I have just joined your group- I have a CZ230s,CZ101 and cz1000 all supplied by ebay users - I habitually do not make vocal music - but have a couple of tracks featuring vocals.

My gear amanda consists of the following: Drums, synthesizers, amps, and an old samsung 15 channel mixer.  I am working on buying a good firewire computer recording unit.  Plus then i can work on my indie projects.  I sing as well.  does anyone here write vocal songs?
peace

Thanks, Robbie! I get kind remarks about my studio when I'm looking. 
I get massacred for my gear collection when people think I'm not 
looking. Gotta love the internet.

>Amanda, I'm assuming you're running OS9 on your G3.

Nope, never assume! I run OS 8.6 on my serial port computers. I do 
have 9.2.2 in one Pismo powerbook that has a faster processor. My 
main studio G3 with Galaxy and networked Studio 4 interfaces actually 
has System 8.5 with elements of 8.6 I've substututed in one at a time 
to be sure everything keeps working.

The reason for this is that the fonts in Galaxy went weird in my 
other computers after 8.5, even with the same font set installed in 
all. The other Opcode stuff as you know works fine through 9. So I 
have made sure not to update beyond the OS that the apps are all 
comfortable with. In general I feel that people taking the OS beyond 
what the hardware was designed for, is the main reason people have 
trouble with their computers.

>Have you ever had issues installing Galaxy
>on your machine?

I responded to your question on the Opcode list asking exactly what 
your error message was and exactly when it occurs, but you didn't 
answer.

I've never installed Galaxy above 8.6, so your OS version might be 
your problem. My music machines have nearly all possible software 
components stripped out that don't run the system or the music apps.

Folks, sorry for the off-topic interlude. Hopefully it's interesting 
to see a different context in which people are using CZ synths.
