I am interested in using MED or SoundTracker modules in AmigaVision... has anyone had experience with this? Is there a way to save or convert them to SMUS files or can they be used directly? Any info would be appreciated.

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).

a different address.
And I'll send you a version of it.

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

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 have tried rxTracker as described in the two previous responses with success. In the process I discovered why my previous attempts at firing medplayer off from the execute icon did not work. The reason is pretty obvious, but just in case there is anyone interested out there who comes across the same problem... Med will not produce any sound if it cannot grab all the audio channels. You can therefore cause a problem if you select a default response sound in the defaults requester as AmigaVision will already have allocated some of the audio channels.
