MIDICraft Compositions and Arrangements
Classic Amiga Scores Vol #1 (special Edition)
(This directory contains both format 0 and 1 type SMFs of this volume)
for the Korg i-Series, X-Series, 01/W, 05R/W models only..
Each Standard MIDI File (SMF) is configured as both format 0 and 1
files, setup for the General MIDI (GM) standard on the Korg models
mentioned above.. All 10 scores in this pack are accompanied with
ASCII documentation listing the SMF Korg GM MIDI/Synth setup together
with a smaller documument as a simple identifier..
.RDM files are MSDOS file abreviations for "README" ASCII documents
.TXT files are MSDOS file abreviations for "TEXT" ASCII documents
.MID files are MSDOS file abreviations for "SMF" Standard MIDI Files
.ZIP files are MSDOS file abreviations for "ZIP Archive"
NOTE:
The ZIP archive in the DOCS directory on this disk contains additional
ASCII documentation regarding other MIDICraft Products..
Every attempt has been made to ensure that all MIDI music scores
contained on the Classic Amiga Scores Vol #1 play as General MIDI
(GM) on external Korg i-Series, X-Series and compatible Korg MIDI
synthesizers.. The MIDI scores should play on Soundcards with a Korg
daughterboard fitted with AI2 synthesis and GM facilities with 32 note
polyphony capabilities.. Whilst the quality is professional sounding
on a high quality Korg GM synth then if played on an inferior MIDI
synth/Soundcard or played through small PC speakers then the
quality of audio will be in direct proportion to the quality of
the MIDI synths and or PC Soundcard/Speakers used.. If you use a
high quality Korg GM MIDI synth and or Korg GM Soundcard then these SMF
files should sound as they were intended to be heard.. If played
though a decent amplification system or good Hi Fi then more the
better.. If you are in any doubt as to the particular MIDI
instrument configurations for each score then please refer to the
"README" document which accompanies each Standard MIDI File (SMF)
and can be identified by the file extension ".RDM"

"Boesendorfer PPS" and "Cream of the Earth" by Romeo Knight/TRSI
Both of these tracks appeared on TRSI Amiga DEMO disks in the late 1980's &
blew away all those who had the opportunity of hearing them.. With
Boesendorfer PPS the sheer quality of the Protracker MOD using IFF samples
as piano instruments was simply awesome, so much so that this track cried
out to be converted to MIDI format.. Cream of the Earth is such a really
catchy track that a conversion to MIDI was inevitable.. Here they are -
Boesendorfer PPS and Cream of the Earth in all their glory but now in GM
MIDI format..

"Chant" by The Mad Monks"
The Chant track can also be considered a Protracker MOD classic from the
Amiga platform originally composed by The Mad Monks and employed within one
of their infamous Amiga DEMO disks on the Amiga scene.. Again, this track
made for a great MIDI conversion.. The Mad Monks even left their trademark
in this peice using "chanting Monks" within the score..

"Graveyard Part III" by Seppo Hurme a.k.a. Fleshbrain
Seppo Hurme from Finland was a fellow member of the Amiga demo crew "The
Crusaders" along with Bj°rn A.Lynne and both shared disk space for their
modules but never actually co-composed.. In 1993 Both Bj°rn Lynne and Seppo
Hurme released a co-Produced self-financed audio CD album entitled "Hobbits
and Spaceships" again sharing CD space for their own self-penned synth
scores; Garveyard was rearranged to part III and was recorded and featured
on the album.. The MIDI version featured here is a celebration of a wacky
Amiga musian and composer who writes music like nobody else I've heard
before on the planet!

"Phantasmogoria" by 4-Mat of Anarchy
The title of this track alone says it all, "Phantasmogoria" a name
appropriated from a Lewis Carroll Poem published in "Alice In Wonderland"..
4-Mat was well known on the Amiga scene back in the late 1980s.. He was a
member of the Anarchy demo crew on the Amiga and his music featured
heavily in their DEMO disks.. Phantasmogoria was one such track and its
conversion is a celebration of the great music produced on this amazing
computer platform by teenage kids in their bedrooms - better than some
Rock Stars with millions of dollors who can't even get it up..
Phantasmogoria, it lives up to its name, catchy too..
