MIDICraft Magazine
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 in Norway,
called 'Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine (AM/FM)' has due to other
commitments, decided to cease publishing after 19 issues! 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 will be 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 (Feb 1995), 3 MIDICraft Magazine issues, 3 MIDICraft
Sample disks and 1 MIDICraft Special disk (Look out for these at
your previous distribution library in your country!) 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 format. MIDI and Music-X software and the
new Notator-X data formats will continue being featured in the magazine in
most sections including FREE Music-X and 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 are also be provided and are being be produced as before but
with an emphasis on the users need!
Special disks are again be published and may cover anything from
readers Modules, to Professional MIDI files and or really useful Amiga
music utilities!
Initially Seasoft Computing, Valley PD, 17 BIT and Sleepy Hollow
Software in the U.K. have agreed to distribute the MIDICraft
Magazine.. Overseas distributors for the MIDICraft Magazine are being
sought! If you run an Amiga PD Software library and would like to
become MIDICraft Magazine distributors then please get in touch.. The
MIDICraft Magazine can also be obtained from MIDICraft ourselves.. The
examples MIDICraft Magazine issue #1, MIDICraft Sample disk #1 and
MIDICraft Special Disk #1 can be found on the Weird Science Multi Media
Tool Kit #2 CD ROM.. (Full documentation about the Magazine, Sample

Science Multi Media Tool Kit #2 CD ROM!)

experience a forum where information and help will be combined with the
latest reviews and news for those making music or for those who just like
listening to music then look out for the new MIDICraft Magazine.
