AM/FM (Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine) is a disk-based magazine especially made for everyone who has an Amiga and is interested in music. Whether you're into composing music, collecting music, arranging music, studying music, or even if you just like listening to good music, then AM/FM has lots to offer you. Each issue of AM/FM consists of two disks: The Magazine Disk, and the Sample Disk. They are always released together, but if you want to buy AM/FM, you don't have to buy both disks - you can choose just one of them if you prefer that. The AM/FM Magazine Disk contains music, articles, music utilities, news, reviews, MIDI music, tutorials, hints & tips, tech-corners, and everything about music in general. Everything is nicely laid out with a menu and running with system-friendly routines, so that the magazine won't crash your computer, and so that you can easily take out the files and examine them and/or copy them to other disks etc. The AM/FM menu system was programmed by Teijo Kinnunen, the author of MED and OctaMED. The AM/FM Sample Disk is filled up with new and fresh superb quality sound samples for use in any music editor or sound sampling package. The AM/FM production staff has access to the very best in synthesizers and sampling CD's etc. A special group of instruments, or a special synthesizer is the "theme" of each AM/FM sample disk. For example, AM/FM Sample Disk #2 contains orchestral winds sounds, #3 contains Death & Horror sound effects, #6 contains only sounds from the Korg Wavestation, etc. 2) FINANCIAL SITUATION OF AM/FM AM/FM is not being produced for financial gain, but simply for pleasure and interest. The magazine is being distributed by the AM/FM production staff themselves, and by selected PD distributors who support our work. When a PD distributor sells an AM/FM disk, a small part of the price for this disk is given to the production staff, so that they can continue producing the magazine without losing any money on it. If the production staff should gain more money than they have spent on AM/FM, and they get a profit, then this money will be used to pay programmers and musicians to produce high quality material for use in AM/FM. So whatever money is gained on AM/FM, is put back into the magazine, to create an even better product. 3) HOW OFTEN IS AM/FM RELEASED AM/FM does not follow specific release dates. Rather than rushing towards a date, we prefer waiting until we have enough good material to release a good product. In other words, we will collect quality material until a disk is 100% full, and then we release it. 6 issues have been released within a little under a year, so there has been about 6-8 weeks between each issue so far. This may vary, but it will never take longer than 10-11 weeks, we promise. 4) COPYRIGHT / COPYING / SELLING AM/FM You are allowed to copy AM/FM to your friends. But you are not allowed to take any money for it, not even a small fee to cover for the disk and postage. You may not take one single penny for it. AM/FM is Freeware and may only be copied For Free. If you take any money at all for it, it will be regarded as selling the magazine, and then you must fulfill the royalty demand from the production staff, and send a royalty of 1 UK POUND for each AM/FM disk you sell. Before doing this, you must become an "AM/FM Dealer". (More on that below). 5) WHERE/HOW CAN I GET AM/FM ? You can either buy AM/FM directly from the AM/FM production staff, or from any AM/FM Dealer. If you buy it directly from AM/FM, it will be a bit more expensive, but you will also receive it as soon as it's released. It takes a few days or weeks before it is available from the Dealers. Also, if you buy many disks at a time, the price will be about the same if you buy it directly from AM/FM, because if you buy it from AM/FM, it will get cheaper, the more disks you buy. You can also subscribe to future issues, if you buy directly from AM/FM. As far as we know, no AM/FM dealers offer this possibility. If you want to buy AM/FM disks directly from the AM/FM staff, or if you wish to subscribe to future issues of AM/FM, please refer to the AM/FM Catalogue which is another article on this disk. That file contains all the necessary information on how to order, prices, etc. etc. 6) HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO FUTURE ISSUES OF AM/FM Making sure you get your future issues of AM/FM as soon as they are released is very simple. Just send us your order and tell us which issues you are paying for. You will be entered into a database, and when the new issues are released, you will receive them immediately. Say, for example, that you want to buy the first 10 issues of AM/FM, with both the Magazine Disks and the Sample Disks. That's 20 disks total. Simply send money for 20 disks, and write in your order: "I WANT AM/FM MAGAZINE DISKS 1-10 AND AM/FM SAMPLE DISKS 1-10". Then, you will immediately receive the disks that have already been released, whereas the future disks will be sent to you as soon as they are released. 7) AM/FM DEALERS (WANTED!) The AM/FM production staff is still looking for more AM/FM Dealers in all European countries and USA. If you are running a PD company, or if you are thinking of starting one, or if you would just like make a little extra money bydistributing AM/FM, then feel free to get in touch and become an AM/FM Dealer. If you want to sell AM/FM disks, then each disk you sell must have an original AM/FM disk label on it. These labels can be bought from the AM/FM production staff, at 1 UK POUND each. If you sell an AM/FM disk without an original AM/FM disk label, then you are violating the AM/FM copyright and you will get in trouble with all the registered AM/FM Dealers and the AM/FM Prouction Staff. So you must first buy disk-labels from AM/FM, and then you can sell as many disks as you have labels for. Then you buy more labels, and so on. You can choose whatever price you want to sell the AM/FM disks for. As long as we get our 1 GBP per disk sold, we will not interfere with how you sell it, price it or market it. As long as you buy a minimum of 10 disk labels each month (anyone can sell 10 disks ત month), you will have status as an AM/FM Dealer, and you will automatically receive all AM/FM disks as soon as they are released. If you want to become an AM/FM Dealer, we would love to hear from you. Send your order for original AM/FM disk labels (1 GBP each) to: AM/FM c/o Bjorn A. Lynne Schleppegrellsgt. 10 0556 Oslo NORWAY Along with your order, send a cheque made out to BJORN A. LYNNE, or transfer the amount to our Norwegian Post Giro account number 0824 681472. Once the cheque has been validated, you will receive the first batch of original AM/FM disk labels. You will of course also need to get all the back These will be sent to you free of charge, but please include blank disks to copy them on, so it doesn't get so darn expensive for us. (You have no idea what blank disks cost in Norway (and no, we will not accept payment in issues. blank disks)). AM/FM
