I am interested in finding out what others have done with the audio capabilities of the Amiga. I have an Amiga 2000, and a professor who teaches a musical acousitcs course wanting to "modernize" his techniques of presentation in the classroom. I am particularly interested in any C code or BASIC code that has been put together to create sound on the AMY. I don't have a shopping list for what it means to modernize, but I do know that he would like to demonstrate the synthesis of complex waveforms. Related to this topic is what can you do with Sonix and DMCII? Are they just for entering in musical scores? Please keep all response in the form of E-Mail. If I receive enough I will post a summary. Thanks, Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu

Sonix and DMCS are both scoring programs. Sonix is the lesser of the two, but offers better samples sound handling. It does allow some rudimentary synthesis - offering similar controls of an analog synth. DMCS is strictly for scoring. An interesting program that demonstrates the synthesis of sounds for various type of instruments (ie string, percussion, etc) is Synthis from The Other Guys (I think). I'm not sure if it's still around, but it s very versatile. Brian T. Yamanaka University of Illinois student

I just saw an add and noticed that across the print in big letters it stated "Now Shipping". I bought a copy a year ago and it was "Now Shipping" then also. -- "Better graphics with crayons" Michael Figg DLA Systems Automation Center Columbus, Oh. (614)-238-9036
