Welcome to SoundScape Pro, the first of a series of programs using the
SoundScape music operating system for the Amiga computer. SoundScape
Pro (referred to as SoundScape throughout this manual) is a program that
takes full advantage of all the facilities found in the SoundScape music
operating system to record, play, and edit music. Although SoundScape Pro
has the power and flexibility to satisfy the professional musician, ifs also
simple enough for beginners to use once they understand how the parts of
SoundScape work. This manual is written to introduce you to SoundScape
gently and easily, explaining important concepts and details to the novice
user, and giving examples so beginning and advanced users can learn to use
SoundScape to their best advantage. 16-Bit Explosion Introduction:
Amiga musicians will also be interested in SoundScape Pro, a MIDI sequencer system from Mimetics Corporation (Palo Alto, California), SoundScape Pro uses the Amiga's multitasking operating system to make multiple music programs behave like separate pieces of studio equipment, all tied together through a software patch panel. It provides the equivalent of a MIDI clock generator, a sampling synthesizer, and a digital tape deck. The price is $149. Mimetics also is releasing the SoundScape Digital Sampler for $99 and a MIDI interface for $49. REVIEW:
Mimetics' SoundScape system comprises three separate products: SoundScape Pro MIDI Studio ($149), SoundScape Digital Sampler ($99), and an Amiga MIDI interface ($49). Judging by current trends in the UK pricing of Amiga software, those figures will turn directly into pounds sterling. However, even an end result of £300 should be fair if SoundScape lives up to its spec sheet. What Mimetics have done is to build a system around the Amiga's strongest point - the multitasking. So, rather than attempting vainly to emulate the Macintosh's ultra-crisp display, they've given the user the option to mix 'n' match as many as 32 different modules, using the Amiga's facility of multiple windows, all routed through a main icon-driven patch panel. Thus one module provides an internal MIDI clock with autolocate and function controls, another allows four-voice, eight-bit companded sampling at a rate of up to 30kHz, with definable ADSR, loop points, pitch-bend, and velocity, and a further module is a tape deck with an 'infinite' (according to Mimetics) number of tracks and notes, plus full sequence and song editing, and selectable MIDI filters on In and Out. To describe this concept as exciting is putting it mildly, though it'll doubtless take some getting used to. A full review should follow shortly, so watch this space.
