Short: XG Music-X Sequence (0) and Performance (1) files Author: Yamaha Corporation/Edited by MIDICraft Uploader: craftbro midicraft demon co uk Type: mus/midi Architecture: m68k-amigaos file name: XGDEMMX0.lha requires: Yamaha XG synth and Music-X V1.1 or V2.0 or MPM Long: Yamaha XG configured DEMO Standard MIDI Files (SMF) both file formats 0 and 1. These contain SYSEX data for GM On and additional SYSEX strings for the XG range of synths which is particular to themselves! XG Synths that is! * Key: 0 indicates a 0 (zero) format Music-X Sequence File 1 indicates a 1 (one) format Music-X Performance File The Music-X Files in this archive will only play correctly on a Yamaha XG synth `cos they don`t play the correct GM drum kits on my Korg i3 which they should because the Korg i3 has a GM facility! ** SONGS ** 1. Bird of Paradise by Snowy White (was guitarist in Thin Lizzy) 2. Gat Kirwani (cool Indian Sitar/Tabla based percussion score) 3. Swamp Thing by The Grid (remember the dude with the banjo?) 4. Topsy (Cab Calloway Big band type Jazz Peice) The Music-X files here have been edited in another archive which accompanies this XGDEMMX0.lha and XGDEMMX0.readme archive. Therefore, the GM Music-X files in the XGDEMM1.lha archive should play correctly on GM/GS synths.. All copyright notices for Yamaha have been respected (the Music-X files, these didn`t have a (c) notice actually but I`ve embedded one in each of the Music-X 0 and 1 files anyway! That way you know who originally produced the files and that they were probably demo files accompanying a Yamaha manufactured synthersizer with XG MIDI facilities.. Making these Music-X files available on the NET is not an infringment of copyright but simply a means of making these files available to a wider audience so other MIDI freaks can appreciate the professional quality of these MIDI arrangements.. If you`d like to play the edited GM/GS versions then look for XGDEMMX1.lha and the XGDEMMX1.readme that accompanies this archive.. Use MIDI Performance Manager (MPM) by Andreas Jung (which plays both SMFs and Music-X Performance files) and this can be located on the German published "Meeting Pearls III" CD-ROM available from all good vendors.. Andreas Jung Author of MPM Email: ajung@cs.uni-sb.de Please feel free to e-mail me for information and help regarding MIDI on the Amiga, about the MIDICraft Magazine or just to let me know if your like these XG Music-X files.. I`ll probably upload some more good Amiga Music-X/MIDI stuff on Aminet shortly, so look out for these files.. I`m a Music-X/SMF expert with my own recording studio using Amigas (A2000. A1200 and a A500+), I`ve also had an audio CD called "A Drop in the Ocean" released with my co-composer brother, where all music was sequenced using Amigas.. Some Amiga musicians/MIDI freaks on the NET may remember me from the AM/FM magazine which was published on floppy disk by Bjørn Lynne (Dr. Awesome) a couple of years ago. I used to write arcticles and produce MIDI music for AM/FM as one of The Craft Brothers.. I've taken AM/FM over and now publish a similar music based disk magazine called MIDICraft Magazine and I'm onto issue #11 already..
