This isn't a direct answer, but may shed some light… or muddy things further. I've heard through 2 dealers that Phoenix Technologies is going to market a box that allows Amiga 1000s to use 2 Amiga 2000 cards. Said box has its own power supply and is supposed to sell…

Of course, you can record to any sequencer in real time, and THEN transfer the file to DMCS or the copyist (when it comes out). This doesn't give you real time transcription, but it can give you notated versions of live playing. With many of the limitations Rick mentioned, although…
That's fine with me. The only question I have has to do with illustrations and (maybe) a program listing. I use about a six line C program to do the conversion. I'm not sure whether I can send that on EasyPlex (I haven't worked much with it at all.) Anyway,…

Richard, I've been downloading DX7 voices from various networks and computers and then converting them to Amiga (Dr T's) format. The problem usually is that other computers save voices in a slightly different format. This data must be stipped off for the voices to be usable. I've written a short…
but very little for the MT-32. I'm waiting on a new modem to try downloading some of the files. It seemed that there were very few new (past three months) files, but I might have been looking in the wrong place. By the way, I have a question. Can you…
I have the Dr T's software and recommend it for the MT-32. You really need a computer to use the MT-32 to its full potential. As to storing [A or trading voices, I think that's a good idea, but I'm not sure if this is the right place. (perhaps MIDI…
Dr T's
Message #134159
The new issue of Amiga world has a review of Dr. T's KCS. The review mentions a conversion utility that allows KCS to read and write IFF files. My copy (bought the first week it was out) doesn't have this utility. Does anyone have more d details? Also what's the…
Midi and Basic
Message #126049
I have a programming question, but it also deals with music. Does anyone know a way to call a C program from AMigaBasic ? I don't want to call a library routine, but instead call a program as a subroutine. I am trying to use Bill Barton's Midi utilities to…

Message #118485
I tried the technique of running a cable from my interface's MIDI out to the MIDI in. I set SS to play samples and receive from the MIDI in. KCS was set to output (play only). It worked! (At least partially). My SS master disk seems to have trashed itself,…
I was browsing through the DL and it looked like there was a program that enhanced The Director's sound capabilities. I'm not sure if this would do exactly what you want though. Good luck.

I guess I'd better send in my registration card then! That's great! I'll certainly buy a copy of the DX27 editor. I still think a utility that would c convert KCS files to SMUS would be a great boost to the usefulness of KCS (at least until The Copyist comes…

Tie Soundscape to the MIDI input??? This is an intriguing suggestion, but shouldn't it be tie SS to the MIDI output? In other words, using SS to intercept the MIDI output from KCS and route it to play the voices. How exactly would I do this? I have 2 1/2…

I just bought Dr T's keyboard controlled sequencer. I'm pleased with its editing power, but somewhat disappointed that it doesn't use the Amiga's internal sound circuitry to allow you to play sampled instruments. This would be a great addition to this program (It is a straight port from the Atari…

Thanks for the info. I am definitely not happy with Soundscape–it's very awkward to use. I haven't heard too much about the Dr T product–good things about the IBM and C64 versions, but nothing specific about t Amiga version. I want something easier to use that deals with short segments…
#Music-X
Message #99919
I'm curious when we will get to see Music X. ks interesting. Especially the ability to edit and store patches for synthesizers (like the DX 27/100). A very useful editing features would be the ability to select specific notes in a track and then manipulate them. (I.E. select all the…
#word processors
Message #59003
Does anyone have any information on when Wordperfect will be released? I'm eagerly anticipating it, but would rather be eagerly using it. Also, does anyone have a review/information about Visawrite or any of the other new (non-scribble/textcraft) ones? I'd like to get something good. Thanks!
I am hoping to write a librarian for the Yamaha DX27/100. I'm planning to use Basic since I don't have C. My biggest problem is figuring out how to access the MiDI interface from BASIC. I can't seem to get basic to open a file to the serial port (book…

Music and MIDI
Message #22038
Yow! Sorry to get you in trouble Richard. Anyway, I have heard from at least one person (whose name I've misplaced) that the discussion of Yamaha specs, MIDI, and the Amiga was useful. Hopefully when sound Soundscape comes out we will be able to focus more directly on the Amiga…

Mimetics Music software

[C Thanks! From What I've gathered, the DX100, DX21, and DX27 all have identical sound circuitry. Patches for one work on the others. None have velocity sensi keyboards (both the 21 and 27 have large keys) but all have velocity sensitive hardware. Patches can use velocity info, but the keyboard…
