by Neil WalkerAmjam trio present A bit of fiddling with the system clock via the WIND word. I have used part9a to control the articulation of the vibe player, by moving the WIND start position further into the bar as the 1st phrase is repeated.
There is not much spare time left for, for example, the Mixing Desk, due I think to the VOICE changes on drums, and overworking the vibe player. The music is a bit of AMPLE wind (the other kind!), originally written to be played quite slowly. Neil Walker |

by Jack WrigleyComposed by: Norman MeadeA Rolling Stones classic that was first recorded by Irma Thomas way back in the early sixties Originally recorded by Irma Thomas in the early 60's, but best remembered by the Rolling Stones' 1964 version.
Well, AMPLE plays some old fashioned rhythm and blues music! I would be the first to admit that this 'barely scratches the surface' of AMPLE compared to some of the weird and wonderful approaches to programming published by AMPLINEX. However, it works and may serve as an example to newer members that if you're prepared to enter parts 'longhand' then very little knowledge of AMPLE is required. That certainly couldn't be said of the old AMPLE BCE system! Jack Wrigley |

by Lol TaylorThe first version of this piece I made using an EMS Synthi in the late 1960s. I had to do a lot of dubbing so that the result finished up with tape hiss and clipping in the louder parts.
Unfortunately I haven't yet located the tape reel so this version is based on memory only, and must vary from the original quite a lot. The sirens are sea nymphs, part woman part bird, whose songs lure sailors to their deaths. LT |

by Bill BuckleyThis music is written so that it plays forever and so this recording is just a sample of the music that it could produce. |

by Roy AtkinsComposed by: Henry PurcellI am a British expatriate living in The Netherlands. This year marks the 300th anniversary of the Golden Revolution, when William of Orange left Holland to claim the throne of England and with his wife Mary reigned for many years.
The tercentenary, which ends on 1st July 1989, has been celebrated by numerous cultural events linking the two countries. Many of the events have featured the music of Henry Purcell, the composer to the Royal Court of W&M. This piece was part of a suite written to celebrate Queen Mary's 33rd birthday in April 1694. She died later that year. |

by Pete HoldroydComposed by: Michael PraetoriusThis jolly little number in waltz time is yet another piece of Baroque music, following on from La Venissiene (in AMPLINEX 009).
La Volta was probably collected by Praetorius in the early 17th century, and arranged by him. It is possible that he composed it himself. |

by Diccon MaudeOr 'Cacophony in Motion'. An experiment. I know that not everyone will like this piece _ sorry if you don't. However, there may be ideas in it that you can use.
As the titles say, it is an experiment - in randomization, echo, and stereo positions, among other things. Look into the words and see if you can understand the processes. Good luck with your own experiments. Diccon Maude |

by Paul HibbertThis is the first song ever to be completed by myself.
I must have been really sad about something because the lyrics go on and on and I wouldn't want to bore you with them. Suffice it to say that no matter how bad the tune or lyrics are, this one will always be special to me. |

by John BartlettComposed by: Stanley MyersOne item of possible interest in this arrangement is the 'mix' change between parts 'e' and 'f'. There have been queries from time to time about unmixes and the audibility of such changes. In this piece parts 'a' to 'e' are played by 3 separate players - two with 3 voices and one with 2 voices. But part 'f' required 1 player with 6 voices.
The normal 'unmix'-'newmix' method can leave a nasty glitch in the sound, most particularly in rhythmic pieces. The alternative is to remix within the parts themselves. In this piece there is little to choose between either method, but both are demonstrated. The conventional solution can be found in parts 'y', 'z', 'mix1', 'mix2' and 'play1'. Simply type play1 and the last two parts will play. 'mix1' is a 'sub-unmix' as described in the manual and 'mix2' is a conventional mix. The 'internal' remixing can be seen in 'part1e', 'part3e' and 'part1f'. The solution was to let player 2 (with two voices) play the last bar of part 'e' and juggle players 1 and 3. This is achieved by freeing players 1 and 3 in section 'e' with the instruction 3SHARE 3VOICES UNUSED and assigning the new voices to player 1 with '1SHARE 6VOICES' in 'part1f'. It is important to take care where these instructions are placed because if they are not placed properly the glitch can be worse than with the conventional method! The 'solo' instrument is one which I created many moons ago and always serves well for a guitar voice. Appreciation also to Richard Bettis whose ACT definition has been used unmodified for the arpeggios. But enough of this! Just listen to the beautiful music. |
