Hi Richard

issues for the cover price + postage. Give them a call (or "ring them"
as you say). I am 8 timezones away and it would be a violation of
international copyright for me to send you a copy as much as I would
like to. OTOH, if they cannot supply a copy of the issue, I can scan
it for you.

Many thanks.
I was being a bit too hasty - they actually emailed me back this
afternoon - and can supply me with a back copy of the mag - so I'll go
that route......
Thanks for pointing me the right way - I'd not have known that the
project existed otherwise....
I've got an incentive to get this working - as otherwise I expect I'll
be called upon to play the organ _every_ weekend... <g>
Take care

What I've done is use multiple CD players, and put CDs I obtained or burned
in each one, and cued them up and left them in pause before the service. I
put a stick-on post-it on each one, noting what is inside. I then press the
appropriate play button at the appropriate time.
CD players are dirt cheap. 2 get the job done for me.
If you run out of inputs on your console, a line mixer makes a nice extender
for the inputs on your console. Good examples of such devices include the
Rane SM 26 http://www.rane.com/sm26b.html or Behringer Ultralink

It'd all be a great deal simpler if there was always somebody there at
the Church who could act as 'sound engineer'.
Short of volunteering my services full-time <g> - there ain't no such
animal.
So - it needs a _simple_ system that can be operated by the person -
running the service - hence the idea of a 'service -on-a-CD', and a
big 'next' button that plays the next track & then stops......
We've been 'spoilt' over the last ten years or so by having 'live'
organists - but we're none of us getting any younger......
Thanks

Ah, the prerequisite dedicated volunteer.

I'm trying to train a stable full of back-ups and replacements.

I suppose that a PC could be programmed with one of the jillion music
players that are downloadble...

Indeed having a church service where all the music comes from traditional
sources tends to drive off the younger prospects. |

Yes - but that's going up the 'complication scale' rather than down it
- and there's no room on the rostrum for a pc (physically or maybe
ideologically....) - needs to be a really simple solution..... (do I
keep saying that ?)

One of the first projects I did when learning to use Visual C++ was to
write some software that did exactly that. You had to create a simple
text file containing the files to be played in the correct order and
then the software would play the next file on the list whenever the big
play button was clicked. It would work for any type of file that had a
compatible player so it could be extendeded to MIDI and video files as
well as audio.
Cheers.
James. |

So - solution - make a CD - so that when she's not there, she can be
there (if you see what I mean). Plan to record the three of four hymns
& other bits of music as separate tracks - and whoever's chairing the
service can then stop / start the CD player at the right points.
Taking this one step further - it'd be nice if the CD player could be
set up to play tracks in a specific sequence, and would automagically
g> play a track then stop, cued and ready to play the next track in
the playlist......
Does such a piece of kit exist ? Or would it be possible to implement
this system by going fully 'solid-state' - maybe with an MP3
player....

Denon DN-C615 will do just that. You can set it up so that when you turn
it on, it is already in the "play one track, then pause at the beginning
of the next track" mode.
That setting is stored in non-volatile memory, so it stays set that way
through power cycles.
And it can cue to the beginning of the audio, not to the beginning of the
track. If your track has 1 or 2 seconds of silence at the beginning,
it'll skip right over that, so the music starts the instant you hit the
play button. |
