Is there source code available for a PD player that will play a file saved
from any of the popular GS music programs? Any commercial or PD composition
program format is fine as long as it will handle at least 2 voices.
Alternately, can someone give me a pointer to some code that uses the note
sequencer?

I have never heard of source code being available. But I have heard that
there is something called JukeBox that would play Music Studio pieces. There
was source I believe for a NDA which played files of a certain format - the
author was Guy Rice I seem to remember and the program was probably called
Background Music NDA or something to that effect. Then there are programs
like SoundStudio which play certain types of sound files and programs like
ACER which deal with the compressed sound files. I have just recently heard
of an awesome program called SongSmith which supposedly does quite a nice job
of allowing music creation and playing. What other non-commercial sound and
music programs do folks know of?

The program is actually called SoundSmith. It is awsome. It is a shareware program for $20 to the author who lives in Spain. > -- > Larry W.

Just because software is freely distributed (whether freeware or shareware,
but ESPECIALLY the latter), the author does NOT reliquish the 'rights' part
of copyright. Glen Bredon to name one conspicuous example, doesn't permit
his software to be posted on BBS's everywhere, so please be sure to honor
any limits imposed on SoundSmith (comp.binaries.apple2 and APPLE2-L retain
the return address of program posters).

I just posted SoundSmith 0.7 to comp.binaries.apple2. I suggest those who can take a look at it. It doesn't seem to run on Rom 3 however. To whomever was concerned, the author of SoundSmith didn't indicate that SoundSmith couldn't be distributed freely in his about. Jeff jeffn@nuchat.sccsi.com jeffn@nuchat.UUCP ...uunet!nuchat!jeffn

There is also a pretty little SHR program on Softdisk GS vol 1 and Vol 2
called Jukebox which plays Music Studio 2.0 files.

Just to pick nits, I was under the impression that if it couldn't be distributed freely, it wasn't shareware. After all, if shareware isn't shared, what's the point? Not that the author is obligated to distribute anything at all to anyone, at any price, ever, of course. > Glen Bredon to name one conspicuous example, doesn't permit >his software to be posted on BBS's everywhere, so please be sure to honor >any limits imposed on SoundSmith (comp.binaries.apple2 and APPLE2-L retain >the return address of program posters). True. However, I've never heard of his software correctly described as shareware, and he specifically states that it _isn't_. >/s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] > or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] > + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.) Kevin Lepard Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet Disclaimer: These opinions do not necessarily represent those of Albion College.

Chris, I tried to send you mail to find out where you got Quicksound from so I could download it as well, but got this message from my mailer: 050 <qig@mentor.cc.purdue.edu>... Connecting to mentor.cc.purdue.edu.tcp... 550 <qig@mentor.cc.purdue.edu>... Host unknown >>> QUIT I am on the internet. How do I get to you? Is this program shareware or freeware?

Murph, SoundSmith is shareware ... but this bring up a very good point. Just what is the legal status of anything posted to the network? I was reading a reply by someone in comp.sys.amiga who had gotten the opinion of a copyright lawyer that anything posted on usenet for the use of others automatically forfeited his/her copyright since their software would end up on 30,000 machines (or so). I'm kind of interested in what is said, because if this is so, I won't be posting ShrinkIt 3.0 or GS/ShrinkIt to comp.binaries.apple2 if I forfeit the copyright to the program (hope you can understand why). andy

The article was (naturally) about copyrignted material. I would repost the article, but, the article carried a copyright notice, and said that the author does NOT grant permission for any to repost, or do anything other than read it on a terminal (funny thing though, the terminal I happened to be using to read it was hardcopy terminal (ie: terminal with printer instead of CRT - HOWEVER, I destroyed the terminal listing in an effort (possibly futile) to limit any violation I might have (inadvertently) made) Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the author. In any case, if you have a question, ask your lawyer - if (s)he doesn't know the answer, at least (s)he'll tell you who to ask. BUT, based on the aboved mentioned article, distributing your copyrighted matterial for free shouldn't negate the copyright - of course, shareware isn't exactly free.......

Hmmm, distributing your software, via whatever medium, doesn't negate copyrights, that's assuming you've done "Copyright Me 1990" as opposed to "(C) Me 1990"... I've read someplace that the (C) DOES NOT stand for a "circle-c" as in copyright, so it has to be spelled out. Can't say if I've seen a court case where they've had this discussed, can't say I'd like to see it happen... enough nonsense already going on. --Chan ................
