MU-01: Ad Lib / Sound Blaster The music and programs in this section require either the Ad Lib or the Sound Blaster or compatible music cards. See Retail Products for Ad Lib compatible music cards from PsL, as well as other music cards and multimedia systems. The Ad Lib card comes with software for playing the ROL (music) files on these disks.

It has all the software you need to play ROL files, plus a sampling of ROL files to play. ------------------------ 7540/1967 AdLib Music #1 Small Programs Disk ------------------------ Music files: Stand by Me, Get Ready, Castle in the Clouds, Kokomo, The Entertainer, Manic Monday, Star Trek II theme, Good King Wenceslas, Cult of, Bungle in the Jungle, Cross-Eyed Mary, Bach's Variations of a Theme, Theme from Taxi, Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire, Brahms, I Dreamed a Dream, At the End of the Day, Modern Skyscrapers, Mull of Kintyre and others.

Features include control of all four channels, an oscilloscope that beats to the music, and ability to view PCX picture files when playing a MOD. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #3785 [15] -------------------------------- Sound Takessian, Alex $0 #2388 is primarily for playing music files from the Amiga, Mac and Atari through the IBM's internal speaker. It will also play Sound Blaster digitized files, and, we discovered, Sound Blaster will play most/all of these sound files after using SB's VOCHDR to put the proper header info on them. Sound files on other machines are used to liven up the system. Sounds clips on a Mac can actually be substituted for system beeps, so that instead of hearing "Beep" when you type something wrong, you can hear, for example, HAL saying "I'm sorry Dave; I just can't do that." Naturally, the PC's internal speaker is no match for the sound quality of the Sound Blaster, and a few of the files may not sound good at all on the PC. In those few cases, we left them on the disks because they sound good with Sound Blaster. In addition to the SOUND program, this disk (#2388) contains the following sound files: Belch-1, BigBuzz, Biscuit, GQ, MakMyDay, Morning, Scotty, and Yell. We have added several disks of sounds from our Mac library, and will add more in the future. ------------------- 7232/2389 Sounds #1 Small Programs Disk ------------------- Note: These sounds, which are mainly clips from movies and TV shows, can be played through the PC's speakers. Their main use is for livening up batch files. They can also be played through the Sound Blaster, which increases the quality of the sound many times over. ADisease, Ahem-2, Applause, BigThing, Boom, Chump, Command, Correct1, Correct2, Correct3, Disapptd, SeaSide, and Stooges. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #2389 -------------------------------- ------------------- 7232/2390 Sounds #2 Small Programs Disk ------------------- At-Pops, Do-Again, FallCrsh, FireBird, FireFite, FireTruk, GameOver, George, GoodJoke, HonkHonk, Illogicl, Impossbl and NickDngr. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #2390 -------------------------------- ------------------- 7232/2391 Sounds #3 Small Programs Disk ------------------- LemmeOut, LooksBad, Max1, MeepMeep, Monkey-2, Nee, NutCrakr, Nuthin, OhMy, and Precious.

Adding these sounds to your batch files can really bring your system to life. A sample batch file incorporating several of the files has been included. Programmers: add SoundBlaster-compatible support to your programs -- just shell to DOS and play these files. Sound clips are mostly from movies, but include things like a choral blast of "Halleluja!" and Steve Martin's "Excuuuuuse me!".

Sounds - Star Trek $0 #7586/3844 [4 disks] is a collection of digitized sounds from Star Trek movies and the old and new Star Trek TV shows. Included are such favorites as "Beam me up, Scotty" and the Star Trek theme music. Blaster Master 5.7 [BLASTER] 07-93 Maddox, Gary $30-$50 #3046 is a tool kit for working with raw, uncompressed Sound Blaster VOC files. You can blend two files into a single sample; reverse playback and play back a file at approximately half speed. It will also convert a VOC file into a self-playing EXE file.

An amusing animated drummer and keyboard player are displayed at the top of the screen. Several sample music files are included. While this will work in a limited capacity on a regular PC speaker, a Sound Blaster compatible card is highly recommended. Requires 512K RAM, EGA/VGA with at least 256K video memory, and a hard drive or high density floppy drive. Franck Organ Music Childs, Roy V. $0 #12280 is a collection of organ music in Ad Lib format. Keyboard Works of Sweelinck Childs, Roy V. $0 #7611-7612/3936 [5 disks] (MU-01) is a collection of 70 pieces of music from Baroque composer, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. This is a beautifully done set of organ arrangements on five disks. Instrument files are included. Requires an Ad Lib compatible card, such as the AD card, Thunderboard, Sound Blaster, PAS, etc. MIDI to AdLib Conversions Patch Panel Software $0 #3116 is a collection of 49 Ad Lib music files that have been converted from MIDI files. The set, which unarchives to over 800k, is almost entirely classical with some Christmas music. The arrangements are pretty extensive, for the most part, with several of the ROL files being over 50k, but the piano was the only instrument used (easily changed, for those with Visual Composer) and no volume variations are included - everything is at 1.0 all the way. A utility to convert MIDI-to-ROL is available from Patch Panel Software. Musician I DigiMus Ky $25-$50 #3117 allows you to write music for/with the Sound Blaster (or Ad Lib card, it appears) using a graphical notes-on-a-staff approach from either the computer keyboard or a MIDI keyboard through the Sound Blaster MIDI Connector Box or from a graphical keyboard that appears in a corner of the screen. The program's features are very impressive, but the documentation is sketchy. Also, the data files are not compatible with Ad Lib ROL format, so the two cannot be interchanged. Nevertheless, we highly recommend this program to SB/Ad Lib(?) owners. (The authors can no longer be reached at the address provided in the documentation.) Pachelbel Keyboard Works Childs, Roy V. $0 #7640/4026 [3 disks] contains many classical keyboard works of Johann Pachelbel in ROL format. Instrument files are also included, and the documentation contains some interesting historical information.

(Users of Ad Lib compatible cards may need the Ad Lib Compatible Start-Up Disk #9011.)
