If you go here http://emusician.com/sod/ you'll find a great video tutorial from Korg's senior sound designer Jack Hotop on basic synth programming. The problem is, it sputtered and froze for me, several times. On deeper reading, the start page said its not configured to work on Macs. Yikes! EM's editor Steve Oppenheimer responded to my frustrated query personally and in a timely manner. After juggling his suggestions and trying both Firefox and Safari, still no dice. Apparently, its just a mysterious computer THANG such as we all encounter at times. He said that there was some work pending with the company that built the video app, so it may snap to by year's end. It worked for HIM within OS X 10.4 and Firefox and Safari, so I'm personally stumped, but hey, it may work for me by Xmas (Dear Satan Clause...) and that'd be fine. Despite its refusal to play past the mid-point for me, it will surely work within Windows and most Mac rigs. More to the point, Steve did his bit to unclog the problem, which is much appreciated. He also removed the erroneous Mac tag. EM has always been a good publication and when the editor himself will step in over such a small matter, it speaks well of the whole operation. I just felt that it deserved a public kudo. Its a good magazine to read and a smart site to add to your bookmarks. -- HellPope Huey Immoral Support, Reptilian Glaze, Wavetable Phantasmagoria "The spirit of a man can put up with his malady; but as for a stricken spirit, who can bear it?" ~ Proverbs 18:14 "Earth first!
