Well, I couldn't resist just putting in a note to 'review' the new Bars & Pipes Professional. I just got my AMIGA 3MB RAM, 40MB HD on Monday, and the ECE MIDI and B&P Pro last week. WOW! First let me thank all those noters out there who helped me make what I now consider to be a *very* wise decision. Without you guys, well, it could have been alot worse. Also, let me warn you, although I have been playing music for years (Guitar, Piano, Trumpet) and had my share of bands, I have only been reading about MIDI up until now and aticipating (with a worm on my tongue) that fateful day when I would finally save up enough money to TAKE THE PLUNGE!! Well that day has arrived. I'll list below some of the features I've read/discovered so far. These are the ones that are impressive to me, but they might seem pass� to you. Please feel free to ask any questions. * Tracks & Pipes Philosphy - input notes flow in through the input pipe - any number of tools can be combined, macroed etc along the input pipe - input pipe tools process midi data before it is stored; thus it is permanent, in the sense that the information as effected by the tools is stored as part of the song - ouput pipe tools change music as its passed to the sound module but don't effect the stored info - pipes can pipe info from one track to another - the number of tracks is infinite (memory dependent) * Windows - tracks - track edit - song construction - timing - transport controls - metronome - etc. * Scoring & Printing - Classical Notation - Hybrid - notation - piano roll - lyrics - chords - key signature - time signature - velocity * Features - loop recording + transposition or modulation - play a section backwards - fit everything into a given time - complete link to SMPTE/Video scoring - create own chords - create own tools - etc. I can't remember anymore but ask and I'll respond.

| 2629.1 | Moving tools from the demo disk. | ULTRA::BURGESS | Mad Man across the water | Thu May 02 1991 11:17 | 35 |

OK, here goes;
BACK-GROUND:
For totally "professional" reasons I will be bringing my
Amiga into the office next week {Yeah, its REALLY for work}. After my
presentation I would like to show off Bars and Pipes and a few
Amiga'isms to whoever wants to hang around. I don't want to haul
SGUs, amps and speakers to work, so I'd like to use the Amiga's
internal sounds. I also have the Bars and Pipes demo that I
downloaded from the Amiga conference, it has an Instruments sub
directory, and of course it plays through the "AmigoPhone" tool.
QUESTION:
How can I lift the "AmigoPhone" tool from the demo and install
it into Bars & Pipes ? Clue: I seem to have tried most of the
obvious copying tricks, and loading from the demo's directory - - I
think my question is around how to connect/link it/ make B&P
understand that its there..... ????
Reg
{I just wanna start a demo tune and then click the B&P screen to
back-ground while I show off some games - easy if I haul SGUs, amps
and speakers around - I know}

| 2629.2 | Put it in S:/Tools I think | CERN::EJM | Rick N. Backer | Thu May 02 1991 12:10 | 7 |
Either put the tool in S:/Tools (Ithink,I know so little about AMIGA DOS and I can't remember exactly what the name of the directory is) or pop up a Tools window and activate the Load Tool... menu item. This will give a file selection box from which you can find a tool. It isn't clear to me, however, if this Amiga Phone thing is going to be understood by B&P. John | |||||
