Question: Using a hard disc
Are any members of AMPLINEX using a hard disc with their
Music 5000/4000 setups?
Are there any problems with daisy-chaining other peripherals
on the 1MHz bus through-port on the Music 5000?

Question: Music 3000/5000 files
I would like to know how to make a Music 5000/3000 file. I
have just taken ownership of the Music 3000 unit and of course would like to
continue to send AMPLINEX copies of my music. I do not as yet know how to make
the music suitable for the Music 5000 as well as the Music 3000.
I noticed that Michael Lefevre used some sort of method,
when he wrote 'Do It' (AMPLINEX 020 Music section). It said '3000 version
playing' when I had the Music 3000 up and running, and 'Music 5000 version
playing' when I had not.

Answer: Key signatures
In reply to Chris Hanby's query on the K(...)K command
(AMPLINEX 023), where a construction such as
K(+F)K =F
does not give the intended result, the problem is accepted
as an (unfortunate) feature of AMPLE and the answer is to re-position the key signature
after that first note.
Since the problem of was dealt with as long ago as AMPLINEX
002, I claim no originality for the above comment.

Question: The AMPLE Recorder
Not much has been written about the Recorder facility in
AMPLE. Does anybody use it?
I can't identify exactly when, but I find that once a piece
is about half complete the Recorder starts to falter, refusing to play even 1
or 2 of the existing parts as backing to the new one I'm trying to create. Normally,
I set the quantum value to 16.
Is this comment typical, or have any AMPLINEX members found
ways and means to make it work better?
