Ishi's Tragedy

A few days ago i got this uuencoded binary off the news groups
called Ishi’s Tragedy. I think Delitracker noted it was in
screamtracker format. To get to the point. I think this is a
realy good tune and was hoping someone else on here has a copy
in iff format without the hiss and scratch. Or a way to play it
without the noise.  Anyone?  

thanx

MIDI Player

Hello:

    Is there any MIDI sequence player for the Amiga?

    I hope it has GUI,pitch, and volume control as well.

Samples

Has anyone an idea of where I could find sound samples (from instruments or
other) in 16bits .wav format…

search to work in demo scene …

Hello for all . I am musician on amiga and i would work this . But now
I would to work with some group for demo …
(if you have some work for me , don’t hesitate :) ))  )

perhaps an s3m editor ?????

i would like to have an S3M editor on amiga …
I think it’s possible (see the s3m player)

It could have 16 track maximum , 8 track on the screen , and a speed
listening or editing with 8 or 4 voices
and a full listening with all voice in disable system …

I hope that a mad but very good) coder read this and he thinks about it
:) )
thanks

Do you have/use the SunRise AD516??

Do you have a hard drive that is 1.2Gb or LESS in size and can do
at least 6 tracks, maybe 7 or 8 played back at once?

If so, please e-mail me the make and model of the drive!!
Any specs would also be appreciated… THANKS!

*** MIDI Formats 0 and 1??? ***

I have a program here for my Amiga that is suppose to be able to play
MIDI files format 0 and format 1.  What are these MIDI files, and where
are they available?

Please e-mail me with any info.  Thanks.

BANANAPLAYER

To all of you who still wonder what BANANAPLAYER IS….

It will be released next week. The only missing thing right now is that
*I* have to write the documentation for it. It have been improved in some
ways and is in my eyes *THE* module player. It have DIVIDERS in the
playlist (which i haven’t seen in any moduleplayer…. *YET*). And of coz
suport for PLAY-SID tunes in it as well.

How to read a sampler?

How  do  I  correctly  read  a  stereo audio digitizer?  How do I tell left
channel  bytes  from  right  channel  ones – how do I tell the sampler what
frequency it is supposed to sample at?

AUGGHH!!!  Please, guys, check prior art, and *don’t* reinvent the wheel!

The central ideas, and large parts of what you envisage, are already
embodied in my ‘MusicWeb’, which has been running on my system [and a
few other people's] for over a year now!  And I think if you had spent
some time on this group you would already know about it: there have been
enough postings…

Under the MusicWeb, you can connect all sorts of small modules together
to process MIDI (and other things) in real-time.  Moreover, everything is
managed in a ‘graphic diagram’: you simply place your desired elements
in the diagram and connect them together.  You can fiddle with the layout
to your heart’s content — even while MIDI is flowing.

The modules currently available range from simple note-transpose and other
filters, through path-splitters and delay elements, to 8SVX instrument
players and standard-MIDIfile handlers.

*Everything* in the system is modular and extensible.  The data-passing
mechanism is entirely general, and can handle (and *does* handle) many
kinds of information besides MIDI events.  Another variant of the basic
scheme (the ‘DataWeb’) handles audio waveform data in the same fashion.

Some more specific comments follow:

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand/agree with most of what you say there.
The OS *itself* should not be concerned with things like MIDI — I want
to see the kernel remain a *kernel* and not suffer from the bloat visible
on the other side of the fence.  On the other hand I do agree that it would
be nice to have a generally accepted protocol to underpin such applications.
However, previous attempts to provide such seem to have largely been lost
in the swirls of the bitstream — viz. Bill Barton’s midi.library and
Commodore’s own CAMD [you *were* aware of that one, I hope?].

Your mention of the serial.device seems to entirely miss the point.
The reason that "other programs can’t use the port" is more that MIDI
activity precludes doing much else with the serial port at the time anyway!
There *are* problems with the serial device — mainly that it really isn’t
fast enough for MIDI.  But *any* program that uses the serial port —
whether or not it also actually uses the serial.device — should register
with the device so that other possible applicants for the port will be
warned off.  I’ve seen a number of programs that don’t observe this
(similarly with audio.device)… fortunately my dustbin is handy.

And failure to combine MIDI and internal audio is *no* fault of the OS
— simply the application programmers who couldn’t be bothered.  Personally
I’m now having great fun finding out which of my suite of 8SVX instrument
files sound best on the MusicWeb with the MIDI files I’ve downloaded off
the net!

You may lose [*one* 'o' BTW (:-/)] more than you think with this approach.

*Exactly* what the MusicWeb does (aside from Mod files and 8-voice audio
[can't do EVERYTHING myself (:-) -- anyone else is welcome to implement
them, though...]).  Nor are there drivers for any specific manufacturer’s
sound cards, but they would certainly fit right into the scheme too.

So again, please don’t go haring off on your own.  A lot (and I mean a
*lot*) of work has gone into the whole ‘Web’ design.  [Though the choice
of name has turned out to be a bit unfortunate these days -- the project
was started before the advent of the WWW (:-)]  It would be a shame to
have it all duplicated.  I can provide more information to anyone who
wishes to pursue it.  Some of the details are proprietary, but the
communication mechanism is freely available.

Cheers,
