Welcome back. After two weeks of epic NAMM show coverage inSync is now back with its regularly scheduled programming. If you want to get caught up with a thorough synopsis of the entire show, including photographs, stop by our 2002 NAMM Report web page in the publications section of our site.
Zoom just dropped off two great new programmable guitar effects pedals at our door. The 606 (guitar) and the 607 (bass) each pack 35 different effects (9 simultaneously), 42 patch locations, and a whole mess of other amazing features like modeling and amp simulation. The list of capabilities is pretty lengthy, and the price is nice, too – $174.99 retail.
A Special Announcement from the President of Sweetwater:
I am pleased to announce SetMaker 1.1 for Windows and Mac OS X.
The response we received from the original launch of SetMaker for OS 9 was beyond what we had expected. SetMaker has been wildly successful on that platform. In addition, I heard from so many people who expressed interest in a version of SetMaker for the PC and a version for OS X that I just couldn’t say no. I thought it was especially important to offer SetMaker for the PC because I know there are leagues of musicians out there who rely on that platform and we are committed to supporting them as well as we have supported Mac users.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with SetMaker, here’s the whole story: I struggled for a long time trying to find a way to quickly and easily make set lists that I could take to my gigs. I experimented with different database programs and spreadsheets, but nothing really seemed to get the job done quite the way I needed it. So finally I approached a couple friends and we worked together to design a custom program that met my specific needs. I’ve found SetMaker to be a great help to me personally and I hope other musicians find it to be useful as well.
SetMaker is the ideal computer application for rapid creation and management of Set Lists. Featuring an intuitive graphic user interface, SetMaker allows users to store song titles, styles, tempos, lengths, and more. It is also the FASTEST way to create and print out Set Lists for any occasion. Whether you’re a gigging musician, a worship leader, a DJ, or a music director, SetMaker can help you organize your songs and assist you in picking the best songs for your performance. Enjoy!
