RE: Hurrah!
Colin wrote in response to me: Not bad tactics that, although going backwards doesnt help much if you reverse into a structure or something then have to go forward through a crowd of enemy cybercraft especially when you beyond the puny drones...! Yes.. That is a downfall. But, that's what the scanner is for! :) It's easy for the puny ones. What is the best tactic, then? Against the other ones? Damn, I can't even remember what the other ones where like. I can't remember my highest level: It's been a while. :( (Too long) Let me know when you next have a go :) I might have a go this weekend. I'll have to dig out my cables and mixers to merge the SAM's and Quazar's sound together... I'll pass on the message... It was his debut tune afterall - and it was a good tune for my 20KHz 16 bit 8 to 1 sample compression. It was indeed. :) Justin.
RE: I am ten...
In response ot Malcolm, Don`t know, but there is going to be another show in HORWICH on the 27th FEBUARY. Incidently my SAM was ten years old last year. Ummm... Where in the universe is Horwich??? Seriously though, there are loads of people who obviously only have a very vague interest in teh SAM on this list - i count myself as being among them - but I think that, seeing this is the tenth anniversary year, we should all make a bit of an effort and each have something to display at one of the shows this year. Again, that would be brilliant, how many new Games and utilities would that be then? Whoa!! You mean I'll have to actually get my finger out and carry on developing my MIDI programs? (Who knows, I might actually get around to polishing my MIDI-Bar proggy and send it to David and Blitz by then...) Justin.

What have you been working on MIDI wise then, Justin? How many more of you are interested in SAM and MIDI? I was working on a program a couple of years ago that played e-Tracker music via MIDI. Is it worth me polishing (rewriting!) it a bit? Anyone interested? David Laundon.
Midi
Of course David, we are interested in any progs MIDI or otherwise, just get cracking with it, then send it to us, and it will be put on the mag for all to share. Malcolm.(PERSONA)

David Laundon wrote: You mean I'm not the only one who's interested in MIDI around here? Afraid not, matey! :) What have you been working on MIDI wise then, Justin? Well, there's MIDI-Bar which really only displays the notes from each channel from a MIDI device onto the screen as a series of lines for each note on each channel. The length of line is determined by the velocity of the note. It also displays the program number of the channel. It's still in beta stages - and I want to add something showing the MIDI heartbeat and possibly the pitch of the channel (but my keyboard doesn't have a pitch wheel so I doubt I'll do that). I'm also writing a Standard MIDI File to SAM Sequencer converter in machine code (actually, it's in C) which is slightly faster than the BASIC one. :) Also in the pipeline is MIDI-Bark (MIDI file player based on MIDI-Bar). Which is most likely have it's own file format but be able to convert from both SMF and Sequencer. The new format will allow the files to be played in the background with the minimum fuss of time converting. I was working on a program a couple of years ago that played e-Tracker music via MIDI. Is it worth me polishing (rewriting!) it a bit? Anyone interested? Yes. :) Justin.
Re: I am ten...
Hi everyone, As it's soon to be SAM's tenth birthday, would anyone be interested in a special SAM lapel badge/tie or something similar? If it had a neat design, using the SAM logo (with permission, of course!) it could look quite good, and be worn with pride. There's always the chance that you'll meet someone else wearing one and discover a fellow SAM enthusiast. I don't know much about getting badges/ties made, but many small clubs and societies have them done. There may be enough of us to make such a project feasible. Any thoughts/comments? Phil Glover.
Games Ahoy! - Dyzonium query
Re: The Defenders game disk: Does the disk's version of Dyzonium have the cheat mode in it? It's an excellent game, but too hard for the likes of me. I bought a pre-release version of Dyzonium which doesn't seem to have the cheat routine, and I have failed miserably to get further than level 3. A cheat mode may tempt me to buy this new disk, once Christmas is paid for Phil Glover.

Re: The Defenders game disk: Does the disk's version of Dyzonium have the cheat mode in it? It's an excellent game, but too hard for the likes of me. The version of Dyzonium (written by me old mate Balor Knight) on the Defender disk does have the cheat mode... However; I'm not going to 'spill the beans' regarding the method(s) of invoking it ;-) Chris.
