present, is usually not a problem for live work – i.e. if you just want to
listen to your Amiga play music through a set of speakers, it probably
won't be a problem. The D-110 sound module is a rack mount synthesizer
that is similar in capabilities, has lower noise, more front panel control,
and has separate outputs. Roland also has advertised the CM-32L (which
seems to be an enhanced MT-32 w/o front panel display or buttons), the
CM-32P (which is a PCM box with similar functionality) and the CM-64 (which
seems to be a combination of the CM-32L and CM-32P). (I'm not certain of
the availability of these models, since I've never actually seen them in a
store.) Be certain to audition whatever sound module you buy, since the
different methods of synthesis have distinct qualities.
Interesting that you should mention Music-X in your message. Music-X
happens to be one of the only packages that does include a generic
editor/librarian, a protocol editor, and D50, TX81Z and DX100 patch editors
as standard equipment. MI has promised additional editors to be
forthcoming as an extra, but so far, none have surfaced. There's a lot of
things that I like about Music-X, so I hope that the new release and
accessories show up soon.
Hope this helps. 8)
