Hi, people!

The Faculty of Art and Design at Coventry Polytechnic, England, has
just bought itself a DX7-II synthesiser, so that its AudioVisual
courses can have some Audio content at last...

What we'd like to know is:

	i)  Does anyone out there know of any useful knowledge
	about this beast?  We've just had it dumped on us with
	the message ``Go on, do something creative with it'';
	are there any good books on using it?

	ii) Is there any software that people have that they
	could either give us (not too expensive, we just blew
	the budget on the synth :-)) or tell us about?  We
	have the usual sort of machines (Olivetti M24 PC
	lookalikes, a Mac, and some Atari STs), but I'd much
	prefer to use the ST.
	We'd like things like patch editors and archivers,
	but anything that anyone thinks might be interesting,
	could they please mail me with brief info?

	iii) Somebody (I can't remember who, and it was a while
	ago) mentioned a Lisp system specifically for music
	research.  I think it was called ``MusiLisp'', or something
	fairly close to that.  Does anyone have any info about
	this?  As a radical Lispian, I'd like to do any software
	development in a Lisp-like system.

	iv) (Synth folks) Has anyone out there ever heard of a
	monophonic, analogue synth called the Crumar Spirit?
	I'm the proud (poor) owner of one of these fine instruments (beasts)
	and I wonder if I'm the only one (sucker)...  OK, you can
	stop snickering now and go play with your SynClaviers :-(

							Kay.

PS:  Please mail me as ...ukc!warwick!covpoly!kay (my work address,
rather than ...ukc!warwick!kay, where I'm only a guest).
