- Welcome to the world of music on the ST. This share-ware program will let you
- create record albums from Music Studio files. These albums can be played on a
- midi synthesizer or through the monitor speaker. The program only runs in
- medium resolution.
-
- Music Studio is a good program as shown by the number of Music Studio songs in
- the public domain. The program is great for writing songs and learning midi and
- music on the ST. It has one weak spot. It is unable to play a series of songs
- as background music or entertainment without constantly reloading new files.
- This program permits you to arrange a series of up to 16 songs as an album and
- play them sequentially.
-
- Just click on the program "PLAYER.PRG" to play. You will have to create an
- album. This is done by clicking on the "CREATE" box and arrange Music Studio
- song files in the order you want. When you want to quit, just hit "CANCEL" on
- the file selector box. You will be given an opportunity to save the album. You
- can use any valid name with the extender ".ALB". To play the album, click on
- the "PLAY" box. To load an existing album, click on the "LOAD" box. the "QUIT"
- box returns to the desktop.
-
- Several operations can be done while the program is running. These are
- controlled by using control characters. Hold down the control key [^] and hit
- the appropriate letter. The following controls are used:
-
- ^C Quit, return to main menu (for Unix users)
- ^M Toggle midi output on/off
- ^N Skip to next song in the album
- ^Q Quit, return to main menu
- ^S Toggle monitor sound on/off
-
- Bugs:
- There are two known bugs. This program will not change instrument, either in
- midi or on the monitor speaker. I have not been able to figure out the Music
- Studio logic for selecting instruments. Any help would be appreciated. If you
- find any bugs, please leave a message on GENIE and include the name of the song
- file. If it is not on GENIE, I would appreciate a copy.
-
- Good listening!
