-
- The Disk Mag for Amiga Musicians
- AM/FM has now been taken over and will be published by MIDICraft
- and called MIDICraft Magazine
-
- The Amiga disk based magazine produced by Bj°rn A. Lynne (Dr.
- Awesome) in Norway, called 'Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine
- (AM/FM)' has due to other commitments, decided to cease publishing
- after 19 issues, (He now works for Team17 in Wakefield, Yorkshire. UK.)!
- After a series of communications MIDICraft have decided to take over the
- helm of publishing the magazine but the AM/FM logo is being dropped!
- Instead, the magazine is now called 'MIDICraft Magazine'- The
- Disk Mag for Amiga Musicians. Previous distributors both here
- in the U.K. and overseas of AM/FM have been contacted and the
- U.K.,distibutors are currently stocking the magazine. We have
- published, to date (Oct 1996), 10 MIDICraft Magazine issues, 10 MIDICraft
- Sample disks and 4 MIDICraft Special disks (Look out for these
- at your previous distribution library in your country or
- contact the publishers direct for your personal copies!) The new
- MIDICraft Magazine will of course retain the "look" and "feel" of the old
- magazine. The disk mag will contain a specially printed label as proof of
- Licenceware, will retain the menu layout, and disk contents/directories
- structures as before. The price will stay the same as before!
-
- Moreover, the new MIDICraft Magazine will try to retain some of the
- better aspects, such as Reviews, News and Hints and Tips sections. The
- new MIDICraft Magazine will also retain the Amiga tracker music element and
- strive to support both the tracker format as well as the much
- improved OctaMED Professional and the new OctaMED Sound Studio format.
- MIDI and Music-X software and the Notator-X data formats will continue
- being featured in the magazine in most sections including FREE Music-X
- and SMF MIDI files on each issue of the magazine.
-
- As well as the regular Editorial and features the readers letters
- will be expanded so come on get writing and send those letters to us
- here at our address below! (You can use the readers letters section for
- your MIDI software or hardware problems!) We are also looking for
- musical contributors but you don't have to be a musician! If you
- can write in an interesting and informative way about anything musical
- which you may think will be of interest to MIDICraft readers then please
- contact us. If you are Amiga musicians and have some music you've
- composed or arranged for any of the Amiga music/MIDI software then send
- it to us with a brief description of the music and
- software/sample/MIDI voicing/Channel setup for easy recognition. If you
- have recorded your music to either cassette tape or CD then you can
- also send us review copies and we will strive to produce unbiased,
- objective reviews! (Although as The Craft Brothers, we have recently
- recorded our own 'A Drop in the Ocean' CD project we would like to think
- that we are simply musicians JUST LIKE YOU!!!) Computer programmers who
- have coded musical orientated Public Domain or Commercial Software
- Programs or Utilities, can have their work featured on the magazine as
- either completed or demo versions. (Please include program documentation!)
- Hopefully a large musician readership can be targeted directly. All
- contributors whose work is featured on the magazine will receive that
- particular issue of the MIDICraft Magazine for FREE.
-
- Sample disks have been discontinued!
-
- The Special disks theme is again being published and may cover
- anything from readers Modules, to Professional Standard MIDI Files (SMF)
- and or really useful Amiga music utilities; synth Editors and Librarians
