ANSI: rel-0694.zip, kts_tz12.zip ************* GENERAL STUFF ************* Anyone know when "Composers contest" results will be released? Thanks go to TINYZ for the new "header" for this file. I got the TOP25DL program to work correctly after fixing a few things in the program so it searches the NEW ftp.syslog file properly. The results for most of this week can be found in the /news directory under the top25dl name. Unfortunately I can not mail the list because it is impossible for me to run my file (on wasp) against the LOG (on hornet) because I do not have a directory on hornet nor a path to the LOG file. Thus, the program will remain disabled for now except for (probably) weekly manual updates. BTW: Shape (okay, nothing really exciting) was downloaded 144 times in 6 days! %%%%%%%%%%%% MAILING LIST %%%%%%%%%%%% Want to receive DEMONEWS.xxx every SUNDAY via E-mail? Mail dmw@eng.ufl.edu I plan on deleting EVERYTHING that bounces this week (except the obvious mistakes I made). SO, if you should be getting this and are not then please RE-REQUEST this newsletter. <<<<< MUSIC >>>>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Volume 1 _______________ Issue 10 /\ /\ | / \ / \ | / \ / \ -- |---------- / \ / \ | / \/ \ | - MUSIC-FILES - (a weekly guide to music in the demo scene) - Date: 6/18/94 to 6/25/94 - - by: Snowman - ((GENERAL INFORMATION)) ======================================================================== 1. Cool new tunes a. Firestorm Music disk by Firelight just download and try this one /music/disks/firestrm.zip b. Damage Music disk by multiple musicians this is one of the best mdp packs I've seen there are about a half dozen musicians and 10 songs /music/disks/damg/damg0694.zip Cool new programs a. Capamod version 1.4 in my opinion, the most accurate MOD player around /music/programs/players/cmod114.zip b. Textmode intro has nothing to do with music, but I thought it was pretty cool /alpha/NEW/shape!.zip 2. DMP News Well, only one new version of DMP was uploaded this week. However, that one version (DMP300.ZIP) has been locking my system a little bit. This only occurs when I shell and do other things like PKZIP or QEDIT (which I do a LOT). I still made the swith to version 3.00 though and am just using it without shell until a new version comes out. But, I havn't gotten off my lazy ass and written Otto Chrons about this little bug, so it might not be fixed next ver. 3. 4DMP (by Snowman) I released a little program last weekend called 4DMP300. It has been difficult to explain, but I will endeavour to do so now. When you are playing a song in DMP, the bottom half of the screen is occupied by the sample names. Now, whenever a sample is being played, the appropriate channel number appears next to that sample. However, once you hit channel 10, it starts going "A", "B", and so on. What I did was to redraw and redefine about 26 high ASCII characters, so that the numbers "10", "11", "12", etc. would appear in ONE character. Now, whenever you play a song in DMP that has more than 9 channels, you will see a "10" instead of an "A". This would be kind of trivial if it were the only thing I changed, so I also included an enhanced dmp.ini file. This will actually make DMP look pretty! I can't belive Otto kept that yucky color scheme for two years. Well, just go download it and have fun (/music/programs/players/4dmp300.zip). 4. Tiny Play Deleted Hello? I had to delete 2 duplicate uploads of Tiny Play. If its not in the /incoming/music dir, check the appropriate directory /music/programs/players and see if it was moved there. 5. Restructuring of /music Directory This week, I made several new subdirectories under music and put the "a", "p", and "m" directories in there. It was brought to my attention by Shades (he and I kind of quarrel on IRC, but he does have a good idea once in a while :), and I recognize that there needed to be more general division of the files. If you want to see how things are laid out now, just read the music.txt file under /music. 6. Response to "Anyone read these things" Well, after my question last week asking people if they actually read these articles in DEMONEWS, I had an over- whelmingly good response. More than a dozen letters were written which expressed an appreciation for these little weekly articles. I just need that kind of affrimation every once in a while to give me the energy to continue. Thank you. 7. Composer's Contest 1 Results NO, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. Please do not keep writing me asking me this. Mike Phillip's address is digoxy@metronet.com. 8. No .review Originally, I was going to start putting .review files in some of the music program's directories. But then I realized its not my place to tell you what not good. I don't have a problem telling you what IS good, but thats only my opinion. 9. Amiga-Net Whether you know it or not, our computer musical heritage comes from the Amiga scene. I have been downloading lots of goodies this past week, and I'll probably post most of them next week. 10. Snowman the Salesman Lately, I've been feeling like all I do is promote things like my Music Contest ][ and this Demonews. Well, guess what? I'm going to continue to do so until the contest is over. :) So if you want to get to know the REAL Snowman, talk to me sometime after September 3rd. 11. Music Contest ][ (the aggressive campaign) After that clarification in #10, I must tell you all that July is Music Contest ][ Promotion Month. Have a MC][ party at your university, give your family MC][ gifts for their birthdays, go out and eat a MC][ burger. That's right, I need YOUR help. Tell all your friends about Music Contest ][, and if they say "Music Contest ][ sucks", punch them really hard in the head and tell them the error of their ways. :) (just kidding about telling them the error of their ways). The dude who was going to write a nice little program to handle the entry shuffling slipped out the back door or something, so I'm going to have to do it myself. 12. 41 DAYS UNTIL ASSEMBLY 94!
