Has anyone made or is there available a soundtransferprotocol for
Music-X (on amiga) and Roland D-10 ?
I tried to make my own, but I didn't succeed at all...
(I'm not very familiar with SYSEX-commands)
OR are there available a sound-editor/librarian for amiga and D-10 ?
(If there is one where can I find it ?)
P.S. What is the BEST (in your opinion) sequencer for Amiga ?

In the midilib2 package there is an amiga basic librarian for casio CZ synths, and just the other day I was looking at a C voice editor for the DS55 Yamaha synth called VcEd by Charles Brand. He is willing to send source for a shareware contribution of $10. I have hade success in transfering SysX voice data using the MIDISTUFF MIDIdump program. This will handle your SysX voice data but you must manage what is in the SysX (in the M1 that is usually all voices at once. But I haven't played with my new M1 enough yet) >P.S.

One person I called at a computer store told me to stay away from the more expensive Dr. T stufff, but I don't trust that advice. MidiQuest looks like the best editor/librarian, and I had pretty much decided that Dr. T's KCS and Copyist were the best for me.

I've seen Steinberg's Pro24 on an Amiga fair here in Germany some weeks ago, and it looked VERY GOOD...although they decided to use a dongle with it. But one more thing about Music-X : In my version it's not possible to set notes with a duration >1 measure ... is this corrected in V1.1 ?? (This was particularly bad when I tried to adapt some slow Phil Collins stuff; in his songs he often uses LONG bass notes, which sounds quite bad if you have to start over the bass every measure...:( Enlighten me, Frank -- + Frank Neumann, Hauptstr. 107, 2900 Oldenburg, FRG The Amiga is it. + + Frank.Neumann@arbi.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de InHouse: amigo@faramir + + Zerberus: neumann@uniol.zer BitNet:295391@DOLUNI1.BITNET IRC: Franky +

Alternatively, there is a program called 4D Companion available from a British software house which is a patch editor & librarian for the Roland D series of synths (D5, D10, D20, D110). It didn't multitask properly with a friends copy of Music X when I tried it, but I've since heard that Music X is being updated to correct a bug in their MIDI code which affected applications which tried to use the serial port while Music X was suspended. I haven't used a GR50 (though I wouldn't mind getting one) but I have heard that some of the parameters differ from the D range of synths. The company is called Gajits (phone [UK] 061 434 2768) I can 38 find their address if anyone wants it. They also do a similar program for the CM range of modules. They don't have a US distributor at the moment so you would have to get it directly from them (they do direct mail order). PS I should mention that I am heavily biased as I wrote the Amiga versions of these programs.
