- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> you can order it from CMD.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Ahh, Ill look around for it... I use 30120's a bunch in
- programming... (I know it cant be DLed) I have a prg to convert mus to 30120
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Hiya Tim! :D
- <[Tim 520 ST] T.EMRICH1> Hi Bruce...
- <J.ROY18> Tim!
- <[Jon 1040STe] J.ROY18> was <J.ROY18>.
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> CMD sells the book/disk combination for $22.95.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> The other thing i do is run my c-64 as a voice mail for my
- line.... any one know of others who do this?
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> If you want to order the set, you can call CMD at
- 1-800-638-3263. :)
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> thanks Bruce
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I've never heard of that Jeff! Neat idea!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Hiya Bill! :)
-
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> it works really well, I don't know how i lived without it.
- <C128-BILL> Hi Bruce! Music and SID stuff! ;)
- <[Tim 520 ST] T.EMRICH1> is it ILLEGAL to digitize copyright music??
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I have uploaded some metal myself... Yngwie Malmsteen.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> only to a certain extent
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Tim, I guess the answer is lies in what ya do with it....
- <[Tim 520 ST] T.EMRICH1> Well what if you uploaded them to a BBS??
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> I use some digitized stuff on my voice mail (currently
- some dead) but it changes, i assume thats only marginally illegal
- <[Jon 1040STe] J.ROY18> There is alot of digitized music in the ST RT...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I am not an expert on this.. and ya need an expert
- opinion if yer concerned... but brief excerpts are probably dealt with
- differently than the whole song.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Is master composer in PD?
- <[Jon 1040STe] J.ROY18> (I was going to digitize some songs and stuff.... I
- can't UL them legally, although other songs are already up here?)
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> A poor 64 runs out of memory before ya digitize too much!
- <[Tim 520 ST] T.EMRICH1> Well Jon...if you go to the pay side of GEnie and
- type say 'notify j.roy18' it will say either J.roy18 is not online or it will
- say 'Notify Text?' and you will type the message in...
- <[Jon 1040STe] J.ROY18> I thought that was removed... Wow! I'll remember!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> HAs anyone here tried to do their own SID arranging?
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> I've got Kung Fu Fighting for the 64 from here, its GREAT..
- i don't have the cash either
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> I've done some composing on MCS but not a sid
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Jeff... Master Composer does some fine work! Most folks
- do SIDs now though.. more versatie.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Bruce, if on my machine, I have it answer the phone with a
- few bars off of a SID song, do i have to credit chamberin somehwere?
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Brad, have ya gotten a Stereo Cart yet?
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> The Stereo Cartridge is probably the most dramatic add on
- to a 64 for the money!
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> AHEM!!! what is the facial symbol (ie :) ) for smoking a
- acigarette? I know there is one casue I've seen it, but i don't remember
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Not only can you play all the stereo files, but also the
- 3 voice SIDs sound much better! :)
- <BRAD-HARRIS> I brought my boom box home from work, and have it hooked up to
- the Commodore.
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> In addition to having more channels....
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> you can also set it to DELAY the right channel...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> that causes a reverb effect. :)
- <BRAD-HARRIS> I like the cartridge too - even though I've soldered the
- occasional chip, I still get nervous whenever I need to do it.
- <C128-BILL> There ya go!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> :D
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Jeff.. StereoPlayer will call it automatically at DE00.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> can I call it indirectly? and what is an auto steno
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Jeff.. I don't know that the details to call the chip are
- available...
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> How did you get the Spanish exclamation point
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> The chips addition was designed by Mark Dickenson...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> ark wrote the StereoPlayer program to play it back....
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I'm not aware of him ever giving out the details of HOW to
- address the chip. :)
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Hmmm, cool
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> However yo add stereo, by adding the chip yourself...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> r by adding a cartridge...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I'll guarantee you won't regret it! :)
- <BRAD-HARRIS> I'll second that!
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Well, im afraid that i wont want to put much more cash
- into the 64... Im happy with my new laptop. The 64 id s just an answering
- machine
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Jeff, okay... but.. there is a musical world you are
- missing that would startle the average PC user! :D
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> In fact....
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> It offers two more voices than an Amiga! ;D
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> no kidding, it is a musical machine, i occasionally have
- interludes available on the mailbox
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Welcome to the Music RTC!
- <[shalom] T.SAVAGEAU1> thanks,
- <[Hank] H.MUDGE> Just eves dropping
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Well, eaves droppers MORE than welcome!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> We were talking about the advantages of adding a stereo
- cart for 3 more voices!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> The Commodore can make some pretty amazing music with 3
- voices...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Anyone who has downloaded the brilliant SIDs here on GEnie
- can attest to that..
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Not happy with CMD. Mailed a money order 3/26 but they
- haven't gotten it as of today :(
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> ut the addition of 3 more voices, really makes it amazing!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Tom.. have you called them up to find out if there is a
- problem?
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Called them this evening and they said they haven't seen the
- money order for the stereo cart :(
- <BRAD-HARRIS> and I don't know if controllers or I/O ports are onboard or not.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> I had the same problem with a ram-link
- <[Hank] H.MUDGE> Tom was it a Postal Money Order-- If so call your Post Office
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Tom... I'll call them tamer also and see if I can find
- out anything.. if they are backlogged or whatever, I'll EMAIL you if I
- learn anything.
- <BRAD-HARRIS> Ramlink was another story - they started taking orders on that
- long before they even began to make them.
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> OK Bruce
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Yeah I found that out upon delivery, about 2 months later...
- complete with 5 megs
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> (2 of which were free for the delay)
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> But you'll be happy when you DO get it Tom, if that is any
- consolation.
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I have found them to be very fair.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Yep, I thought so
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Patience was never my strong suit.
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> There hard drives are a bit costly thou... especially
- compared to 9090's
- <BRAD-HARRIS> Don't feel bad Jeff - I ordered mine last September, got it last
- month.
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Understood!:)
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> I am hoping to run classes here on how to make SIDs
- sometime...
- <[Hank {YR}] H.MUDGE> I think I will leave also
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Need to find a group of folks interested and then we'll
- give it a shot! :)
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Yea Jeff and hows the 1200 modem doing'?
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> Hey Tom! I need your address ASAP!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> The SID libraries here are filled with great music...
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Library 16 is for classical sids....
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> 17 is ROCK!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> and 18 is for general music types....
- <[Jeff] J.BURCHELL> thanks
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> there has been a little blurring of those lines.. so I'd
- suggest ya check out each of them....
- <R.KIRK7> Do I have to wait to send or can it take my comments anytime?
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Thought it was 10 like the others ... forgot :(
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> RK, just jump right in! :)
- <R.KIRK7> Is anyone using Wizard 64 and had a problem with it jumping out of
- itself?
- <C128-BILL> Re-boots back to Basic?
- <R.KIRK7> yes
- <C128-BILL> If your seeing that, then the new version will fix that problem.
- It did that when Wizard saw a special Control Code.
- <C128-BILL> The new version will be up soon, I hope! ;)
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> YAY!!! :D
- <C128-BILL> In Beta Test, now in fact!
- <R.KIRK7> when is the new version coming for the C-64
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> WIZARD is a terrific terminal.. with a few problems
- corrected it will be fantastic!
- <C128-BILL> As soon as it's out of beta, R.K.
- <R.KIRK7> I concur about Wizard. tonight is my first use of it-great
- <C128-BILL> Glad you like it.... for a 34 cent download cost at 2400 baud...
- ya can't beat the price!
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> RK, Welcome to Wizard! :D
- <[Tom] T.ADAMS18> Was crowded for awhile
- <[Bruce] WHOLE.NOTE> Down to the hard-core SID folks now! ;D
- <C128-BILL> Heh...
