short: XG Music-X Sequence (0) and Performance (1) Files
author: Yamaha Corporation/Edited by MIDICraft
uploader: craftbro@midicraft.demon.co.uk
type: mus/midi
file name: XGDEMMX1.lha
requirements: Any GM/GS compatible synth and Music-X V1.1 or V2.0
Long: Yamaha XG DEMO Standard MIDI Files (SMF) both file formats 0 and
1 converted to Music-X Sequence file format 0 and Music-X Performance
file format 1.
All files have been edited to be General MIDI (GM) Standard compatible
and contain SYSEX data for GM On together with the correct Contollers
and PGM parameters for the Roland GM Standard.. These were edited
using Music-X V2.0 on an Amiga 2000HD, 5Mb RAM, 540Mb SCSI internal HD
and 730Mb external SCSI HD and then saved to disk in Music-X's own
Sequencer file formats.. A Korg i3 Interactive Music Workstation was
used for sequencing/re-configuring of GM parameters within each Music-X
file.. Therefore, the XG setup within each file has been removed and
General MIDI (GM) specific parameters has been implemented!
Both file formats ie. Music-X files have been archived using LHA.
** Music-X Songs **
1. Bird of Paradise by Snowy White (was guitarist in Thin Lizzy)
2. Gat Kirwani (cool Indian peice with excellent percussion)
3. Swamp Thing by The Grid
4. Topsy (Jazz number)
The Music-X files here represent the edited GM/GS versions which
accompany the originals in the XGDEMMX0.lha and XGDEMMX0.readme
archive. Therefore, the Music-X files in this XGDEMMX1.lha archive
should play correctly on any GM/GS synths..
All copyright notices for Yamaha have been respected (the Music-X
files, didn`t have a (c) notice actually because they were converted
from SMFs but I`ve embedded a copyright (c) notice in each of the
Music-X 1 files anyway)! That way you know who originally produced
the files and that they were probably demo files accompanying
a Yamaha manufactured synthersizer with XG MIDI facilities..
Making these Music-X files available on the NET is not an
infringment of copyright but simply a means of making these files
available to a wider audience so other MIDI freaks can appreciate the
professional quality of these MIDI arrangements..
If you`d like to play these edited GM/GS versions then you can
use MIDI Performance Manager (MPM) by Andreas Jung (which plays both
SMFs and Music-X Performance files) and this can be located on the
German published "Meeting Pearls III" CD-ROM available from all good
vendors.. If you've got Music-X V1.1 or even better, V2.0, then no
problem, you've got probably the best sequencer available on the Amiga
platform and the songs in this archive will load and play from within
Music-X.. All you need is a GM/GS synth with 32 note polyphony and
you're away..

Please feel free to e-mail me for information and help regarding MIDI
on the Amiga, about the MIDICraft Magazine or just to let me know if
your like these GM/GS Music-X files.. I`ll probably upload some
more good Amiga Music-X/MIDI stuff on Aminet shortly, so look out for
these files..
I`m a Music-X/SMF expert with my own recording studio using Amigas
(A2000. A1200 and a A500+), I`ve also had an audio CD called "A Drop
in the Ocean" released with my co-composer brother, where all music
was sequenced using Amigas.. Some Amiga musicians/MIDI freaks on the
NET may remember me from the AM/FM magazine which was published on
floppy disk by Bjørn Lynne (Dr. Awesome) a couple of years ago. I
used to write arcticles and produce MIDI music for AM/FM as one of
The Craft Brothers.. I've taken AM/FM over and now publish a
similar music based disk magazine called MIDICraft Magazine and I'm
onto issue #11 already.. I'm been a ßeta tester for OctaMED and I'm
also on the OctaMED Web site if you're interested at :-)
