.lso, this batty has two sets of MIDI.
capable of 31 channels and has llltl voices. .‘iupposedly
one of the plug-ins will give it sample reading ability.
All in all a ntagnificent piece of arcltitccture and proof
that tltcrc is life after Iinsoniq.

Well. lterc we are. We are at tbe day that I think most of
us felt would never come. My two short years of writing
for the Httttter ltave been, to say the least, a real roller
coaster ride. The lows have included such items as the
bickering {as I call it. Iilaminglt itt the Interface letters
and the bellows of hatred toward linsoniq. For tne. the
ltiglts include the actual idea of being published. and
beittg able to really help someone that really needs help.
It was great for rtte becattse I got tt chance to put information into a clear, step by step process that anyone
could understand. Those articles actually ltelped me
leartt product and share some tips that I have developed
on my own. as well, put across some ideas that I
gathered frotn others to help a mass of peoplel think that a lot of people could sil and complain tjor

can happen- I cart‘: claim to have any answers for thatbut l cart say that tlte I.l'.t.tr'tl.'et' was really there ft_tt' tl"|oso

The best Iinsoniq gear is truly brilliant. the synths. the
samplers. the great effects. The interface. the sound. the
integration. the build qttality all suggest a design team
with tremendous sensitivity to the needs of seriotts composers and performing musicians. with instrutnents that
were capable of great artistic range. Though linsonit;

Beyond what the cotrtpany did for and against itself. linsoniq was also the victim of sonte really irrespottsible
reviews by petulant critics. Flipping through some old
issues of tCe_rhoettvt t‘-*fttgtt.'.t'tre will reveal a few esantples
of some nasty. nteatt spirited writing directed against linsoniq cotttpany products. for reasons which arc clearly
not authentic. and appear to be somehow personal.
blow. the company seems to be drifting. with indifferent.
distracted attd distant ownership. Home of the products
intrigue: Fiamo. the Elsi. the t't.Sli.-K pro and the Paris
range front interesting. or conlroversittl. to great.
The point of all this is that the ttrtetr-1-r. during l£nsonit|'s
strongest period. really facilitated the use. the understanding of the instruments. I really used. really needed.
the ttttelier. I wouldn't have corttinuetl with linsoniq

Hello lane tit Ilric.
‘r'our willingness to publish my sometimes irreverent
language [though short of vitriol. l hopel inspired and
encouraged me to more writing ventures.

Wlten I went to the Transonitt site and saw ‘-h'tItlJEl*l'l‘
