Amiga 500 icon edit, Personal Paint

playing with amiga 500 software

You don’t need any 3rd party tools or tedious typing in the CLI. Just run IconEdit (found in sys:Tools). This opens with a default icon called ‘Untitled” that you can customize or use as is. Then select “Save as” from the menu, browse to your file and select it, and hit the “save” button. This will create an icon for your file.

more midi part 3 work in progress

MS GS Wavetable Synth was original licensed by Roland. was removed in 10 and 11

coolsoft and OmniMIDI other available in linux, cakewalk has a license. Still Confusing.

Need new standard for voices

How can I play my USB piano keyboard through VirtualMIDISynth?

USB MIDI keyboard is a MIDI input device, while VirtualMIDISynth is a MIDI ouput device.
It’s the same as microphone and speakers connected to your PC.
The only way for them to talk each other is a MIDI software configured to stream MIDI IN to MIDI OUT.

Some users had success using MIDIOX: set your USB keyboard as MIDI IN and VirtualMIDISynth as MIDI OUT.
MIDI-OX also allows you to patch the MIDI stream between them.

MS Suggestion

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/rsync-for-windows-10/5c84333c-664f-4a2f-ad7b-81727487037c

was a little upset because my website got deleted, but will put some of it back up, because I use one of the files alot or will send to people.

Also going to send to email.

On this site backup is easy;

went to Tools –> Export

you can export content and or media…

l exported content and it was an xml file. The data wasn’t directly useable. I think it was more useable in the past, will look into solutions. Update: just might record screen instead using OBS

polyphone not available. edit: was able to find a windows version of 1.7 at https://polyphone.software.informer.com/

So far used audacity to change pitch and add notes that weren’t there. Sounded flat, maybe not tuned. Recorded from instrument.
