The Assembly 93 competition heated up Finland putting on a show of demos for many computer platforms. The results of the competition are found in this issue. I also have taken the time to go through the FTP/BBS list so there are some changes. The authors list continues to be improved and I would appreciate any help in filling the blanks that exist. For all you audio buffs Island CD Creations has pressed the Sound-Site CD-ROM containing near 1400 MOD files and 500 MIDI files as well as numerous sound files players on multi-platforms. It's great for collectors and those who find downloading the files too time consuming. Read the CD-ROM.INF file if you are interested. If you are interested in publishing the Sound Newsletter on a CD-ROM please contact me for more information. Would you like to see a new column, write a column, answer questions...

We are happy to say that all programs reviewed in the Sound Newsletter can be found on this site and the site is growing everyday. I am looking for a few people to help with the backlog of new programs. What this would require is checking the incoming directory and downloading new programs and verifying that they work (and of course possibly writing a review of it for the Sound Newsletter if you have time). I can't promise much but you will be able to see a lot of new programs before most people and of course get your name in "lights" on the Sound Newsletter. If you are interested let me know. Our second site is going through final stages of preparation and we should be able to announce it in the next issue. This site will be different from our sound.usach.cl site and we hope you will find it equally valuable. Sound.usach.cl users please use the 'ls' command to view the files on the system. The 'dir' command is still being perfected and sometimes may not list all the files present. I have updated the MOD directory to reflect many of the recent MOD files and have provided a listing below of the new MOD files on the ftp site. Be looking for a list of Sound file players in the next newsletter. In the meanwhile check out the players directory as we have one of the most extensive collections of sound players available. sound.usach.cl enfrance.mod music.mod Pub/Sound/Songs/Mod enjoysil.mod music2.mod acb.mod enola.mod music3.mod adeline.mod enolagay.mod muzac.mod air.mod enolamix.mod muzak2.mod airwolf.mod epi.mod noname.mod alf.mod equinoxe5.mod numan2.mod always.mod erasure.mod oimd.mod apc.mod fallen.mod oxygene2.mod atmosphe.mod fletch.mod oxygenei.mod awesome.zip foolish.mod pasion.mod axelf2.mod freaked.mod passion.mod bach.mod freddie.mod patega.mod batdance.mod funkdin2.mod pethell.mod batman.mod funkdina.mod phntasma.mod bbd.zip getwell.mod pianoplk.mod beaugirl.mod ghostb.mod pmboom.mod bettyboo.mod gigicar.mod power.mod bitedust.mod glorylve.zip prelud2.mod bluemon.mod gotta.mod prelude.mod blueprnt.mod guitarous.mod pumpuphm.mod boesendorfer.mod hell.mod quantum.mod bozo-house.mod holdhand.mod quantum6.mod breath.mod house.mod rave.mod breeze.mod house2.mod rocking1.mod bthay303.mod house_of.mod ronken.mod cant.mod hurrican.mod sadness.mod celtic2.mod industry.mod sahara.mod cheers.mod inspect.mod short.mod chicago.mod invisman.mod spikemix.mod chicsor.mod itsmylif.mod stahnd.mod chopin.mod japan.mod startrek.mod crypto.mod jb.mod starwars.mod cyber.mod jeopardy.mod stripped.mod daisy.mod journeyh.mod studio.mod dasboot.lzh kennedy.mod sunwind.mod detach.mod lioths.mod t2.mod dirt.mod lowalt.mod takeonme.mod doit4u.zip man.mod tanya.mod dontworr.mod masqrade.mod techno.mod drwho.mod mega04.mod tecno3.mod dungeon.mod midlalta.mod thorax.mod elyouth.mod mil.mod wotrock.mod emotionl.mod miss.mod xmas.mod ************ ** Comdex ** ************ If anybody is attending the Las Vegas Comdex show in November I will be there for the opening day.

Gravis made a strong showing at Assemble '93, some great new GUS software was released, and I've finally found a windows midi player that I can live with. All in all I think August was a great month. Well, without wasting anymore time lets get to the good stuff. Title : Gustrack Version : 1.03 File Name : gustr103.zip Type : Tracker Author : EJ Botterman jr. E-mail : n/a Price : Shareware $20 registration It amazes me to see the number of new trackers showing up for the GUS. Just as the August issue went to press, I received a copy of Gustrack. Gustrack is a new 4 channel ProTracker style composer. Gustrack is written by EJ Botterman jr. Gustrack supports loading of 4,6 and 8 channel mod files. It supports almost the whole ProTracker command set. The only problems I've heard of with Gustrack is that some people have had problems playing mods that they have created with Gustrack on a Amiga. I've not had much time to work with Gustrack, so look for a full length review in a future issue. Title : Farandole Composer Version : 0.8b File Name : far08b.zip Type : Tracker Author : Daniel Potter/Digital Infinity. E-mail : dpotter@uss.lonestar.org Price : Shareware $15 registration Another tracker worth mentioning is Farandole (FAR) composer from Daniel Potter/Digital Infinity. FAR is a 16 channel composer based heavily on the original 669 composer from Renaissance. If you have used the 669 composer in the past, you should feel right at home with FAR. Where FAR distinguishes itself from the 669 composer is in its ability to use up to 16 channel as opposed to 8 channels with the 669 composer, the ability to use 8 or 16 bit samples, and use of 16 independent pan positions. FAR allows the loading of MOD,669, and FAR files, but only saves in FAR format at this time. One feature of FAR that you will either love or hate is it's 'Huge' pattern edit screen. FAR uses the 132x43 mode for displaying all 16 channels on the screen at one time. I personally like being able to see everything at one shot, but have heard from others that think it makes the screen too crowded and hard to read. The second public release version (08b) of FAR was just recently released. Version 08b fixed many problem of the original release. Among the fixes are : - Problem with TSENG and S3 based video cards. - Bug when loading MOD and 669 files. - Added STM loading support. - Host of other bug fixes and enhancements. If you have liked the original 669 composer or are still looking for a tracker, give Farandole composer a try. Title : ZZPlay Version : 1.00 File Name : zzp10pen.zip Type : Mod Player Author : Zwerg Zwack of Pentagon (a.k.a Christian Kuendig) E-mail : chicken@ezinfo.vmsmail.ethz.ch (attn: Zwerg Zwack) Price : Non-Commercial Freeware. See zzplay.doc for info on ordering the ZZPlay.obj file to add MOD playback to your own program. Up until recently, Gusmod and Gusplay have been the two most popular MOD players for the GUS. Now you can add a new MOD player to the list. ZZPlay from Zwerg Zwack of Pentagon. ZZPlay like Gusplay supports 4,6, and 8 channel mod files. I was impressed with the clean output of ZZPlay. There was not a hint of the dreaded 'ultra-click'. One thing I like about ZZplay is that you can see the instrument names. This allows you to read any messages the composer included in the MOD file. The only problem I've found with ZZPlay is when playing back the MOD Klisje Paa Klisje ZZPlay has problems handling the some of the speed commands in the middle of the song. I don't consider this a major problem, as many MOD players have problems with this song. Only time will tell, but it looks like ZZPlay will be my MOD player of choice. Title : Spect Version : 1.00 File Name : spect.zip Type : spectral analysis Author : Kevin C. Fandre E-mail : kfandre@uafhp.uark.edu (Until May 94) Price : Public Domain A really cool program I ran across awhile back is Spect by Kevin C. Fandre. Spect is a 'Almost Real-Time' spectral analysis program for the GUS. Spect monitors input from either the line-in or mic-in ports and displays a full screen, 128 level spectral display. Even if your not interested in the practical use of Spect, its worth checking out as 'Eye Candy' :) Title : Mycroft's MIDI Surfer Version : 1.01 File Name : srfmd101.zip Type : MIDI "jukebox" for MS Windows 3.1 Author : Alan S. Estenson E-mail : Mycroft@aol.com este0005@gold.tc.umn.edu Price : Public Domain If your tired of using the Windows media player to play Mid file, Mycroft's MIDI Surfer may be the program you've been looking for. MIDI Surfer is a recently released Mid file player by Alan S. Estenson. MIDI Surfer supports any sound device capable of playing Mid files. The one feature that makes MIDI Surfer so great is its use of a queue list for song selection. Using MIDI Surfer, I can queue up an hours worth of mid files, minimize MIDI Surfer, and go about my work with great sound playing in the background. The only things I wish MIDI Surfer would do is allow saving of queue lists to disk, and add drag and drop support. Alan plans on adding the saving of 'Albums' or queues in a future version. I think I've finally found a windows midi player I'm happy with. Title : The Gus Gallery Midi Sampler Volume I Version : 1.00 File Name : ggvol01.zip Type : Collection of midi files. Author : various. E-mail : freejack@shell.portal.com Price : Right!!! :) Our gift to you. It seems I'm always seeing requests on the net from GUS owners for MID files. I've dug through my MID file collection and put together a sampler collection of MID files. All the files are arranged for playback on any sound device capable of playing back GM mid files. All the songs have volume settings for playback on the GUS, so if your planning on listening to these files on a Roland or a MultiSound, you will need to adjust the volume using Phat Tran's Vmap program. This collection contains a variety of styles ranging from easy listening to rock, from classical to techno. Let me know what you think. Well, once again its closing time at the GUS Gallery. I hope you have enjoyed your stay. Next month I plan on spend some time talking about 3rd party patch sets that are available for the GUS, Shareware and freeware Sequencing software, and whatever happens during the month of September. Feel free to contact me on either of the bbs's listed below. On Internet my e-mail address is freejack@shell.portal.com. Until next month, happy Gusing.

Unlike actual module players for PCs, a lot of MOD formats and Output Sound Devices are supported. A nice text screen will be shown during playing, allowing you to give your own effects to the song. Derived directly from VangelisTracker source code, it can play MOD, NST, 669, STM, S3M, S2M, OKT, WOW, 6CM and 8CM (new extensions for Fast- Tracker mods): that is, modules having up to 16 channels and more than 50 samples. MultiPlayer can work with PC-Speaker, Covox or compatible, SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster PRO, allowing stereo in some particular condition (like the Covox-SoundBlaster coupling). It's not a command-line program, like many other modplayers, but it uses a file requester allowing you to tag files, extract mods from LZH and ZIP files (removing them after playing it), change directory or drive rapidly and so on. A Setup Menu is available by pressing Alt-S. You can select devices and enable (or disable) some extended feature to be applied during mod's playback. One of the problems of module players is the 'pseudo-stereo' sound due to module voice separation on output channels. DMP by Otto Chrons resolved this problem by using Panning, VangelisTracker used the Mix Method (imported on MultiPlayer too). MultiPlayer uses another original method, applied only to 4-Channel Mods (MOD, NST, STM) and 669 Mods. This method, called Spatial Sound System, plays mods by replying some voice to both output channels. So, a standard MOD file has voice 1 and 2 played on both channels, voice 3 and 4 played on one channel. This method gives a good stereo effect, but a little loss of sound quality. Also, you can apply 'Mono mode' method, in that case all module voices will be played on both output channels. A lot of original features are available during module playback. You can turn off a channel (keys L or R), change a single voice volume (so some voice can pointed out), and change display mode (bars, patterns, samples) by using the function keys. Classical Dos-Shell is not allowed, but a new shell system is included into MultiPlayer, called VDS (Virtual Dos Shell). It implements all basic MS-DOS commands (COPY, REN, DIR, CD) and something more (MOVE), into the main screen window. Anyway, no external program can be executed into VDS. MultiPlayer is written in TurboPascal 7.0, and requires a 80286, but I think it works good with a 80386-20mhz. A VGA card is recommended for the 28-line display mode. It was tested on a 80386-25Mhz compatible, with a SoundBlaster 1.5 and a Covox installed, on a 80386-33Mhz with a SoundBlaster PRO, and a IBM Model 70 (old 80386-20Mhz) with no sound card. MultiPlayer is available on cs.uwp.edu (/pub/msdos/modplayers) and on official Sound Site, sound.usach.cl (pub/Sound/Players). Other FTP sites can have old releases. Informations are available by E-MAIL: Davide Guida ***************************** ** The Wave Utilities 2.2 ** ** Update ** ***************************** Copyright (c) 1993 by TASsoft Written by Tim Tschirner and Christoph Sundergeld The Wave Utilities 2.2 consist of Looper and Player, two Windows sound applications. Looper is a Windows application that plays digitized audio files in wave format (files with the .wav extension) continuously in the background. It can handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is capable playing of. With Looper, you can have a lot of fun. It can almost turn your computer into a Sampler, a Beat Box or a drum machine. Player is a sound player for Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher, which can handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is capable playing of. There are no limitations to the length of the Wave file to be played. You are now able to play Wave files by simply doubleclicking them in the File Manager. Normally, this isn't the case - launching a Wave file calls up the Sound Recorder with the Wave file loaded in memory. If you have a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 sound card, you can use it's feature to play back two Wave files simultaneously together with Looper and Player. Player can also play Wave files while you're playing .mod files and much more. Once you installed Player, launching a .WAV document from the File Manager will play the sound. This allows greater flexibility for organizing and playing sounds. For example, you can now install all of your sounds in a Program Manager group. Doubleclicking their icons will then play them. By installing a Wave file in your Autostart Group you are now able to play a sound of unlimited length when Windows starts up. When you use Norton Desktop For Windows 2.0 or later as your Windows Shell, you can make easy use of Player's feature to play back several Wave files after another. To let the Wave Utilities run on your system, you must have either Windows with Multimedia Extensions or Windows 3.1 or above installed on your system. You will also need at least 1 Megabyte of RAM and a sound card that is capable of playing back digitized sounds (such as a Sound Blaster card). If you find some bugs or have any comments, questions or problems, you can contact us at the following Internet E-Mail addresses: 1) Tim Tschirner ittschir@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de 2) Christoph Sundergeld icsunder@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de A special note for owners of a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 or compatible: ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 or compatible sound card installed in your system, you can use it's special feature of playing back two Wave files at the same time together with the Wave Utilities. Available on sound.usach.cl (pub/Sound/Players) ************************************************************* ** MIDIMOD makes MIDI files from MODs (almost all effects) ** ************************************************************* Author: Andrew Scott (INTERNET:ascott@tartarus.uwa.edu.au) MIDIMOD converts any Amiga Soundtracker/Noisetracker/Protracker Module to a general MIDI format 1 file. It automatically identifies previously used samples, and automatically allocates channels to both instrument and percussion patches. MIDIMOD also allows samples to be mapped to any chord sequence and converts volumes of samples automatically. Just about every MOD effect is converted, and MOD sample names are included in the output MIDI file. This is an update to version 0.1 and has quite a few bugfixes and some new features. Also included is the complete Amiga Module specification. Even though MOD files contain some music-instructions that cannot be represented in MID format, there are many reasons why it is desirable to have music in MIDI form rather than MOD form: * Some sound cards cannot play MOD files, only MIDI files (eg. AdLib) * Top-of-the-range music editing programs do not handle MOD files, but almost always handle MIDI files, or at least allow you to convert from MIDI files. * There exist programs to print out MIDI files as musical score. I don't know of any which do the same for MOD files * MIDI files tend to be much smaller than MOD files * On some sound cards, MIDI files sound better than MOD files (although on many others the converse is true) * MIDI files are more portable, having a well-known format, and have utilities on many different computers. MID files _ARE_ the industry standard. * MIDI files can be played on professional keyboards, allowing expert recording/presentation of music * Umm.. Microsoft Windows comes with a MIDI player but not a MOD player, so you can play MIDI files as a background task (and insert MIDI files into documents etc. etc.) Changes since version 0.1: Bugfixes (yeah..) including proper management of null sample/null period divisions, correct Pattern-Break effect, correct volume-slides, slightly more correct tempo management. Inclusion of volume scaling, and automatic allocation of them. Now you can set the drum channel to whatever you want (don't get too wild) Compiles under just about every environment (if you've got Curses).
