AUDIOWAVE #4 - Promotional info text ------------------------------------------------------ AudioWave #4 will see his first release at the Msx-fair of Tilburg in April '98. AudioWave #4 will be a multi-modular music disk: This means that you have a main program (An usual nice-graphic re-player with some special addictional options) in the 1st disk and then an unspecified number of other "modular" music-disks, which will contain musics, wavekits and info files (compressed or not, at the moment we don't know yet). The "modular system" was needed at first for the usual disk-space problem, cause of large Kbytes occupied mainly by Opl4 Wavekits. But this system is more important because it allows us to present in the near future as many new disks as we want and it allows us to leave musics uncompleted and to finish them after, in a second moment, without "running fast&bad" for the symposium's date. One of our first projects after Tilburg is to sell new modular-music-disks via Internet. With the modular system you are also free to buy some modules or not to buy any, as you prefer. Audiowave #4, should be able to play both Opl4 systems: 24waves & 18Fm+6waves. (This depends from our coder) About the 24waves system, Audiowave#4 (AW4) will use the latest version of Moonblaster, at the moment with Reverb & Software LFO effect. In case Moonblaster will see new versions (We hope it...!), we will include together with the new modular disks, also a patch-routine that will automatically substitute the replayer .Bin file in the Main Program Disk with the newest version of it. (Allright?) Every compositions will be associated to an info-text file visualizing on the replayer screen and containing some readable information about the played music (Like: date of composition, Autor, Time duration, arranged from..., greetings, thanks to etc...etc...) The composers of AW4 will be us!, DandAN & Maverick, but we plan to have some addictional bonus tracks composed by "external" musicians: Surely one of these is for example, "Omega" - the Techno's composer who will re-arrange some songs made by me and I will do the same for his music-disk "Pure" (This is a very nice concept about contamination throught different styles...) AW4 wont be build on "one" mono-style of music: The only style that we hope to present is "Quality" (Modests aren't we ?). For the rest you will hear Dance style, as Techno style, as Oldvideogames re-arrangements, as NewAge, as Experimental music, as Acidjazz, Classic, Orchestral, Electronic, Pop, stupid musics and more and more... All these styles that I listed here, are currently present on some songs. At the moment we don't know exactly how many tracks will be ready for Tilburg...For now I've got about 15 compositions that are going to be completed, and Maverick should have the same number of tracks. We plan also to record some audiotapes and/or CDs for people who don't have the Opl4. At the moment we only have a beta version of the replayer programmed in Basic language, so no good-promo is available now. About the graphics, I will do them with Photoshop and about the intro, we are not sure about anything... Same thing about the price: we don't know exactly how much it will cost, but we know that it will be a difference between the price of the main disk and the modular-music disks. We will probably publish also a modular-disk with "uncompleted experiments" for Opl4. (price here very low) AudioWave #4 will probably be presented under an Abyss Production. Well, for now, That's all. For any suggestion and/or requestes for collaboration, just contact me via e-mail. Thanks for your attention. Many greetings. DandAN **** MSX Mailinglist.
