MUSIC X
SOFTWAR
E,
like a
LIBRARIAN
:
A
configurable
librarianis
fine instrument
is
crafted
from
the
heart.
It
is more
than
an excellent
tool,
it
is
also a
work
of art.
COMMITMENT
:
We
hove
committed
ourselves
to
pushingahead
state of
the
art in professionalmusic
software, enabling
you
to
open
new worlds
of creativityat a
cost,
both
in
hardware
and software,
that is
well within
the
budget
of
any
serious
musician.
NO
COMPROMISES
or shortcuts
hove
been
tolerated as
we
designedthis
product.
nd
The
master clock is
accurate
to
I
milliseco

with a
resolution
of
19
clocksper quarter
note.

program
You

teach
.
the
librarianhvw
to
communicate
with
any
MIDI
instrument which outputs
system

EDITING
:
An impressive
battery of editing
features
will be
supported.
In
fact, new
editing
features
ore being
added doilyas
we
interact
with
our
network
of
working, professional
musicians whose input
has
greatly contri
uted
b
to
the
quality of
this program
.
COMMITMENT:
Our commitment
to
music
productiondoes
not stop
here.
A
future
product, Patch EditorConstruction
Kit, will
allow
you
to
create graphicalpatch editors
for
virtuallyany
synthesizer you
may
own.
Some
technicalknowledgewill
be
required,but
since
patch
editors, once
created,
can be
traded
between users,
you
should
have no
problem
getting on editor
for
your
needs.
THE
POWER
:
Part
of
the power
of
Music-X
comes
from
the
computer
it
was
created
for:
The
Amigo, one
of
the most
powerful
and
inexpensivepersonal
computers available.
At
last you
can
run
these many power(ul applica-
tions in
an environment
that is a pleasure
rather than a chore
to
use!
MICRO MIDI:
AlthoughMusic-X will work
with
any of
the many
MIDI
interfaces
for
the
Amigo,
we
offer
our own
MIDI
inter(ace
which
we
feel
ir
a cut above. It
features
six
outputs
(each
output switchoble
os
OUT,
THRU
or
OFF
two
switch-selectableinputs, a channel
),
loadingindicator,and
an
external
clock output
(sync/ start
stop)
for
synchronizi
g
older,
n
non-MIDI drum
machines,
and a serial
poss-thru!
MICRO SMPTE
:
This
complete
SMPTE
Reader
will allow Music-X
to
synchronize
with video or audio tape decks.
It
connects
to
the Amigo parallelinterface
and
includes
a
poss-thru
so as
not
to
interfere
with printer
operation.
Our Micro
SMPTE
is compatible
with all Amigo models
(A500/A
IOO
O!A2000).
PHOTON VIDEO:
PhotonVideois a
complete, integratedvideoanimation
system.
It includes facilities for
both
2-D
and
3-D
animation, as
well
as automatic
tape
transport
control
and real
time
playback
of
rendered
images. Our
3-D renderingmodule
supports
variablelight sources,shadows,
transparency.and reflectionsin a 3-D
environment.
Other modules
include
Cel
Animator,Object Editorand
Transport
Controllerwith
SMPTE support.
