OCR: AM/FM (EIGHTY-NINE) SYNTH-PROTOCOLS FOR MUSIC-X Most of you probably think this is some sort of sick joke; but no- this is just AM/FM doing it's best to please it's readers again. Never before has such a magnificent collection of Music-X Synth Protocols been wrapped together; an incredible 89 protocols on the same disk. Legal stuff Let's get this out of the way first: These protocols have been collected from various sources, and are NOT programmed by the AM/FM tean. Instead, we have compiled those that we found were "freely distributable". Neither we here at AM/FM _or_ the programmers of these protocols are in ANY way responsible for ANY loss of data fron your synths. Fiddling with SysEx transmission can easily cause loss of synth sounds, patches and sequencer data, so please be careful using these protocols - and if the worst thing happens - we are You are using then at your own risk. when mot to blane. What are they for?? For those of you who aren't sure of what a "Music-X Synth Protocol" is, and what it's for, I will try to explain... Music-X is a popular MIDI music software package for the Amiga (I'm sure you all knew that!), but in addition to being a sequencer, Music-X also has a lot of extra features making it a complete MIDI workstation package, not just a sequencer For example, Music-X can work as a storage center for your synthesizer sounds. You can also store the sounds together with each songs, so that when you load a MIDI-song from your disk, all the correct sounds for your synths are also stored in that file together with the song and all you have to do is to send these sounds as MIDI SysEx data to your synth - and they will be perfectly set up to play the song you're about to play. The storage and transmission of synth sounds to and from Music-X is done in the Music-X "Librarian" page. But because each synthesizer uses a different "SysEx language", Music-X needs to know how to communicate with each synth. And this is where these "Protocols" come in. Music-X can't communicate with your synth, unless you have the correct "protocol" for the synthesizer in question. Once you have the correct protocol for your synth, you can load this into Music-X, and Music-X will be ready to receive sounds from your synth - or send them back out. If any synth sounds are are stored in the "Librarian" page, you can choose to save these sounds with your "Performance", when you save the song. Just tick the Librarian option when you save your Performance. Ok, that was some background info - now onto how to use the protocols... How to unpack and use the protocols First of all, the Protocols are stored in the "Utilities" directory of this disk, and they are heavily compressed in a compression-format called LHA. They are also made in a so called "Self Extracting" file, so that it will be easier for you to decompress and use the protocols. In the "Using AM/FM" article on the main menu, you will find a quite detailed way to handle Self-extracting, LHA-compressed packages, but here's a quick version. Open a Shell or CLI and type everything that's in bold: 1. Format a new disk Format drive DF1: NAME Protocols 2. CD your way to this disk. CD Protocols: 3. RUN the file "Protocols.run" in the Utilities directory on this AM/FM-disk AMFM13:Utilities/Protocols.run 4. Watch as the protocols extract from the LHA-file- directories etc. will also be created automatically. This will take a couple of minutes or so. 5. Your disk nou contains all the protocols in their respective directories etc. List of protocols: Ok, enough smalltalk - here's a complete list of the protocols in the package. Enjoy!
