[comp.sys.amiga.audio] Music Packages and AmigaDos 2.x

lewism@lewism.UUCP (Mike Lewis) (03/30/91)

I expect these queries have been answered before, but any comments will be
welcome.  When I was running KS 36.xx on my A3000 I had the following
problems.

1. Sonix would not run at all.
2. Dr T KCS 1.6a would not run.
3. DMCS ran a bit but tends to get guru #80000004.
4. Music-X 1.1 ran for a while, but then you lost control. All the gadgets
   and menus become inoperative.
	 
Now I have just retried all these with KS 37.74, WB 37.33 and find on a
quick test.

1. Sonix seems to operate OK.
2. Dr T KCS 1.6a works.
3. DMCS still gurus #80000004. (Try selecting MIDI ACTIVE twice).
4. Music-X 1.1 still fails as above, sometimes immediately after loading. 
   All you can do is reboot the machine.
	 
Do you all find anything like this??

It gurus under 1.3 as well, due to the way the muck around with the
serial device...on 1.3 I could just use the 1.2 version...anyone know
if the 1.2 version works under 2.0??

	In the documentation for 1.1, I remember seeing something about
choosing an alternate timer.  It seems that AmigaOS 2.0 has reserved one
of the two timers in the machine for internal use.
	Did you try using Music-X with this other timer?

DMCS has a lot's of bugs at MIDI handling, it makes gurus in every
Amiga very easily. Never seen the professional.
