I scrimp and save, rummage in the backs of Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets for food, drive to work on a skateboard, and it finally pays off: I get a Kurzweil Midiboard, a TX802, and assorted other "life-fulfilling" items. I already had an Amiga A1000. The last thing I need to be able to ride off into the rosy sunset on my white horse: MIDI software for the Amiga and patches for the 802. Sure, I like to tinker and make my own patches (I'd have to to buy an 802), but I don't have THAT much free time (I still have to work so I can keep up the payments on my skateboard). So, is there anyone out there who can... 1) Tell me about any sequencer/patch editor software for the Amiga. I have Mimetic's Pro Midi Studio, but it's kinda dated compared to other progs I've seen, although the patchboard front-end is PGC (Pretty Good Concept). 2) Exchange or otherwise introduce me to sources of patches for the 802. Something on the Amiga would be great, those loaded RAM carts ain't cheap, relatively speaking, and modding/creating sounds using the 802's display is like a vasectomy without anesthetic, if I may be so bold. I'll even happily use listed patches and program 'em in from the printed sheet. Of course, anyone is welcome to the ones I've created, if you like them. I know the idea for posting patch parameters for the DX7 was kicked around, how about for the 802? Thanks in advance for anything you dig up. If you ever need a lift, there will always be room on my skateboard (it's got A/C). __________________________________________________ | --------------------------------------------- |\ | Mail: ...moby!tjm | \ | Mouth: (201) 281-6287 | \ | Mood: Bemused | | | Tighe Murcaddo | | | (Tim Murphy) | | | | | | "Nothing sucks like Electrolux..." | | | -------------------------------------------- | | \------------------------------------------------\ | \ \ | \________________________________________________\| Disclaimer: It wasn't me!

to Tim Murphy: I use Dr. T's KCS with my Amiga 500. I have Sonix and DMCS. Since getting Dr. T's I have converted all of my scores and don't use Sonix anymore at all and DMCS very little (of the two DMCS is more powerful). The sequencer (DRr. T's) is extremely powerful. But, as you have learned there is no free lunch, you will have to take time to learn to use it. I highly recommend using the Dr. T's package. To me, MusicX is vaporware until *I* see it do something.

The new version of Texture is supposed to have been lowered to $150 and does not require any more the MPU-401 and Musicsoft interface, but can use aplain MIDI interface. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
