As you will have noticed, there is another 'bonus' disc
included with this issue. This time, however, it contains not music but an
excellent utility developed by AMPLINEX member Taj Letocha which extends the
BBC computer's EXEC facility to allow, for example, dozens of instrument files
to be held on one side of a disc. Full details of the utility are held on the
'bonus' disc - just use the normal
"A.MPLINEX" LOAD RUN
command to start.
The utility is designed for Sideways RAM but, for the
minority of AMPLINEX members without this facility, author Taj Letocha has
kindly offered to provide a ROM version of the software. If you would like to
make use of this offer, please send a cheque for £7.00 to:

On this disc, as well as the usual 'Questions and Answers'
and 'Hints and Tips' sections, there are two further utilities including one
from Roger Cawkwell, author of the 'Practice of Music' series, which is the
first of what will be occasional example pieces exploring specific aspects of
AMPLE music.
Making up the rest of the disc we have fourteen pieces of
AMPLINEX members' music plus two examples from the latest Hybrid Technology
music discs. Both these discs are reviewed, together with the latest hardware release
from Hybrid, in the 'News and Reviews' section.
Finally, we have a couple of features - one a beginner's
guide to 'unmixes', the other some debate on the nature and use of AMPLE music.
Please keep the contributions coming.
