Hi y'all,
I'm an aussie Beeb owner who's looking for users of the
Hybrid Music 5000 System.
I bought a Music 500 in '86 and upgraded to the Music 5000 s/w
in '88. Last year I bought the Music 2000 MIDI Interface and a Roland
D110 to go with it, sounds great!
Don't do any 'composing' with it though, mainly just transcribing
sheet music or mucking around with AMPLINEX user group discs (which are
excellent).
I'm also interested in Beeb graphics (ACORN USER actually put some
of my piccy's on some of their 'monthly discs'). Just finished writing a
PPM to Beeb converter (PPM - Portable Pix-Map, from the PBMPLUS package),
which basically means I can now display any graphics files on the Beeb
(even GIF's), the pictures are displayed in Mode2 using an 8 colour dither.
If there's any interest I'll post the C source to this group - there are
two programs on written in C to convert the image, and another in BBC BASIC
to display the 'converted' file on the Beeb.

NOTE: At the mo' I can't post from my site, so I'm borrowing another guys'
login on our other campuses system - which can post. If you want to
reply to me it's probably best to post to this group, since our
email is also stuffed! If you want to try to mail to me either mail
to 'ian@ob1.uws.edu.au' (put 'for A.Leahy' in subject line) OR
try mailing directly to me at 'a.leahy@nepean.uws.edu.au' (no
guarentees it'll work though!)
email is stuffed also!justin@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au (Justin Ridge) (01/11/91)
I'm not a Music 5000 owner, but I'm considering it. Does anyone out there know where I can get Music 5000, and how much it costs? Drop me a line: Justin, justin@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au Thanks.

I am not sure if you can still get them these days. Peartree were selling them off at 30 pounds a year or so ago, you may like to contact them (if they still exist?). Otherwise contact Hybrid Technology. The last address I have for them is Unit 3, Robert Davies Cort, Nuffield Road, Cambridge CB4 1TP, England +44 223 316910. That was 1989 so they may have shifted since then. At that time they were selling the Music 5000 and software for 140 pounds. The price has probably gone down since then. At that time, the software upgrade from M500 to M5000 was 86 pounds. I have a music 500 with the 5000 software lying around here somewhere, certainly worth it but if you are not into writing music then it is a little expensive. -- Patrick Cain, Private Box 2060, Wellington, New Zealand.
