#81489- #VGA IFF incompatible? Message #81501
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade December 31, 1989 7:00 PM
I had gotten the impression (apparently incorrect) from people who had worked with the format that it was missing the surrounding FORM declarations and only had the various chunks. I guess I'm wrong on that. If that is the only difference, then it *is* a valid IFF file, and it's…
#14240 MUSIC-X to SMUS Message #14260
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP Amiga Vendor Forum · MicroIllusions December 31, 1989 5:28 PM
There is, I believe, a Music X to Midi File Format (MFF) converter, and a MFF to SMUS converter available in various libraries. (I think the first one is here in the Microillusions library, and the second is either over in AmigaArts, LIB 8, or in the MIDI forum itself,…
#81285 Unarcing big files Message #81475
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade December 31, 1989 4:55 PM
There are two possible ways. If you have 1 Meg of RAM, you can copy the PROBE.ARC file to RAM:, then put in a blank disk, CD to it, and: arc x RAM:probe.arc Likewise, if you have a second disk drive, you can do something similar, only with the drive…
#26590 DMCS MIDI Help! Message #26690
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP Amiga Arts Forum · Audio/MIDI December 31, 1989 3:14 PM
My personal opinion about DMCS (MIDI or not) is that it really doesn't need an upgrade as much as a sidegrade. The user interface needs a major overhaul to make it generally usable. I'd much rather see an upgrade to Sonix to add missing musical details (32nd+ notes, triplets, slurs,…

#80562- 16-bit samples Message #80781
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade December 27, 1989 8:09 PM
Well, there are several parts to that question, and I'll try to cover them one at a time: Is it possible to create software usable with current hardware? Not really. The sampling hardware available is all 8 bit, as are the Amiga playback voices. Getting the speed would certainly be…
#78819- #AMax 'n' hard drives Message #78847
From: Steve Bennett/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors December 15, 1989 6:54 PM
The problem with hard drive access under A-Max isn't a particularly easy one to solve. The main obstacle is that you need to write a driver for all the various hard disk boards on the Amiga to interface with them. (On the Mac, they don't have to worry about such…
