  About the lemmings II demo from physik. Well, like I stated in my last post,
  it seems like the lemmings II demo(THAT lemmings II demo) <- In specific,
   needs you to turn off all extra memory except for the first 512k ram
   expansion that you put in the bottom of your A500. It should work then
  I have no idea why you have to do this, but so far, this is the only thing
  I had to do it for. Other than that, I believe it could be aproblem created
   from the copy of the original demo. Kind of like the Beast 3 demo. The one
  I ftp'd many times from the ftp sites here I couldn't get to work the 
  second half of it at all. THe first half worked but the second half
   at the fortres didn't work. But when I got my demo of the samething straight
   from Psygnosis. Ta da!!!! The whole demo worked perfectly. Go figure....

Hello!  I sent some E-mail to Sierra last week regarding a problem I've got
with King's Quest V and Leisure Suit Larry 5.  Every time I try to
save the game in progress, my system crashes. I downloaded patches from
the Sierra BBS, but that didn't solve the problem. I received the patches
via diskettes directly from Sierra, but I get the same problem.  When I
try to save, an alert pops up on the screen that looks like this:

       --------------------------------------
       | Software Failure                   |

When I click on the Reboot button, the screen goes blank and the following
alert pops up on the screen:

Software failure.              Press left mouse button to continue.

        Error: 8000 000B       Task: 00303098


I am running these games on an Amiga 1000 with OS 2.04, 2.5 MB RAM, and
from a hard disk. As an aside, I've got the original Leisure Suit Larry I
and it never had any problems.

Anyhow, I'd really like to play these games!  Any suggestions on what is
going wrong?  Let me know!

P.S.  This message was also sent to Sierra via CompuServe; If I get 
a resolution response from them, I'll post it here for others who might
also have this problem.

I agree totally. Origin could bring out the entire series of Wing
Commander on CD for most machines.  Likewise, Sierra can also bring
out games like Kings Quest V on CD.  This crap about cramming large
games on diskettes only is silly as alot of these games are using the
latest techniques in programming tools but not in hardware.

I think it would be an awsome Idea but, I would have to agree that editing
would
be a pain.  It would be possible to gear everything tword floppy bassed
virtual samples.  Each sample could simply have an access time tag
associated with it.  A 100K sample, for instance, might need 20 seconds to
load.

For non floppy based or optimized situations, the tracker could time each
sample access time.

The tracker would basically have to keep a time based memory management
array.
When ever the user wanted to load in a big sample, some others would
naturally have to go away.  The tracker would simply have to do some
looking ahead to make sure none of what was being gotten rid of is going to
be needed in the near future.

I think it is possible and would be an excellent option.

Your idea is far from new. As a matter of facts it has been done before,
even many times.
About two years ago it was popular to make whole-disk sample-players
that replayed very long (in memory) tunes with very long samples in
them. Many coders wrote their own hacks of the NoisePlayer that loaded
new samples from disk during the replay. "D-MOB musicdisk 3" was a good
example of this technique. Still, making a tracker to work with this system
generally would be really messy. Editing would be hell.

I got the mailout info on the Sunrize boards.  The 16-bit board looks very
nice. They say the DAT I/O interface is not yet available and I doubt that we
will see this crucial part soon. So, unless you have a giant mutant hd from
Cheyrnobal or something, you can't get that much out of it.  If the DAT I/O
board does appear, then the possibilities are interesting.  How about backing
up a hard drive on an audio DAT. It would really be interesting to use the
DSP to store any digital data on an analog machine. We have a Sony componant
in our electronic music lab that stores PCM digital info on any VHS machine.
I'll bet it could be for computers, but correct me if I'm wrong.
PS. I expect to see a few more 16 bit boards coming out to make pricing
competitive. Anyone seen/heard/priced Maestro yet?
Any responses or flames appreciated.

Well, we use a PSR 500 in our Amiga lab and here's what I know so far...

Sonix and Deluxe Music will run a PSR 500, but why wold you want to?
We could never get MED to do it, mostly because the interface is nearly
incomprehensible. The most success we have had has been with Bars&Pipes.
It can access the instruments pretty easily and I like its features. Get PRO
though, as I wish the standard version had music sheet editing.

And steer clear of AMAS. Our AMAS box sent all kinds of wierd signals to 
our poor PSR. Everything was fine when we used a home made MIDI box.

Hope that helps.....

A big hi to all people who love to hear good music!

I've just uploaded some of my own module-creations on the following
ftp-server:  faramir.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de
They are in the directory: pub/amiga/incoming/mods/andemar

I hope you like the mods, because I have the opinion that it's better
to compose one's own melody than to just sample whole parts of a CD.

If you want a short description of each module, then look at the file
andemar.readme.
But beware: some of the modules are Oktalyzer-modules and I don't think
	    that they can be replayed on other systems than the AMIGA!

It would be nice, if you tell me your opinion (good or bad?) about my
mods via E-Mail or something like that.

By the way: the directory will be updated from time to time!
So, if you like my mods then look frequently for new ones in this
directory.

Bye!

I'm on the verge of buying a MIDI sound module.  A Roland D-110
and a Yamaha TX81Z are available to me used.  I would be using them
mostly with DMCS (ugh), and I do mostly medieval and renaissance
music.  I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this hardware
combination (A1000, if it matters), particularly if you do early
music.  I have a Casio CZ-1 for input, but it's becoming more
and more cantankerous for output.  (And split-keyboard is a very
stupid and limited way to get voice panning.)

I've been reading through the D-110 manual, and when I finish that
I'll have more questions for the guy with the TX81Z.  There's some
terminology differences between the Roland and my Casio, and probably
the Yamaha as well, so there's all that to iron out just to figure
out what the modules really claim to do.  I think they're both
fairly close by, so I can go hear demos.

Early impressions:
	D-110 may be able to do more voices
	D-110 has more flexible control over voice pan
	TX81Z supports scales other than even temperament

Thanks for any info,

Is there a modplayer that can 'shuffle' play between mods. e.g. You give a
directory full of mods, and the player plays them in random order.
(like a CD-player)
