Update – changes/corrections/comments

This section is a focus for news about the workings of AMPLINEX, corrections to items in previous issues, and other small items of information which might otherwise be missed amongst the details of each issue.

Music 3000 files

In this issue we have a couple of music files ('Close encounters...' and 'Soft as diamond') which can be played on the Music 5000 alone, or in combination with the Music 3000. This combination - using two virtually identical synthesisers - is relatively easy to program, and does not suffer from the compatibility problems which arise with Music 2000 MIDI pieces (which will never sound the same on a different MIDI instrument). We would like, therefore, to receive more such files from members with this equipment.

Uses of the Hybrid Music System

We plan to put together a feature on the different uses to which members put the Hybrid Music System in the next issue of AMPLINEX. We are looking for examples of its use in, say, performance, recording or audio-visual work and would welcome further contributions from members describing their application.
We always welcome suggestions for improvements in the workings or contents of AMPLINEX - most of the changes made to date have originated from members' suggestions. So, if you have an idea to improve AMPLINEX, let us know.
Also, please let us know if you spot an error or omission in the contents of AMPLINEX - you may be the first one who has noticed.
