I'm going to buy either an Ad-Lib, or an Innovation. Would somebody please send me E-Mail about the two systems? Address:torchins@iubacs.silver.edu Please also send me a phone number for Ad-Lib as well. You don't have to, but it would be greatly respected. Not kiss you're feet, but thanx I owe ya one. And if you've seen another system just as good, or better, at the same price, scoring off the market, please tell me.

I have had an Ad-Lib on order now for 3 weeks, and it seems there is a supply problem. So the telephone number of the manufacturer might come in handy. Also since I have not actually made the purchase yet, I would like to know which of the music boards are the best supported. I'm looking for an internal board that has on board music generation, not a MIDI Interface. I have seen a bunch of games for example that support the Ad-Lib (probably why I ordered it, best visibly supported) I would like to be able to have tools availible that let me program for it as well. It would be nice for any respondents to send to this newsgroup, I think there is enough interest. Thanks Much Mark Copple Independence Technologies (415) 438-2028

It works good with Sierra games, but I was mainly interested in the composition aspects. They are soon adding musical notation output and voice synthesis. I received un upgrade once, bit these latest additions may be extra. I don't have their phone number any more, they had an 800 number. Their home office is in Quebec, Canada, and they also have an office in Boston, MA. Directory assistance may help. Herman Silbiger batavier!hrs@att.ATT.COM

I'm looking for >an internal board that has on board music generation, not a MIDI Interface. Sierra Online will sell you a Roland MT32 and the necessary MIDI card to use it for $550. This is basically cost. While the MT32 is more expensive than the Adlib, it is far superior to it and well worth the extra money. The Innovation card is nothing more than the music chip from a C64 and cost more than the C64! Sierra supports the MT32 on all their new adventure games. Electronic Arts will do so with their future games. While Adlib is actively pushing their card on game manufacturers, the MT32 is also gaining acceptance despite total disinterest by Roland among game companies due to its superior sound.
