Mo, Rick, I don't think you work hard enough, you just play with computers all day! 8) Yes, Rick, move the pile, one grain at a time, with a steam shovel. Barry P.S. That first word should be "No", not "Mo".
Just joined Amigatech-wow was it a snap using ^P. What is the difference between ^P and ^O? Barry
What's the matter, Rick, too much "paper work". I thought computers were supposed to make tasks like that easier? (Or is that only in the IBM and MAC world?). 8) In any case, I think that the new forums will offer some deffinte advantages,paticularly with regards to the message base.…
Thanks, Marlene. I'll give it a try.
Only one way to find out! Good luck.
#New ^%$# forums!
Message #122
Well, it looks like they couldn't leave things well enough alone and here we are stuck with 3 new forums! I don't mind so much, it'll be easier to read subjects of interest in the message bases etc. HOWEVER, membership should have been automatic! I hate joining forums and watching…

Dmusic/Soundscape
Message #134119
You've confused me, too. I also have version 1.4 and it is copy protected ( the version I have at least). Maybe they stopped protecting it, or let a copy slip by without it. If it Gurus when you start it, just clicking on it's icon, without loading DMCS then…

John, I just caught this string. If your problem lies within the copy-protection of either DMCS or SS another approach is to remove it with Marauder II. It works on both-so long as you re-install SS. It won't stop SS from opening, but it might stop the Guru. Barry

Scheme
Message #129374
No problem, Ben. Fixed already? You're a hell of a lot faster than WordPerfect at bug squishing! Too bad it wasn't part of the "lost line" bug. Barry
An idea! Instead of a requestor that pops up every time an off screen object would be manipulated by Scheme (oh, boy could that get tedious fast) use one of the unused boxes in the palette and have it change if an off screen item is selected. That way the…

It's called PLOT2PRINT. Don't know if it's PD or what.
Walter, Rick says there is a program that converts HPGL to Epson commands to run an Epson printer. Either follow this thread or I'll try to get you the name. Barry
It was definetly something else then. The one I used was in Basic. Do you remember the name. It might be nice for test plots, if its faster than a plotter. Barry
I remember trying that (is that the one written in AmigaBasic?) and couldn't get it to work. Dosen't it need a wide carrige Epson or something? I'm not terribly concerend though, I'm using an Western Graphtec MP 2000 that is just great (and cheap). Barry
You're welcome. Before my Amiga modem was online I downloaded to my PX-8 then transferd to Ami using a null modem adaptor. Since both my Com programs operated at 9600 baud it took no time! Barry
Scheme 1.7
Message #127716
I couldn't wait any longer for the Scheme update so I started using the "bug infested" version of 1.7 that I have. After using it seriously for the first time I'd like to give you my comments. I only ran into the bug that you described once, I ended up…

In answer to your question about mCAD. Yes and no. Mcad will only _plot_, and only HP graphics language. However, if you can print grahpics on your printer there is a way. Click your workbench to the front and do a graphics dump (it will wait a few seconds then…

The 1000 is superior to the new machines? No wonder they're being replaced! I don't really need to "record in stereo and monitor in MONO…" Why anyone would want to do that beyond me! Hey, why not record in stereo while watching TV, or taking a shower! {8)

Thanks for the offer to send a circuit diagram but that won't be needed. I have no desire to build one, could design one myself if I did and have a couple of 8x4x2 mixers that I could use if I wanted to. Hmm, on the other hand perhaps there…

I saw you and Rick discussing ways of feeding to your Recorder in Stereo and your monitor in Stereo. Did you ever come up with a way of doing it with passive electronics?

Yes, the PX-8 has a built in micro cassette recorder and it's slow. luckily I they also built battery powered disk drives! With PD software I've had good luck ordering through Amazing Computing! But a month doesn't seem out of the ordinary for delevery time. As for using my CX-20…

Great. Let me know how you like Synthia. You've got me beat, my PX-8 has an 8 line by 80 coulmn dispow I use the interlace mode and get a 48 by 80 display-much better. Barry P.S. (Though I'm still using that ^%$* 300 baud acoustic coupling modem that they…

Well, only if he intends to use it. You're welcome! Barry
That remind me of when I was on this forum without a Comm program o my Epson PX-8. It sure is nice to be able to see more than 8 lines at a time. Anyhow when you do get your PD comm program, if its a basic type, then your…

Walter, I've never used Sonix or Synthia so I really can't comment on them. It _appears_ that they offer rather flexible ways of creating sounds, but as you mention they seem primarily geared for the musician. I've also seen a recommendation to you that you consider a Sampler. Unfortunately, those…

Cathy, your message got pretty garbled. If I can understand what is there of it though you need the software for the SS sampler. Well if you're using Pro Midi Studio then you already have the software, you don't need the disk included with the sampler. If not, you should…

The best imitation gong I've ever heard was made by taking a telephone bell, hitting it once with its clapper-recording at 7.5 IPS and playing back at 1.75IPS. If you're interested in artifical gongs that is.

What are your intentions for the sound efffects? You might want to try a PD program in DL 15 called DRW, it can produce some interesting sounds but it takes a while. Its rather interesting, you draw a picture, and, depending upon the color, line thickness, etc., it produces sounds-most…

I hope it works too! Tandy has had the guts to announce a PS 2 clone (big deal, I know) but at lease they're seemingly out to play with the big boys. Thor CD could make them another Sony. Lets hope they don't price it out of the market. Imagine…
The article I read said 1 year to 1 1/2. Of course this gives harware developers a chance to get ready and create a monster sampler for the Amiga. I can see why they're upset-if you were selling digital tape recorders for $250,000 (thats two-hundred fifty _thousand_ dollars) you probably…
#Thor CD
Message #120610
Rick, One of the local papers printed a paragraph article about something called Thor CD that they said Tandy was working on. It is supposed to be a way of writing AND erasing an optical CD. Have you heard anything about it? It would seem to be an ideal way…
