The program creates 8 or 16 bit sample files |so you can use the sounds with existing Amiga music program, soon to be |released 16 bit sampling boards, or use the sounds with your sampling |keyboard. You can now create harmonicly rich sounds for your keyboard |without having to buy expensive hardware. | |EZ FM also creates multi octave sample in both 8SVX and Audio IFF sample |formats and even has a waveform examiner/animator. It emulates most of the |parameters used on the DX-7 except for the velocity parameters, but EZ FM |allows you to use waveforms other than sine waves during waveform calculations. | |All of this is controled by a next-like mouse driven interface which makes it |easy to use. | |The program is available directly from The Other Guys Software at |1-800-942-9402 for about $60.00 or it is available at certain software stores. Yea, verily, it's an interesting program - I bought a copy at a Boxing Day sale and am quite impressed! *Much* cheaper than a DX-7, and a much nicer user interface! I ran it multitasking with Sonix and the MindLight on an A1000 with exciting results... Note that sample calculation time is enhanced by a faster cpu, so trying out changes is more satisfying on a 68020 or 68030 box. Nice work, Other Guys... -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario a /i/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `\o\-e UUCP: ...!uunet!mnetor!becker!bdb _< /_ "Que es mas macho: Gorbachev, o Shevardnadze?" - lala
