THE MIDI FILES ON THIS DISK *********************************** AM/FM ***********************************  MIDI music on this issue: - Everybody Wants To Rule The World, by Tears for Fears - In Too Deep, by Genesis - Eye in the Sky, by Alan Parson Project - Windcoaliz, by Geir W. Kristoffersen - Lots of stand-alone drum patterns IMPORTANT !!! Please note that all the MIDI files on this disk are packed with Powerpacker, and you will need to unpack them before you can do anything with them. To unpack the files, you can use the command "Decrunch" that is located in the C-directory on this disk. You can also use Powerpacker, version 2.2 or higher. [Powerpacker 3.0 Professional is copyrighted UGA software] *********************************** AM/FM ***********************************  Now some general info about the files and file formats. The following text was also printed in earlier issues of AM/FM, so if you read it there, just skip the rest of this file. Some of the files are stored as plain old ".MIDI" files, that means they should be able to load into just about any decent sequencer program available, not only on the Amiga, but also on other home computers, like IBM-clone PC's, Atari ST, Apple MacIntosh etc. Of course, in order to load the files on another computer, you will need to transfer the files to a disk format that these computers can read, for instance to load the .MIDI files on a PC, you will need to use Dos-2-Dos, CrossDos or another "disk-translator". Anyway, back to the MIDI files. Some of the pieces are stored as Music-X Performance files, so you can just load them directly into Music-X. We are aware that there is a .MIDI to Music-X converter program that comes with Music-X, but when these performances go through the .MIDI conversion and back, they tend to lose bits here and there, especially when they're built up with a Control Sequence in Music-X. So we chose to bring you these songs in both .MIDI and Music-X formats. If you are using Music-X, and I believe the majority of Amiga/MIDI users are, you should load the Music-X performance and just forget about the .MIDI version. The Music-X version is the one that ends with ".MX". Some MIDI songs may also be in MED-format. These files will quite happily load into MED or OctaMED, but can't be converted to anything else. Each of the MIDI songs are described in separate text files. *********************************** AM/FM ***********************************
