Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: AM/FM Welcome to the MUSIC section of this issue's AM/FM? As usual, we start off with some general info about the music section. If you've read this before in previous AM/FM issues, just skip a couple of pages down. How to use the menu — First, some general info about how things work around here. You pick a song from the menu the song will load, decrunch and play. When the drive light goes out, and there's still no music, just hang in there for a little while longer, because the player program is now decrunching the song before it starts playing it. This can take some 2-10 seconds, depending on the size of the song, so just have little patience. Second, there's nothing really stopping you from running a song while another one is already playing, but I wouldn't recommend this, because the sound will be an awful mess. So before you choose another song to listen to, make sure you stop the one that's already playing, by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously, anywhere on the screen will do fine. YOUR music on the next issue of AM/FM? The music brought to you through AM/FM will always be new, fresh, never earlier released material (except in very special cases). The composers are mainly the musicians working with AM/FM, showing off some of the newest techniques and a whole lot of creativity to create what we like to think of as some of the best Amiga-produced music around. In addition to our "regular" Som contributors, anyone who feels like having their music in the hottest music magazine around should send it to us should send it to us - and if we think it's good enough, we will publish it in the next issue of AM/FM, and of course you will get your disk back with that issue on it. Having said that, keep in mind that the people who are running this magazine aren't millionaires, so please include return postage, or else we cannot guarantee that you will get your disk(s) back. If sufficient return postage is included, you will get everything you send to us sent back and that's a PROMISE. So before you send anything to us, go to the post office and ask for international reply coupons, and include them in your letters. Ok, that was the general smalltalk, and now that it's out of the way, let's get into the music on this issue's AM/FM: AM/FM Song IV (short version) General information: Sascha Graune and Andre Meyer about 134 All working done by: Length in kbytes: Playing-time: Samples taken from: 4:52 minutes Roland JX1 Synthesizer Korg Wavestation EX Synthesizer Zero-G Datafile III Sampling-CD The X-Static Goldmine Sampling-CD The actual length of "Song IV" was originally about 234 kbytes, but this was too longáfor AM/FM, as there would not have been enough disk-space for other songs to be included. So I cut the samples and even deleted several ones. In the original 234 kbytes tune many speech-samples and effects were included which had – unfortunately - to be deleted. If you want to contact me (Andre) for any reason or Sascha particularly for exchanging Korg 01/ sounds, take a look on the advertisement-section of this fantastic magazine (Bjºrn, you are the best! hehe) where you will find our addresses. By the way, you are allowed to take a look on this song to see the techniques... or rather: it is desirable! AM/FM
