It's blocked for me at work.

Oh well, seemed like a good idea.

.... I was wondering what Fran had been up to ...
I too will have to wait until I get home ...
t.

hahahahha...ok, signed up as zuki7. Should be fun.

I'm there too. Might be a good diversion for the mornings or afternoon. Good seeing Fran as we chatted - neat concept.

This does not replace SZ.

Hey guys and gals..
I wanted to start a video/chat site for a couple reasons...It is neat to see who we are chatting with..This site will also allow us to talk ..as in a room or individually with anyone in the General Arranger room..It will also allow us to play our arrangers sending audio to the room, up to 30 second clips..
We can also IM each other and also private chat with full video and audio..

For those that like to type ...it is always available..


It will probably take some time before others[all] decide to sign on...
I am also working on a host contact that will not be limited for us...

I will absorb the costs...it will always be free to all of you..


I would also like to affirm, that this chat/video site will not and never intended to replace Nigel's SZ..I just thought it would be great to expose everyone to the new possibilities my[our] site will offer..

Any questions can be referred to the administrator "king"...DNJ

Look forward to "seeing" everyone...

Cass,you forgot the XD5

Yeah, Fran, but I haven't gotten it yet - just paid for it. Maybe by Friday, it's coming from Webster, NY. I was thinking of just using the letters YRK, 'cuz now I have at least one of each.

you mean RKY

I can tell your new forum will be COMPLETELY unbiased!!
DonM

Don it really will............

Its really cool to be able to just chat or share live music playing &/or also see everyone at the same time...
or one on one in a private chat anywhere in the world. WOW!

Donny/Fran: Very Cool. Is there going to be scheduled times for sessions?

Fran, couldn't your video chat forum possibly pose a threat to some of your SZ friends currently in the Witness Protection Program? Just a thought.

chas

Robert we can all set our own schedules..Once we have enough people signed up , it will flow ok

Chas, they wear disguise.

Come on everybody ..get on board...If we have the members here signed up, there will always be activity,,

Robert, Chas, Squeak, Don, Hank, Gary, Scott, Nigel, Rikki, Glenn, Tom, Dave and everyone..

You are not leaving SZ...Just another place to visit...

I think this is a great thing Fran. Although I don't have a cam on this PC I am writing this from am I still allowed to sign up ????

What are the requirements?

Participants must haveUniversity degree in music?
Participants must possess (at least one) Roland keyboard?
Participants must be Yamaha haters?

(joking)

I'd like to ask what internet speed I need to participate in the video fora. Currently I get 64KB/s (512 Kbits/s) international internet speed. Is this enough or I have to switch to more expensive plan?

Regards,
George

I just had a nice chat with Taike..We need you guys and gals to come on board..that way there will always be someone in the room to chat/video/audio....

Come on in Nigel, it will give you a break for a while..

George , your set up will work fine..

A camera is not necessary, but helpful. Without the camera your beautiful face will not be seen by the chatters. Otherwise the forum is a live type-chat. I guess you/we could use mics and have a live voice-chat, but these are posswibilities. I encourage everyone to check out this new, real time, interactive forum.

Again, let me say that this is not a replacement for or competition to SZ. There is only one SZ!

AMEN

Fran & Donny....Congratulations on your new venture....however, you say it's free but when prompted to download, it clearly states that it is free to TRY, $49.95 to BUY
is this the same site that you mentioned????
if not, please direct us to the correct one.
Thanks...
TR

No Tony it is free..The Pro version gives you more options ,like multiple screens and many other features..
The standard will work fine.

Squeak is on board...I just chatted with Squeak a few minutes....Now we are getting some folks signed on....Lets sign on and get the room filled by next week..OK?

BTW...we can use SZ and the chat/video room at the same time..as well the same with Skype..

Nice to Talk to Tony Rome, Squeak, & Zuki on CAMFROG GeneralArranger Chat today!!



[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 09-19-2006).]

I just got off a voice chat with Fran. this is turning into a real cool experience - word, video and audio. We can even read SZ while we chat. You've got to get onto this!

I have joined as well

So far only spoken with Taike, Cassp and someone else i couldnt remember the name LOL

anyays, hope to see others on there soon.

Nick

Can't do it from here--top baud rate this week is 24,000. When it rains we're down to 9,600 at times. DSL doesn't even exist out here in the sticks, and the guys with the cable company said it will be sometime next year before we get decent cable hoopup speeds high enough for video.

Guess I'm stuck with the world's slowest dialup!

Gary

------------------
Travlin' Easy

Gary I already used it with dial up..it works ok.

Nick G what is your camfrog nickname?

my camfrog nickname is Nick G

Nick can you spell it exactly as you registered.. For examples..NickG
Nick_G

sorry Fran,

actually i think it could be NickG (no space)

Nick i tried that and it didn't come up.

Can you sign in for a minute and I will save you to my contact list.

Go to the generalarranger room.

We just had a chat session with Taike, NickG, Squeak,Zuki, Donny,Bobsynth and me..It is catching on..We need you other people to join in..The more participating the better the site will be...after a little growing pains[learning the ins and outs].

Fran: I joined as RobertG323. Now what.

Robert go to DNJ's post and click on the direct link he posted ..It will take you to the GeneralArranger room. Sign in on Camfrog first.. I will try and search you and send you a invite link in case you have a problem.

Nice to chat to Taike today on Camfrog from Taiwan & Trident from Greece!!

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 09-26-2006).]

Uh, that's Taiwan, Donny.

I guess that Video thing isn't working out too well Taike....LOL

[This message has been edited by kbrkr (edited 09-20-2006).]

heheheheh sorry I was close

@ kbrkr... I even dislike having my picture taken. Half of the time I don't recognize myself! And now cam...I might end up getting mad at the other guy for not replying....only to find out later that I was talking to myself!!

Close enough, Donny. But we don't speak Greek in Taiwan! We'll leave that to Trident.

ok now I have it all right.....
Trident = Greece.....Taike = Taiwan

OPAAAA !!!!

Gday people!

the new general arranger chat is awesome! we need more recruits! Join Join Join!!

Its completely friendly and tension free (if you know what I mean)

Nick

You mean there are lots of duels Tyros2 vs. Roland 70 haters.

Sounds tempting. Who is the referee?

George V

the referee is our beloved Fran Carango

He qualifies because he is both Tyros2 and G70 hater. That's what I call 'impartial referee'.

G

Donny

Trident is Greek,
Taike is Taiwanese.

This camfrog thing is a good concept, as long as you have a microphone.... which I dont have right now,
And at least a half-decent connection, not dial up.

I believe in the months to come I will have both of the above so i can participate, for now I will settle for listening only, and occasionally writing down the answer.

Trying to come off with a quick written answer to both Squeak's and Donny's simultaneously spoken questions was a real challenge.

It was good talking to you. Looking forward to hear you again soon.
Trident

..... well you were still on the same PLANET !!!
t.

This is pretty neat, I just had a long video chat with Domenik and Squeak,,

People you have to get into the flow!!!!

I forgot to mention, I had a communication with Bob Hughes [Solton Club boss}.He likes the new GA video/chat, and suggested to set a particular time that members from the Solton club could do a video/chat..

That would be great..we need folks to sign up..

But don't forget, I opened this for all arranger players. You guys and gals can get together on your own ...pick a time when you guys want and let everyone know..I am not dictating or putting limitations on any group of individuals..Have fun!!!!!!!

Most of us are using Skype or MSN, so a 3rd one starts to get complicated.

Not at all..Try it you'll like it..There is room for all you mentioned..This just takes things to another level..

Simultaneous multiple ( up to 100 ) video screens so you can see everyone talking around the world....also various TOPIC discussion rooms, & so much more.....wheres Don M, Scott Yee, Craig?

I met some great guys on camfrog: Fran, Squeak, NickG, Zuki, Donny, Cassp and Domenik. All are very friendly and helpful chaps.

Nick, thanks again for those 30 second concerts. Zuki and I appreciate the effort. Of course, now you'll have to keep satisfying our needs or else...

Fran kept me up all night.

------------------
Khoi huk ngam sud tee huk kon diow.

We welcomed Trevor_John this morning..

Nigel should be joining us over the weekend.

Looking forward to other SZ members to join in..

I would like to see Rikki,Frank, Aj, Don and all you people to help get the new forum active..See you there..if not we will see you here.

No time for me right now, but I'll be along later.
DonM

I've added a link to the Camfrog General Arranger room at the bottom of the forum pages so everyone can find it easily.

I just was chatting with Fran, Trevorjohn and Squeak though I was just typing until I get a camera and mic sorted out. But it was still great to do.

Nigel Thanks for signing in, and I appreciate the link you added..Talk to you soon[I hope]..

You can bet I'll be back Fran. I got my mic sorted out. It was due to there being 2 different mic inputs on this new PC I've got. I just needed to switch mic input to the front input instead of the back.

Thats Great News!!!
Nigel welcome aboard !! it will be nice to chat with you soon also.

Bumped....in case someone needed DNJ's instructions..

Great to finally put a live camfrog face on Squeak & chat after all this time here on SZ

Fran/Donny: I am new to chat room type stuff and have purposely avoided them. Great tool but seems to be the place of the great unknown on the web. When I logged onto FrogCam. I was immediately approached in the main room by a guy named "Frantheman". Somehow he knew how to "follow" me to the General arranger forum and again tried to talk to me. I did so with audio but choose not to show video. I asked if he was on synthzone and he said "it was having problems earlier today". I said "Oh, thanks, bye".

Is this guy legit or a stalker?

"Frantheman" is "Fran" so there was no need to be scared off. And yes Synth Zone was having a problem earlier today. It seems OK now at least.

Nigel: Thanks for the info.

All: I just had a nice talk with Fran. He really isn't a stalker.

Frogcam is pretty cool. It is a great way to connect.

I think that one of the great advantages of the video-chat is that it minimises the risk of being misunderstood when one is trying to be humourous Emoticons are all very well but they are no substitute for real facial expressions.
I am relieved to hear that there was a problem with the zone yesterday. I had downloaded Camfrog Pro. earlier and when I got back from my gig could not get in either here or Camfrog. Knowing the weird things that can happen sometimes after downloading programmes I was very happy this morning to find everything back to normal.

Trevor

Robert glad you got it all right on the Camfrog General Aranger Chat room......."Frantheman" has done a great job & his efforts are so appreciated.
I actually love to chat & exchange ideas with people there as well.... I'll have the PRO version this week also which gives you so much more versatility & options.....there's many new sign ups now also.
see y'all there!

Has anyone heard from Scott Yee?
We are waiting for everyone to sign up..See you in the room ........

Here is the invitation to the Solton Club, I posted yesterday..
http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/014156.html

All members are invited to join the new GeneralArranger video/chat room.
Bob has given his approval, and also suggested a proposed time slot that his club members can log in..You all are welcomed to come aboard..I posted the link from Synthzone that DNJ tells "How to sign up"..Also Nigel has placed a direct link to the room, after you sign on..

Any questions , Contact me, DNJ, or Bob Hughes..

See you over at the GeneralArranger room..Fran Carango

Hi everyone..... we are trying to get to the point that we can share music in real time we want to take advantages of things we can't do anywhere else..Multiple cams, live audio, private chats, and file sharing and an abundance of "other" rooms if you can't play anyway....Its a nice personalized General Arranger forum to get to know each other.....We want to get the Media Station interest here too, Domenik will be happy to work with them as a group he often drops in to chat share, audio clips, questions etc.....Fran Carango is doing a great job with this forum .......check it out its free to all.

Donny, when I tried to get on a couple days ago, I was told to sign up to Camfrog Pro. I couldn't get into the forum. Supposedly a module of some sort was missing. Do I need to reregister or am I doing something wrong? I'd like to get back to the arranger forum but it seems I've lost my membership connection.
Cass

Cass there was an update to #.80 available[free]..You don't have to buy Pro..

K Fingers , sorry I missed you..IM me first and I will join you in the room.

Hi, Fran and others.
All setup now with user name cajun100.
Looking forward (I think) to connecting ...

cajun thats great see you there also..... keep checking in.

I chatted with Keith [Kfingers] today, nice to have you guys aboard.

When are the guys that previously signed on coming in the room..

Also talked with Cass today too.

Hey SZoners, I re opened the room in case you guys and gals want to have video chats with each other..I will try to check in once in a while , but you folks can work it out between you...when you want to chat..

Hey Fran....did you sign up with the new site, Home Arranger World??

Ian the Curious

------------------
Common misconception...size and weight equal quality and performance. Don't be fooled.

Ian, I tried last week..Al never emailed me ...so I guess my application wasn't excepted..

I believe everyone had trouble at first...and I think Al has corrected the problem...I think it's "open" registration until the month's end so no e-mail confirmation is required.

Hope you get on...I noticed you were among the missing.

Ian

Just pokin' fun...
No disrespect,
Just thought it ironic.

Not really because if I remember correctly Nigel was made aware of it before it was posted, permission is respect.

hey guys ..hook up with your pals..you are welcome to use the room, with, or without myself being present...Have fun..

You can play your boards or just chat..share music..send files , or private chat among yourselves...All in the GeneralArranger room...Free

Well it's 2 AM now, but I am downloading Camfrog as I type and I will sure set it up tomorrow - hopefully I'll catch some of you online since there is the timezone-issue
