Well for those of you interested, I have written a program called
RxMed which uses the Medplayer.library to load and play Med modules
via ARexx. This is perfect for use with AmigaVision (and I have used
it exactly for that, as most SMUS files sound like trash).
I have also recently obtained a Soundtracker shared library, and this
will allow me to add the capability too (although it isn't done at the
moment).
Interested parties send mail to :
uunet!chopin!nick
NOTE: Use the above address, do NOT just reply to this mail, as it is
a different address.
And I'll send you a version of it.

Well in theory the execute should work but I get a system error with Med2.13 which is disappointing. I execute an AREXX script called startmusic which triggers MED. My intention then is to stop the music with another AREXX script called... stopmusic. Unfortunately startmusic which works fine from the CLI blows up fairly spectacularly from the execute command in Amigavision.

Well it turns out it only took a few minutes to add the SoundTracker capability to RxMed, and now RxMed can play SoundTracker modules as well via ARexx. I've changed the name to RxTracker now (since that's what I wanted to call it in the first place, but at the time it didn't play tracker modules). Again, if anybody wants this (since posting it to the binaries or sources groups wouldn't do much good), send mail to : uunet!chopin!nick OR chopin!nick@uunet.uu.net --dominic

Unless he has a different version of Amigavision to mine (1.53G) I dont quite see how. When I try to load a MED song Amigavision complains that the song is not of SMUS format. Is there something which I am missing here?

Can someone tell me what MED does? Does it allow you to enter notes (from sheet music for example) and play those notes back via the Amiga sound chip? Paul Bidwell email: p.l.bidwell@att.com

I was talking about SMUS-files, not the one from MED (BTW: What is it?)

I know I got in on this one late but: Couldn't you play your MED song with an external MED-player via the CLI-command from within Amigavision (I thonk that was what started this)?

Apologies for misconstruing your message otto. MED is an excellent pd music editing system which is Sound/NoiseTracker compatible. In its current incarnation it supports MIDI (up to 16 channels) as well as internal amiga sounds. The software has too many useful editing features to begin to list and much control over effects and dynamics. It is very reliable and is well documented. As yet I have seen few compositions which take advantage of its full capabilities. Soft-synth and lunawaves on /incoming/amiga - ab20.larc.nasa.gov give it a good run for its money. I got my copy on a cover disk with Amiga Computing magazine. The best $5 or so I have spent so far!
