Dear Yosri:

Regarding the page Aztecs, the name "Tlacalel" is a misspelling for "Tlacaelel". Please take this into account for your Bahasa Melayu page.

I will be glad to help you further on this or other things related to Mexico.

Greetings.

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Thankyou so much Yosri for your brilliant translation effort!

I am very grateful.

May you prosper!

Halal Article
I recently saw your addition to the Halal article. I believe using the "urine argument" in the article is inappropriate for various reasons:
 * A. I cannot find any verifable and reputable source which mentions your argument (aka no citation). This leads me to believe that perhaps it is an argument you have created on your own (WP Policy: No Original Research).
 * B. The parallel to urine is implicitly stating that the urine is haram, which again needs a citation if the assertion is true
 * C. And if it the assertion is true that urine is haram, it is assuming prior reader knowledge of that.

For these reasons, I find your 'urine argument" addition to the halal article inappropriate and am reverting your changes. If you would like to reinsert the statement, please first find a source which mentions that urine is haram, and also find a source which mentions the argument itself. No hard feelings.Starwarp2k2 22:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You bring up a valid argument. I urge you to find a source for this statement you wrote on my talk page, it brings up a very salient point- "What is not seen is not totally gone" and then include that and it's source in the Halal article in a NPOV fashion. Thanks for not taking my revert personally.Starwarp2k2 16:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * "What is not seen is not totally gone" is common logic and fairly obvious. But in wikipedia, you cannot use assume the reader follows your/any logic. Following that train of thought, you have to quote a source that uses/explains this logic and say "look! that is what this theory says" etc...

 * And about your comment regarding the type of halal which doesn't require the ritual slaughtering but just requires recitation prior to consumption, there are definately people who follow that. I have sourced that statement on the Halal page.Starwarp2k2 17:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I understand what you are saying my friend, but your opinion (nor my opinion) regardless of how valid or invalid, cannot be passed on to a wikipedia article. Each definition of halal which a significant constituency adheres to must be present in the wikipedia article. It cannot be removed just because me or you or another website doen't agree with it, because someone else does agree.Starwarp2k2 15:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I hate to repeat myself but you leave me with no option. Wikipedia's job is not to figure out which viewpoint is right, but rather to list ALL the significant ones and neutrally write what they have to say about each other.Starwarp2k2 05:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I understand your skepticism fully. I myself am very skeptical on which sources I use. The site which I included no longer works, so I included another different citation. It is not a state-sponsored website, but it is still credible. It is a website which echoes the distinction between "zabiha" and "halal, essentially the argument which we are referring to. Read commentary for 179. Not only does this website say what I wrote on the article, I also personally know many people who follow that definition of halal.Starwarp2k2 03:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The source was removed from the article. I am talking with the person who removed it. [].Starwarp2k2 16:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * We're going in circles. Just because you don't beleive it doesn't mean alot of other people don't beleive it. And if they do, it needs to be mentioned in wikipedia.Starwarp2k2 19:23, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * We should definately talk about Islamic law and what Islam says is "halal", but there are differing opinions on Islamic law and what Islam deems as halal.Starwarp2k2 16:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What you consider to be Islamic Law is not necessarily the same as what everyone else considers to be Islamic Law. If a significant group beleive a certain thing (as they do), than it must be mentioned in the article.Starwarp2k2 19:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I do not know of the specifics regarding what the four madhabs of Sunni Islam say, but please stop generalizing. All Muslims don't strictly follow any one of the four madhabs, and have their own beleifs. And there is a significant number of people, especially in non-Muslim-majority countries, who follow the various types of halals that are currently in the article and that warrants their mention in the article. I am not referring to a radical view, I am referring to a view that is accepted by a large quantity of people. What is large? I don't know...and the chances of being able to assign/find a number to "large" are very slim.Starwarp2k2 01:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not generalizing by saying that "Muslims beleive this". I wrote "Some" beleive this. I used that terminology because people from all divisions of Islam can hold this opinion. The opinion is not restricted to any single school of thought, thus the word "some".Starwarp2k2 16:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Great!Starwarp2k2 13:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Peace be upon him (Islam)
Yosri, I noticed you did some work on the Peace be upon him article a long time back. I was hoping you could look into the article now. People are saying some strange things that no one uses sallallahu alayhi wa salaam for the Prophet anymore but instead use subhanahu wa ta'ala. Moreover, they are saying that mentioning the Prophet also entails sending salaah upon his family. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. ZaydHammoudeh 18:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

About Danish boycott, on your userpage
Out of curiosity, why are you boycotting Danish products and, by extension, Denmark, though your condemnation extends only to a particular newspaper that happens to be Danish? Specifically, what do other businesses in Denmark (some of which have opposed that publication, and some of which have no idea about that publication) have to do with that article published by one newspaper? IgorSF 10:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

As mentioned above, this is merely personal curiosity. Having heard the "boycott Danish" rhetorics from many different sources, I'm intrigued by the reasoning behind it. However, if you object to this post, and want it removed, I'll do that upon your request, or feel free to remove it yourself if you wish.IgorSF 10:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * There was never any apology for the above said incident and the incident was precalculated to insure Muslim wrath (They want to know how much reaction it will attract. - ‘‘its carry death penalty”). Danish government only apologies that some people felt hurt by it. This is not full apology, indicating they (the government) approve it. To purchase is, therefore to compromised one’s own faith. Yosri 06:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply. I understand this reasoning, but still feel somewhat puzzled by it. I would understand it much better if it was the case that Danish government had any influence on the newspaper in question. While I haven't studied either that incident or Danish political system in any detail, I assume that - as in most Western democracies - in Denmark, the government has little or no influence on that newspaper. So even if they wanted to shut it down for the publication, or otherwise punish it, they simply can't. Moreover, they - the government - may not feel like they owe any apology because they - the government - didn't do anything. The newspaper did, and the newspaper may be seen by some as owing an apology to Muslims - a view that, although controversial, is much easier to understand. But the government, lacking control or influence on the newspaper, and having done nothing to cause the publication, nor having the power to do anything to undo its effects, may genuinely be seen as having no cause for an apology. IgorSF 09:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Moreover, as I understand, your boycott extends to all businesses operating in the country, which includes a great number of companies with widely different views. Some of them have no doubt supported the publications, while other were neutral (and some, no doubt, didn't even know or care), and still others share your disgust for the publication. Moreover, certainly in a country as big as Denmark, there are businesses owned by Muslims, whose feelings about the publication, in all likelihood, are as strong as, or even stronger than, yours. But those businesses are also affected by the boycott. IgorSF 09:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Because the issue is so controversial, and the potential for misunderstanding is likewise very high, I'd like to reaffirm what was stated above - these messages are arising from personal curiosity, and carry no bad will. Nor is this curiosity limited to the reactions of Muslims and Islam, either; a very similar event (a particular entity has made a particular decision, and many people, in great anger, decided to boycott not only that entity, but all businesses in the same geographical area) occurred several years ago in the USA. IgorSF 09:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I see. I guess that explains the reaction toward the government of Denmark, but I still don't see the basis for such reaction against the private companies in Denmark, although one can make the argument that the citizens of a country elect its government, and as such, are responsible for its decisions. In any case, thanks for the reply. IgorSF 11:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, it's me! Wow, it seems that you're still angry towards those cartoons, so you still don't change to something else... right? --Edmund the King of the Woods! 16:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It is not the question of emotional. I don't change my principal just to please others. They have their principal, I keep mine. Yosri 06:27, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't mean changing your principal, but editing your own userpage here. I see your userpage here is all about the cartoon controversy. Btw I saw an InterWiki link on top of your userpage here, linking to an image you've uploaded in the Malay Wikipedia. Do you mean to put that link in the lower left side of the interface? If you want the link to appear within the content of the page, it should be ms:Imej:YosriBolaTakraw.jpg Wonder whether you really know how to make InterWiki links... :-P --Edmund the King of the Woods! 10:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Please consider
In some detail the policy issues at WP:NOT

Your edit at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikayat_Iskandar_Zulkarnain

Is a classic example. WP Mainspsace is not a library list, directory or library catalogue or bibliography location.

Please in WP:AGF - either re-write it in convention with WP:MOS. In time if there has been no change it will be reverted - probably by others less likely to even discuss the matter.

Thank you SatuSuro 07:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Not to sure what you are saying - but please note this in an online encyclopedia and regardless - WP:MOS requires articles to be laid out a certain way - your addition of material the way you did is not correct format and needed to be changed.

Please help improve wikipedia by (a) understanding what WP:NOT means (b) keeping to the guidelines of WP:MOS thank you SatuSuro 23:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough - if you understand me at all - we need to keep the format in line with other articles - it was an eccentric addition of information - it needed cleaning up - cheers SatuSuro 05:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Reverting other editors
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors  according to your reverts at Soy sauce. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 11:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

 * This issue is being discussed at Talk:Soy_sauce; please join the conversation there, and try to assume good faith of why other editors are reverting your changes to the lede. We are not a cabal paid by a soy sauce company to censor health issues. --McGeddon (talk) 11:30, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

re:MS Awazisan Maru
Hello Yosri. I'm afraid you've misunderstood the prefixes. Firstly, MS doesn't stand for Malaysian Ship, it stands for Motor Ship. So it doesn't denote nationality at all.

I found you as the author of Bujang Valley. Maybe you could help me in identifying an orphaned photo. The description is in Tamil language which I cannot read. Somebody put it into the category "Khmer ruins in Thailand" which I find very unlikely.

Proposed deletion of File:Album Ella Rama2 Malaysia.jpg

The file File:Album Ella Rama2 Malaysia.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
 * Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Ella (Malaysian singer). Non-free cover art is generally considered acceptable as the primary means of identification in a stand-alone article about the work in question, but a much stronger justification is required in other articles as explained in WP:NFC. Since this particular album cover is not being used in the main infobox as its non-free use rationale claims and is not itself the subject of any sourced commentary with in the article, the context required by WP:NFCC is lacking.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:53, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Permohonan pembukaan sekat
Salam, Yosri.

Mohon maaf meminta bantuan Anda melalui en.wikipedia dan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia. Beberapa waktu lalu, saya tidak sengaja membuat halaman baru bertema desa di Provinsi Aceh di ms.wikipedia yang seharusnya tidak ditujukan untuk ditulis di ms.wikipedia. Oleh karena itu, saya segera menandainya dengan tag hapus agar penyelia dapat menghapusnya. Namun, saya malah disekat selama 3 bulan di ms.wikipedia dengan alasan memberikan maklumat palsu. Sebagai pertimbangan Anda, saya pada saat itu tidak berencana untuk membuat/memberikan maklumat palsu di Wikipedia Melayu, itu semata-mata hanya kesilapan saya saja karena keliru. Mohon bantuan Anda mempertimbangkan untuk membuka sekat atas akun saya. Terima kasih sekali. ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 15:31, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the blocking of my account on the Malaysian Wikipedia.
Assalamualaikum, and a very good morning I bid to you, sir or madam.

I would like to wonder, regarding as to why you have blocked my account on the Bahasa Melayu Wikipedia. According to the Wikipedia article regarding the list of policies, under the Deletion subheading, rule 2, also known as the Criteria for speedy deletion subsubheading states that:

 * Articles, images, categories etc. may be "speedily deleted" if they clearly fall within certain categories, which generally boil down to pages lacking content, or disruptive pages. Anything potentially controversial should go through the deletion process instead.

As you have seen from my editing history, the multiple articles that I have posted the "speedy deletion" request onto are articles which heavily lack content, and are therefore eligible and fall under rule 2.

Continuing with the Wikipedia article regarding the deletion policy, under the Reasons for deletion subheading, it states that:

 * Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion

And as I have stated earlier, all of the articles above fall under the criteria for speedy deletion. Another thing that I would like to point out is the redundancy of most of the articles that I have posted the "speedy deletion" request onto. Most of them are easily able to be merged into bigger articles.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Yamaha DX7

The Yamaha DX7 is a synthesizer manufactured by Yamaha Corporation from 1983 to 1989. It was the first successful digital synthesizer and is one of the best-selling synthesizers in history, selling more than 200,000 units.

In the early 1980s, the synthesizer market was dominated by analog synthesizers. FM synthesis, a means of generating sounds via frequency modulation, was developed by John Chowning at Stanford University, California. FM synthesis created brighter, glassier sounds, and could better imitate acoustic sounds such as brass and bells. Yamaha licensed the technology to create the DX7, combining it with very-large-scale integration chips to lower manufacturing costs.

With its complex menus and lack of conventional controls, few learned to program the DX7 in depth. However, its preset sounds became staples of 1980s pop music; in 1986, it was used in 40% of the number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its electric piano sound was particularly widely used, especially in power ballads. The English producer Brian Eno was proficient at programming his own sounds, and it was instrumental to his work in ambient music. Chips based on the DX7 sound chip, such as the YM2612, were used in technologies such as the Sega Genesis game console.

The DX7 was succeeded by FM synthesizers including the DX1, DX21, DX27 and DX100. In later years, the DX7 sounds came to be seen as dated or clichéd and its use declined.

Development
By the mid-20th century, frequency modulation (FM), a means of carrying sound, had been understood for decades and was widely used to broadcast radio transmissions. In the 1960s, at Stanford University, California, John Chowning developed FM synthesis, a means of using FM to generate sounds different from analog synthesis. In 1971, to demonstrate its commercial potential, Chowning used FM to emulate acoustic sounds such as organs and brass. Stanford patented the technology and hoped to license it, but was turned down by American companies including Hammond and Wurlitzer. Chowning felt their engineers did not understand FM.

At the time, the Japanese company Yamaha was the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments but had little market share in the United States. One of their chief engineers visited Stanford to view the technology. According to Chowning, "In ten minutes he understood ... I guess Yamaha had already been working in the digital domain, so he knew exactly what I was saying." Yamaha licensed the technology for one year to determine its commercial viability, and in 1973 its organ division began developing a prototype FM monophonic synthesizer. In 1975, Yamaha negotiated exclusive rights for the technology.

Ikutaro Kakehashi, the founder of the Japanese company Roland, was also interested, but met Chowning six months after Yamaha had agreed to the deal. Kakehashi later said Yamaha were the natural partners in the venture, as they had the resources to make FM synthesis commercially viable. Yamaha created the first hardware implementation of FM synthesis. The first commercial FM synthesizer was the Yamaha GS1, released in 1980, which was expensive to manufacture due to its integrated circuit chips. At the same time, Yamaha was developing the means to manufacture very-large-scale integration chips. These allowed the DX7 to use only two chips, compared to the GS1's 50. Yamaha also altered the implementation of the FM algorithms in the DX7 for efficiency and speed, producing a sampling rate higher than Stanford's synthesizers. Chowning felt this produced a noticeable "brilliant" sound.

Yamaha displayed a prototype of the DX7 in 1982, branded the CSDX in reference to the Yamaha CS range of analog synthesizers. In late 1982, Dave Bristow and Gary Leuenberger, experts on the Yamaha CS-80, flew to Japan to develop the DX7's voices. They had less than four days to create the DX7's 128 preset patches.

Features
Compared to the "warm" and "fuzzy" sounds of analog synthesizers, the digital DX7 sounds "harsh", "glassy" and "chilly", with a richer, brighter sound. Its presets constitute "struck" and "plucked" sounds with complex transients. Its keyboard spans five octaves, and the keyboard expression allows for velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. The DX7 has 16-note polyphony, meaning 16 notes can sound simultaneously. It has 32 sound-generating algorithms, each a different arrangement of its six sine wave operators. The DX7 was the first synthesizer with a liquid-crystal display, and the first to allow users to name patches.

Sales
The DX7 was the first commercially successful digital synthesizer  and remains one of the bestselling synthesizers in history. According to Bristow, Yamaha had hoped to sell more than 20,000 units. Within a year, orders exceeded 150,000 units, and Yamaha had sold 200,000 units after three years.

The DX7 was the first synthesizer to sell more than 100,000 units. Yamaha manufactured units on a scale American competitors could not match; by comparison, Moog sold 12,000 Minimoog synthesizers in 11 years, and could not meet demand. The FM patent was for years one of Stanford's highest earning. Chowning received royalties for all of Yamaha's FM synthesizers.

According to Dave Smith, the founder of the synthesizer company Sequential, "The synthesizer market was tiny in the late 70s. No one was selling 50,000 of these things. It wasn't until the Yamaha DX7 came out that a company shipped 100,000-plus synths." Smith said the DX7 sold well as it was reasonably priced, had keyboard expression and 16 voices, and was better at emulating acoustic sounds than competing products. Chowning credited the success to the combination of his FM patent with Yamaha's chip technology.

Impact
At the time of release, the DX7 was the first digital synthesizer most musicians had used. It was very different from the analog synthesizers that had dominated the market. According to MusicRadar, its "spiky" and "crystalline" sounds made it "the perfect antidote to a decade of analog waveforms". It was praised for its accuracy in reproducing tubular bells, metallophones and the harpsichord, and took over the electric piano market.

With complex submenus displayed on an LCD and no knobs and sliders to adjust the sound, many found the DX7 difficult to program. MusicRadar described its interface as "nearly impenetrable", with "operators, algorithms and unusual envelopes ... accessed through tedious menus and a diminutive display". Rather than create their own sounds, most users used the presets.

The presets were widely used in 1980s pop music. The "BASS 1" preset was used on songs such as "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, and "Fresh" by Kool & the Gang. The "E PIANO 1" preset became particularly famous, especially for power ballads, and was used by artists including Whitney Houston, Chicago, Phil Collins, Luther Vandross, Billy Ocean and Celine Dion. In 1986, it was used in 40% of the number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100, 40% of country number ones, and 60% of RnB number ones. The preset imitates a Rhodes piano, prompting some to abandon the Rhodes in favor of the DX7.

A few musicians skilled at programming the DX7 found employment creating sounds for other acts. The English musician Brian Eno learned to program the DX7 in depth and used it to create ambient music on his 1983 album Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. He shared instructions for recreating his patches in a 1987 issue of Keyboard. Eno used the DX7 on records he produced by U2 and Coldplay. In later years, the DX sounds came to be seen as dated or clichéd, and interest in FM synthesis declined, with second-hand digital synthesizers selling for less than analog. The development of software synthesizers such as Native Instruments FM8 led to a resurgence in the popularity of FM synthesis.

Successors
According to Sound on Sound, throughout the mid-1980s, "Yamaha flooded the market with a plethora of low-cost FM synths." In 1987, Yamaha released the DX7II, which did not match the success of the DX7. Further successors included the TX81Z, DX1, DX11, and DX21. Yamaha manufactured reduced versions of the DX7 sound chip, such as the YM2612, for use in technologies such as the Sega Genesis game console. In 2015, Yamaha released a smaller FM synthesizer, the Reface DX.

ReBirth RB-338

ReBirth RB-338 is a software synthesizer for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS 8-9 and iOS for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It was developed by Propellerhead Software, and its first alpha version (for Mac OS) was publicly released in October 1996. Propellerhead Software ceased developing the original program in January 1999. Support for desktop versions was officially discontinued in September 2005. Shortly afterward, the ReBirth Museum Web site was launched and the last desktop version's (2.0.1) disk image was made available as a free download and torrent. Propellerhead Software continues to develop other software relating to dance-oriented computer-based music composition, including Reason, its flagship software synthesizer, as well as portable "app" versions of ReBirth.

Features
ReBirth emulates two Roland TB-303 synthesizers and a Roland TR-808 since v1.0, and also a Roland TR-909 drum machine since v2.0. All emulations can be used simultaneously. Each of the emulated devices has its own pattern selector, a feature the original devices are lacking. This allows fast switches between different musical sequences, and re-programming the TB-303 for playing different notes, for instance, is rendered unnecessary. This feature has been adopted in some of Reason's devices. ReBirth also features mixers, a pattern controlled filter (PCF) and some of the standard effects in software synthesizers like delay, compressor and distortion.

The program also supports user modifications, which may replace the samples in the drum machine emulations and modify the GUI. There are four modifications included in the ReBirth installation by default (though the default ReBirth GUI seems to count as a modification as well).

The virtual knobs and controls can be assigned to physical counterparts via MIDI, so knobs, modulation wheels, faders and other performance controls available on keyboards and modules can be used to shape the software sound.

Critical reception
ReBirth was an early software synthesizer, pioneering this class of instruments along with Cubase, Cakewalk, Digital Performer, and Reality in 1997, with a low-CPU-utilization, leading the PC software market, with the low specs of then cutting-edge computers. The sound quality during live playback (as opposed to saving the generated sound to disk), assuming that the CPU could cope with the sampling rate, was imposed by the quality of the sound card.

Some enthusiasts have criticized ReBirth's software emulation of the TB-303 as being an inferior copy of the genuine sound. Such criticism is common to many software synths that emulate analog synthesis (which the TB-303 featured), due to the reputedly inimitable sound of analog synthesis, and quality degraded by low-end sound cards. Despite this, Roland contacted Propellerhead Software to give it an unofficial thumbs up, which Propellerhead considered to be the Roland seal of approval.

Free download
As of September 2005, support for ReBirth was discontinued by Propellerhead software, and the software became available online as a free download.

iPhone and iPad
In April 2010, ReBirth was re-released as a paid app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. In November 2010 a visually revamped and modernized version was made available on the iPad.

Propellerhead disabled ReBirth For iOS on 1 June 2013. The app was officially removed from the App Store on 15 June 2017, following an official claim from Roland of intellectual property infringement.

Aalto University School of Business

The Aalto University School of Business (Aalto-yliopiston kauppakorkeakoulu; Aalto-universitets handelshögskola), is the largest business school in Finland. Founded in 1911, it is the second oldest business school in Finland and one of the oldest business schools in the Nordic countries. The school became part of Aalto University on 1 January 2010. It has been previously known as the Helsinki School of Economics, the Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration, and during 2010–2012 the Aalto University School of Economics.

The Aalto University School of Business is the first business school in the Nordic countries to have received the Triple Crown accreditation (accreditations from the three largest and most influential business school accreditation organizations: AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS).

In terms of admissions, the school is considered the most difficult business school in Finland. In 2019, the school had the highest amount of applicants for any higher education program in Finland. It also had the lowest acceptance rate of any business school in the country.

History
The Aalto University School of Business was established in Helsinki in 1904 by the business community and was given the status of a university in 1911. It operated as a private university until 1974 when the state of Finland was given the financial responsibility of the university. Nevertheless, the school has remained autonomous in its administration and internal affairs. Since its founding, 23,000 students have graduated. In 1950, the School of Business moved from Fabianinkatu to Runeberginkatu in Töölö. The school became a part of Aalto University on 1 January 2010 and fully transitioned to its Otaniemi campus in 2019.

Rankings and accreditations
The Aalto University School of Business has been accredited by all three major international organizations that certify business schools (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS), a "triple-crown" accreditation possessed by only 55 other universities in the world. The school is also a member of the CEMS (Global Alliance in Management Education) and PIM (Partnership in International Management).

Since 2005, the Financial Times has ranked the CEMS program among the top masters in management programs in the world. The Aalto University School of Business is an active member of this joint program. The Financial Times ranked the Aalto University School of Business 29th in the European business school rankings in 2013, 78th in Global MBA programs, and 43rd in Master in Management programs.

Degrees and programmes
The school offers university degrees in economics and business administration at the bachelor's, master's, licentiate, and doctoral levels, along with MBA programmes targeted to business professionals hosted through Aalto University Executive Education.

The school has a two-step program structure, accordingly to the Bologna Treaty, with a three-year bachelor's degree followed by a two-year master's degree. New students start by studying towards a BSc degree in economics and business administration and on completion, are eligible to continue to study for the master's degree. A doctoral degree normally takes four additional years.

Bachelor's programmes
Since 2013, the school offers the following bachelor's programmes (3-year programme, 180 ECTS credits):
 * Economics and business administration (in Otaniemi, Espoo, in Finnish)
 * Economics (in Otaniemi, in English)
 * International business (in Mikkeli, in English).

In economics and business administration, students may choose one of the following as their major: Accounting, business law, economics, finance, information service and management, management, marketing

Master's programmes

Summer programmes
Since 1995, the school has offered a multidisciplinary summer programme called the Information Technology Program (3-month programme, 24 ECTS credits). The school also offers a multidisciplinary Business Master Class summer course (2-week course, 6 ECTS credits).

MBA programs
MBA and executive MBA programs are offered by the Aalto University Executive Education AEE with operations in Helsinki, China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Sweden and Iran. There is a tuition fee in the MBA program, unlike in the BSc/MSc degree programs. The MBA program is taught through two-week modules by visiting faculty from some of the best business schools in the world, including Emory University, Rutgers Business School, University of South Carolina, Georgetown University, University of California, Concordia University, Queen's University at Kingston, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Indiana University, ESADE and INSEAD.

Admissions
Each year, around 400 students are admitted into the bachelor's programmes and around 200 students to the master's programmes. Bachelor's admissions are based mainly on an admissions test (in Finnish) and the nationwide matriculation examination. Non-Finnish speakers and international students have the opportunity to gain admission through the SAT (Scholastic Admissions Test) conducted in English. Applicants with an appropriate bachelor's degree may apply for the master's admission to taking only the degree of Master of Science in economics and business administration.

Surface-wave-sustained discharge

A surface-wave-sustained discharge is a plasma that is excited by propagation of electromagnetic surface waves. Surface wave plasma sources can be divided into two groups depending upon whether the plasma generates part of its own waveguide by ionisation or not. The former is called a self-guided plasma. The surface wave mode allows the generation of uniform high-frequency-excited plasmas in volumes whose lateral dimensions extend over several wavelengths of the electromagnetic wave, e.g. for microwaves of 2.45 GHz in vacuum the wavelength amounts to 12.2 cm.

Theory
For a long time, microwave plasma sources without a magnetic field were not considered suitable for the generation of high density plasmas. Electromagnetic waves cannot propagate in over-dense plasmas. The wave is reflected at the plasma surface due to the skin effect and becomes an evanescent wave. Its penetration depth corresponds to the skin depth $$\delta$$, which can be approximated by

 * $$\delta \simeq

c\,\big/\sqrt{\omega_{p_e}^2 - \omega^2}. $$

The non-vanishing penetration depth of an evanescent wave opens an alternative way of heating a plasma: Instead of traversing the plasma, the conductivity of the plasma enables the wave to propagate along the plasma surface. The wave energy is then transferred to the plasma by an evanescent wave which enters the plasma perpendicular to its surface and decays exponentially with the skin depth. Transfer mechanism allows to generate over-dense plasmas with electron densities beyond the critical density.

Design
Surface-wave-sustained plasmas (SWP) can be operated in a large variety of recipient geometries. The pressure range accessible for surface-wave-excited plasmas depends on the process gas and the diameter of the recipient. The larger the chamber diameter, the lower the minimal pressure necessary for the SWP mode. Analogously, the maximal pressure where a stable SWP can be operated decreases with increasing diameter.

The numerical modelling of SWPs is quite involved. The plasma is created by the electromagnetic wave, but it also reflects and guides this same wave. Therefore, a truly self-consistent description is necessary.
