Anyone have it? Yes, "total music" is great. It -IS- as the ads say it is. My opinion is heavily biased though. Think of "total music" as an enhanced version of Fairlight's "Page R". You can mail your specific questions about "total music" to (datacube!bills). > I can't afford 10 mirages. Any other ways around this? >Sync-to-tape? Gee, I love my Akai 612S sampler. If you are into midi-hacking, you can do a lot with it. Re sync-to-tape: See my posting a few weeks back about SMPTE code on a 4-track.
