A number of years when the MIDI revolution had started, I started to build a multiplexing system fro my RX11 drum machine. Basically a midid mixer patch bay for my not yet built drum pads. I am wondering if there are any plans or schems out there for a midi patch bay with memory. I am also looking for schematics of drum pads to be interfaced to a Drum Machine such as the Yamaha RX11 or via PC to drum programs.

By Guy Eckstine Upcoming and past projects by Peter Gabriel, David Byrne and Paul Simon all reflect strong world-music inclinations. Does world music need pop artists to survive? It seems so at first glance, but upon further examination, non-western and non- English-speaking artists are selling records like mad, adding weight to the notion that world music is finally crossing over. As we see artists like Caetano Veloso, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Femi Kuti (let's not bring Ricky Martin into this) break the language barrier, we know that the times are a-changin'.
