The belated issue 11 of Sam Revival magazine is out now. This issue of Sam Revival is an audio special, and features a cover CD which contains music tracks recorded directly from the Sam Coupe. There's music from a variety of music programs such as E-Tracker, Pro-Tracker and several MOD Players as well as a whole variety of music played back using various Sound Interfaces. Tracks recorded from the Quazar Surround really show what the Sam Coupe can do sonically - there recordings from a variety of software for it including samples up to 16 bit quality, advanced sample compression, oversampling and sequencing.
As well as the usual features in the magazine such as the Sam Scene Roundup (which includes an nine page roundup of the recent ORSAM 2004 computer show with plenty of photos and includes the preliminary information on the prototype 'Mayhem Accelerator' I demonstrated there) the rest of the magazine articles continue on with an audio feel. There is a mammoth article looking in depth at all the extra sound interfaces that have appeared (or not as the case may be with some of them!) for the Sam Coupe over the years, and the software that was written to take advantage of them. Sam Revival costs £3.00, or 5.50 euros for international readers (including airmail postage). A three issue subscription costs £8 (15 euros internationally). For more information on this issue, and back issues please see the website.
