I have just received a copy of MED 3.0 and I think it is the best prog out
. I was just wondering if anyone knows if Teijo Kinnunen has an address that he
can be reached on the networks. I thought I saw a previous post with mention to
it but I couldnt find it. I was just wondering because I thought EMail might be
just a bit faster.

I've also seen several other people asking about it. So, tell me, where can I obtain MED 3.0? Is it public domain? Freeware? Shareware? Commercial? Any information will be appreciated. -- Frank McPherson INTERNET: emcphers@fox.cs.vt.edu --

Some more thoughts on MED3.0. Firstly, may I say I think it's an incredible product, and having such sophisticated and robust software available in the public domain is one of the Amiga's big selling points. Teijo Kinnunen has supported the product and listened to what people want/need, and that's more than most commercial companies do for their users. OK, grovelling over, there are a few criticisms! Firstly, one thing that would be nice to do is to load/save a range of blocks or tracks rather than the whole song. For example, if you have two pieces that you realise would sound pretty good together, then you've got to type in the second part all over again. On a similar tack, how about a printout routine for listing your songs? I must say that I preferred the old title bar - the timer's nice, it should stay, but I think that 3.0 doesn't look quite as snappy as previous versions (also due to the more easily readable but rather uglier main menu). I'm not sure that the horizontal scrolling song list works all that well. It's hard to see what's going on most of the time. Finally, the documentation doesn't say what hardware you need to use the sampling features. It would be nice to know what device it uses (PAR:, SER:, NIL: ??? :-)) Thoughts? -- # J.Gold | mapjilg@uk.ac.bath.gdr # # University of Bath , UK | jilg@uk.ac.bath.maths # # The more improbable an event is, the more likely it is to happen :-) #

Having only just started to use the amiga for music and graphics
instead of non-stop games.I would like to know any good music programs
for beginners ones that are not to complex.I have heard that MED 3.0
is very good,I came across the earlier version given with Amiga Format
and found that easy to use.So can someone mail me the address of a
good cheap public domain distibutor were i can get this and some other
good PD utilities.
Cheers

I keep a up to date list of FILES.Z from all of abcfd20 so I can just grep for stuff. You can find FILES.Z on abcfd20 in /FILES.Z ... Med 3.0 Really is very excellent.

MED 3.0 is very UGLY. I have used couple of years Soun/Noise and now the Protracker, and even the first version of ST wasn't so ugly. Why don't you help this coder and give him some graphics. Even the program would be very good, I can't use if it looks like a ... I haven't seen any European musician, who would use this MED. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Matti Joutkoski, mattij@yj.data.nokia.fi, tel. + 358-0-5673866. ---------------------------------------------------------------

No matter how nice the graphics of all those Soundtrackers, Noisetrackers, Startreckers, Whizzy-Dizzy-Trackers might ever be, there is absolutely no point in using such system-unfriendly programs on an AMIGA. I used the Soundtracker quite a while back in 1987, when it first appeared here in Germany, but then I had only 512k back in those old days, and I couldn't have cared less about system-friendlyness and multitaskability, with no RAM left to spare. Now I have lots of RAM, lots of harddisk-space, am running system 2.0 even on my beloved old 1000 - why even bother with those braindead non-multitasking ancient soundtrackers and their clones ? MED 3.0 is the only music program I use at the moment. JamCracker Pro looked also nice (it is using the req.library), but it didn't work under 2.0, so I don't use it. Period. And that goes also for all those music programs that don't multitask. Period again. Please stop flaming this great MED just because it hasn't got nifty graphics. And if you want them so urgent: Draw them yourself. Send them to Teijo. But stop complaining about a program you got for free. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz | holgerl@amiux.uucp Kl.
