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.
