Kevin Doyle, Roy Follett and Jackie Follett
Firstly, our apologies for the lateness of this issue (see
message below). We hope that the addition of the 'bonus' music disc will go
some way to compensate for the delay.
This issue was planned as a 'music' issue so, as well as the
17 pieces of music on the 'bonus' disc, there are a further 13 pieces included
on this disc!
In the 'Features' section there is the first of two articles
on using mixes, and in the 'Utilities' section there is the fifth of Roger
Cawkwell's series on 'Music theory in practice' as well as a utility, courtesy
of Music City, which uses the AMPLE BCE waveform design facilities to create new
waveforms for the Studio 5000.
That just leaves us space for the regular items such as
'Questions and Answers' and 'Hints and Tips' and for some reviews of the latest
music disc releases from Hybrid Technology.
We had planned to include more details about the AMPLINEX
007 survey results but, as results are still coming in, we have postponed this
until the next issue. So, to anyone who has still not returned a survey file,
please do so as soon as possible.
Now, on with the music...
A message from the editor:
In September I enrolled on a programme of part-time further
education, connected with my work. This means that I attend a series of
one-week residential courses about once every six weeks. In between the courses
there are the usual essays to be written and reading to do. I realised at the
time that this, combined with editing the AMPLINEX discs, would take up most of
my time, but I thought it could be done.
So far, I have managed to fit both activities in, but
occasionally the timing of an AMPLINEX disc release and of one of the courses
causes problems. This was the case with this issue which coincided with a
course in mid-January.
Since this situation is bound to occur again at some time in
the future, I hope that you will bear with us if disc releases are a little
late. Whenever possible we will try to anticipate delays and give an accurate date
in the 'Next issue news' section, but this may not always be possible.
Whatever the release date, however, we will naturally
endeavour to make sure each disc is something worth waiting for!
