AM/FM presents: The MED tutorial for beginners!
MED, by Teijo Kinnunen, has proven to be a very powerful program to create
music with (read this issue's article about MED v3.10!). But it's big - it
has a lot of functions, some of which are perhaps a bit hard to get the hang
of for the inexperienced lurking talents out there. Well, if you are one of
those who really would love to start composing, but you just can't handle the
new state-of-the-art music packages because they're just too darn complicated
- despair no more - AM/FM comes to your rescue!
Starting from next issue, we will publish a series of articles taking you
through MED, step by step, slowly, so everyone can follow it. Hopefully we
can help some talents to get started! And if we should move too fast for
you, or perhaps write something a bit unclear, you will be very welcome to
write to us and ask about specific problems with MED or any other tracker,
and we promise to try to help you the best we can. And if WE can't answer
you, we'll put your question forward to Mr. Kinnunen himself! That should
do the trick.
As mentioned, part 1 will be in the next issue of AM/FM. So in the meantime,
why don't you just load it up and have a look around. Don't be afraid to
play around with all the functions - you can't do much harm, other than
perhaps to your neighbours' beauty-sleep.
Here's the schedule for the tutorial - make sure you get all the parts (for
example by subscribing to AM/FM).
Part 1 :
The editor. Editing patterns and putting patterns together to
form a song. AM/FM Issue #2.
Part 2 :
Samples. Create your own sampled instruments and manipulate
them to fit your song. AM/FM Issue #3.
Part 3 :
The synthesizer. How to make Synthetic and Hybrid
instruments. AM/FM Issue #4.
Part 4 :
MIDI instruments. How to use MED to play your synthesizer(s).
AM/FM Issue #5.
Part 5 :
The effect commands. How to "produce" your music by
manipulating each note with the many effect commands that MED
offer. These commands are the secret behind that
"professional" sound! AM/FM issue #6.
Part 5 :
Some more advanced techniques and some music theory. AM/FM
Issue #7.
So hang in there! See you in AM/FM #2!
