[net.micro.amiga] Deluxe Music Construction Set

jxc@rayssd.UUCP (Jeffrey J. Clesius) (06/19/86)

Has anyone heard of a prospective delivery date for the Deluxe Music
Construction Set (DMCS) for the Amiga from Electronic Arts, or have any
information about the already available Music Studio (MS) from Activision?

I am hoping to interface MIDI keyboards and a rhythm box and use the Amiga
as a sequencer.  I am leaning toward DMCS because it supports 32 voices and
the 4 Amiga DMA channels, while the MS package only supports 16 voices.

Has anyone seen either package demonstrated or in beta form?  If the
data files are both in IFF format, then I could purchase the Activision
package now, to get started, and migrate the files to DMCS later.

Many thanks to anyone who can help...

I haven't seen Deluxe Music Construction Set, but I have
seen EA's Instant Music, and it's really nice for a music
doodle program.  Very fun and very easy to use.  RJ
