I am looking for a NG for Music Keyboards. Anyone recommend a good
one? I looked at a form for General Music and it appears as though
no one is home. <g>

Thanks Roger, I'll give it a try.

Nothing showing up under that heading. Maybe SBC/AT&T did away with
binaries or maybe it's Thunderbird. I never tried a binary group
before. ??

Do you see any alt.binaries?

Rumor is binaries are gone, and all usenet from AT&T will be gone..
July 15th, IIRC.

Thanks again Roger, I finally got there and it is all Midi files, no
discussions.

Given the inertia in MIDI/music text groups, may I ask what you
need to know/discuss? I may be able to provide /some/ kind of
reply/advice.

For now I'll just say that there are MANY places on the *web*
where musicians and even just occasional users of a keyboard or
a guitar meet and exchange ideas.

Text Usenet is dying, and binary Usenet will be killed, sooner
or later.

I have read all there is to read, and now I am looking for someone
with hands on experience with a General Music Gem WK 1000 Arranger
Keyboard.

Well, I've heard of the company and it is a good one, but I am
NF with this product. Did you contact the manufacturer with your
problem or is it too unique for them to be able to help you?

I assume you DID read /every/ word of the manual and have
sufficient experience with MIDI (which has not been without its
share of occasional problems).

I would Google for "General Music keyboards forum" and see what
turns up.

Or "MIDI discussion forum". You can always start a new thread -
there ARE other users of that keyboard out there.

As a last resort you could visit a few local keyboard shops and
find someone who knows everything AND likes to talk.

Good luck.

I have been in contact with the Mfg. Rep. in the US. as the unit is
built in Italy. The General Music / Gem keyboards are top of the
line, however this particular model is near the low end of the
totem-pole and I was wanting to correspond with someone that might
own one. I am familiar with the top-end line of Gem keyboards, just
not this particular model. Anyway I have purchased The Gem WK 1000
off ebay and I am sure I will be pleased with it.
Thank You for the impute, and have a grand day.
