To receive your next issue of AMPLINEX free of charge you must
send a contribution of your own. This could be an AMPLE music program, an instrument
definition, an article about some aspect of the AMPLE language or Hybrid Music System
hardware or software, an AMPLE utility, a useful hint about AMPLE or an answer
to another user's question.
Under copyright law we cannot publish programs or music unless
we have the permission of the copyright owners or their licencing agent. It is
important to realise that in the case of an AMPLE music program, copyright
exists in both the program itself and the music it represents. There may even
be a separate copyright in the arrangement. If you wish to contribute transcriptions
into AMPLE of someone else's music you must credit the copyright owner(s) of
the music, the arrangement (if applicable) and lyrics (if included). We can then
try to obtain permission to publish.
To protect ourselves from copyright actions we must ask you to
sign the copyright declaration on the 'NEXT ISSUE' request form which was sent
to you with this issue of AMPLINEX. All submissions made to AMPLINEX will be regarded
as permission to publish within the AMPLINEX membership. Beyond this, the submission
remains the property of the author.
You can also use your returned disc to pass on questions
which you would like answered on any issue relating to the Hybrid Music System
or AMPLE language. We will do our best to answer them (or will pass them over to
the other members for help) and publish the results in the Questions and
Answers section of AMPLINEX.
You can also use AMPLINEX to advertise any (un)wanted items.
Just put the details of your advertisement onto the return disc and we will try
and include it in the next issue.
Send all contributions, on a standard DFS format disc (40 or
80 track).
Suggested file formats are:
a) AMPLE Music programs - save these in normal Studio 5000
format.
b) AMPLE instruments - save these in text form via *SPOOL
using the AMPLE 'TYPE' command to save the word(s) you want.
c) Text (hints, questions etc.) - use View or Wordwise and
save it (without embedded commands). If you have not got access to one of these
products you can use the Studio 5000 Notepad to create some text-only words by putting
a '%' at the start of each line. After MAKEing the word(s) you should use *SPOOL
and the AMPLE word 'TYPE' to save the word(s) you want to your return disc.
In all cases please put your name somewhere in the file. In
the case of AMPLE music programs use the DISPLAY facility in the 'RUN' word. For
instrument definitions put a '%' comment line at the start of the word.
In the case of instrument definitions some description of the
sound itself and hints on its use (e.g. which parameters could be changed) would
make it more useful.
Ensure that your discs are well packed as we will be using
the same packaging to return it to you.
Make sure you enclose a return address label and postage and
that both the packaging and the disc are marked with your name and address.
