Currently available AM/FM disks (15 July 1993): AM/FM Magazine Disks 1-14 *** AM/FM Sample Disks 1-14 AM/FM Special Disks 1-6 (34 disks total) Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine (AM/FM) is a disk based magazine which is made for everyone who owns an Amiga is interested in music. Whether you're into composing, collecting, studying, or simply enjoying music, then AM/FM will have lots to offer. If you want to learn more about using the Amiga as a music computer, you simply cannot miss out on AM/FM. A new issue of AM/FM is released approximately every second month, and each issue consists of two disks - the AM/FM Magazine Disk itself, and an AM/FM Sample Disk. Each of these two disks can be bought separately or together - that's up to you. Each AM/FM Magazine Disk contains news, reviews, previews, hints & tips, tutorials, new sounds for popular synthesizers, lots of great Amiga-only music, lots of great MIDI music, and last but not least - the latest in sound- and music utilities! Each issue contains 2-5 Amiga songs, 2-5 MIDI songs and 3-7 Sound/Music Utility programs!  FACT: Nearly everyone who have tried one issue of AM/FM, have ordered all back-issues!!! Why? Try one issue, and find out!  The AM/FM Sample Disks are all stuffed full of superb quality samples (We know because we sample everything ourselves) from the latest and best in synthesizers, drum machines etc. All AM/FM Magazine Disks and Sample Disks are system-friendly, and use flexible and system-friendly routines and standard Amigados file system, so all files on the disk can easily be taken out and copied anywhere. Also, the magazine works on all Amigas (as far as we know anyway), works fine on PAL or NTSC, and can also be run from a harddisk environment. The music, text, utilities, sound files etc. on AM/FM are not coded or protected in any way. Everything is stored in standard AmigaDos files with proper filenames, which makes it easy to study the music closer by loading it into the correct music editor - or to copy the utilities to your own disks or harddisk. AM/FM can be started from your own workbench environment. Unlike other magazines - you do not have to reset your Amiga and boot with the magazine disk. Of course, you can reset and boot if you prefer to. Both will work fine.  Facts about AM/FM --------------------  - AM/FM is the only serious disk magazine for Amiga musicians. Some other feeble attempts have been made, but only AM/FM has stood the test of time. - AM/FM is the biggest selling Amiga disk magazine in Europe - despite the fact that it's only for musicians! - AM/FM has been given superb reviews in magazines such as Amiga Format, Amiga Computing and CU Amiga.  - "I was very pleasantly surprised..." - "It goes into far greater detail than ordinary Amiga magazines..." - "It covers everything..." - "If you're seriously interested in music, this is one magazine that you truly can't afford to miss..."  (CU Amiga) - As good as everyone who have ever tried one issue of AM/FM, has come back to order all released issues. - AM/FM pays cash money to programmers of quality sound/music utilities for licensing their program to AM/FM instead of releasing it as "normal" P.D. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  AM/FM PRICES  After reading about everything that AM/FM offers, you're pretty sure it must be expensive, right?

We believe it is the biggest and most ambitious product ever created with the Amiga. (Probably with any home computer.) Tobias Richter has for long been well known for his excellent animation work on the Amiga; now he's pushed himself, his hardware and his software to the limits and come up with an 8-minute movie which is unlike anything the home computer market has ever seen before. The movie is created with HAM-animations using special 24-bit graphics cards, running 50 frames/sec for approx. 8 minutes total. The animations have been cut and edited in a video workshop.  FIVE A3000'S WERE RENDERING ANIMATION FRAMES AROUND THE CLOCK FOR 6 WEEKS.  The original soundtrack on the movie was composed by Bjørn "Dr.Awesome" Lynne, and recorded from digital media onto the video in HIFI dolby stereo. Various sound effects also add atmosphere to the movie. If you want to put an end to big-mouthed PC- or Atari-owners, show them "Space Wars" played on a HIFI stereo video and displayed on a large colour screen. That should shut them up for a while! ANY computer fan will freak out when he sees "Space Wars"! Space Wars is delivered on a Superb Quality HIFI Stereo Maxell Professional HG VHS video cassette.  SPACE WARS. You will believe it. When you see it.

Fantastic new look and new features, more powerful than ever. You will NOT find PT3.10b (or above) distributed by any PD companies, except by those who distribute AM/FM, and PT3+ must be sold as an AM/FM disk. Disk contains the program itself, all documentation, replay routines, stand-along module player "NPlay", and new previously unreleased demonstration modules! AM/FM Special Disks #4 and #5 BJØRN "DR.AWESOME" LYNNE'S DEFUNCT PROJECTS, VOL I and VOL II: Two disks filled with 19 Amiga-only songs by Bjørn A. Lynne, Editor of AM/FM and also known as "Dr.Awesome/Crusaders". The music on these two disks were originally composed for various game- and demo-projects; but these games and demos have unfortunately been cancelled because of contractual trouble, lazy programmers, etc. So the music now lives a life of it's own, and is presented to you here as AM/FM Special Disks #4 and #5; Bjørn "Dr.Awesome" Lynne's Defunct Projects, Vol. I and Vol. II. Lots of atmospheric music here, in the typical Dr.Awesome / Crusaders style. Vol. I: (Special Disk #4): Vol. II: (Special Disk #5) Cyberlife 1 Airline Intro/Title Score Cyberlife 2 Airline In-game 1 Oblivion Airline In-game 3 Shanghai Title/Intro Score Fanfare from "Pictures..." Shanghai In-game 1 Kasei Vallis Intro/Title Shanghai In-game 2 Kasei Vallis Pause (Stardance) Shanghai Hi-score Kasei Vallis Combat music Shanghai Game-Over Kasei Vallis In-game 1 Zirkonium-Theme Kasei Vallis In-game 2 Kasei Vallis In-game 3 AM/FM Special Disk #6 This disk is a compilation of 5 superb Amiga/Music utilities which were a little too disk-space-consuming to use on AM/FM Magazine Disks. There was just enough room for the 5 of them on one disk after we had compressed them heavily with the latest version of PowerPacker. This AM/FM Special Disk is a collection of advanced MIDI Utilities and a module player which easily beats all other module players made so far. (June -93). This disk was released because these utilities took up too much disk space to be used on AM/FM Magazine Disks, which should instead use most of their disk-space for articles, tutorials etc. etc. No Amiga + MIDI user should be without this disk!! CYCLOPHONICS: Advanced MIDI Colour Organ! Requires MIDI. ALGORHYTHMS: Makes your Amiga compose it's own MIDI music! Requires MIDI. SMARTPLAY: The superior module-player available for the Amiga, beats all others in flexibility, ease and speed of use. Requires kickstart 2.x or higher. D10-GLIB: Specially rewritten version of the program GLIB for on-screen editing and storage of Roland D10 patches, tones, banks and drums. Requires MIDI and a Roland D10. MIDICHORDS: Visualises music and lets you put chords together in a new and exciting, "visual" way. Also contains a simple sequencer and other MIDI tools. Requires MIDI. å42m  å42m AM/FM SAMPLE DISKS  å42m  AM/FM Sample Disk #1: Drums & Percussion - 45 Drums & Percussion sounds from Roland PCM 10 Sound Card, sampled on high sample rate and added reverb for best possible sound quality. AM/FM Sample Disk #2: Orchestral Winds - 58 orchestral winds sounds. Many different flutes, brass, saxes, trumpets, brass chords, as well as some untraditional and ethnic winds. AM/FM Sample Disk #3: Sound effects - Death and Horror - 30 atmospheric non-instrumental death & horror sound effects for that scary edge! AM/FM Sample Disk #4: Korg 707 - 32 instruments (not effects but proper instruments) sampled from the Korg 707 synthesizer. Most of the sounds are purely fictious synthetic ones, and should suit well into the sample collection if you're into synth music. AM/FM Sample Disk #5: Grand Piano - 16 Grand Piano samples - a rich, full grand piano sound including the most used chords, all sounds looped for infinite sustain, lots of sounds covering a wide pitch spectre (6 octaves), and some piano sounds with added strings, pads and choir. AM/FM Sample Disk #6: Korg Wavestation, part 1 - 48 Instrumental sounds from Korg Wavestation. Great dynamics in these characteristic sounds from the Synth of All Synths from Korg. Some chords, but mostly lead-, bass and fill sounds. No percussion. AM/FM Sample Disk #7: Korg Wavestation, part 2 - 53 Instrumental sounds from Korg Wavestation. Great dynamics in these characteristic sounds from the Synth of All Synths from Korg. Lead-, bass and fill sounds. No percussion. No chords. AM/FM Sample Disk #8: Korg Wavestation, part 3 (Chords) - 46 new samples from the Korg Wavestation - this time ALL chords. Pads, choirs, synths, orchestral etc., all sampled on the most usual chords (minor, major, sus2, sus4) as well as some add6/add7-chords too. AM/FM Sample Disk #9: Korg M1 Drums & Percussion - 84 rhythmic samples from the ever so popular Korg M1 synthesizer. Not only a large range of "standard" drum sounds, but also a lot of rhythmic effects, lasers, scratching and other unconventional percussion sounds. AM/FM Sample Disk #10: Vector Worlds, part 1 - A collection of ambient and hard-hitting sounds _created_ by the AM/FM staff on a Korg Wavestation. Each and every sound has lots of character - if you want really unique sounds, then this collection is for you! AM/FM Sample Disk #11: Vector Worlds, part 2 - More special and atmospheric sounds, programmed exclusively for AM/FM on a Korg Wavestation EX. Truly unique and characteristic sounds made for the occasion by AM/FM staff. AM/FM Sample Disk #12: Death & Horror Sound Effects, Part 2 - Following up AM/FM Sample Disk #3, here are some more non-instrumental death & horror sound effects; for example "Eye ball being pulled out", man being strangled, Hungry monster about to be fed, etc. etc. AM/FM Sample Disk #13: Ensoniq SQ-R, Part 1 - This disk is the first in a series of compiled samples of sounds created by the AM/FM staff on the superb Ensoniq SQ-R+ synthesizer. These sounds are highly atmospheric and unique, and will give your music new life and originality. Chords included. AM/FM Sample Disk #14: Ensoniq SQ-R, Part 2 - More sounds created by the AM/FM staff on the superb Ensoniq SQ-R+ synthesizer. Like on the previous disk, these sounds are truly special and atmospheric, and will undoubtedly breathe new life and a touch of sheer quality to your music.
