MIDICraft Magazine
The Disk Mag for Amiga Musicians
AM/FM has now been taken over and will be published by MIDICraft
and called MIDICraft Magazine
The Amiga disk based magazine produced by Bj°rn A. Lynne (Dr.
Awesome) in Norway, called 'Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine
(AM/FM)' has due to other commitments, decided to cease publishing
after 19 issues, (He now works for Team-17 in Wakefield, Yorkshire.
UK.)! After a series of communications MIDICraft have decided to take
over the helm of publishing the magazine but the AM/FM logo is being
dropped! Instead, the magazine is now called 'MIDICraft
Magazine'- The Disk Mag for Amiga Musicians. Previous
distributors both here in the U.K. and overseas of AM/FM have
been contacted and the U.K.,distibutors are currently stocking the
magazine. We have published, to date (March 1996), 10 MIDICraft Magazine
issues, 10 MIDICraft Sample disks and 4 MIDICraft Special disks
(Look out for these at your previous distribution library in
your country or contact the publishers direct for your personal
copies!) The new MIDICraft Magazine will of course retain the "look"
and "feel" of the old magazine. The disk mag contains a specially printed
label as proof of Licenceware, will retain the menu layout, and disk
contents/directories structures as before. The price will stay the same
as before!
Moreover, the MIDICraft Magazine has retained some of the better aspects,
such as Reviews, News and Hints and Tips sections. The new MIDICraft
Magazine also retained the Amiga tracker music element and strive to
support both the tracker format as well as the much improved OctaMED
Professional format. MIDI and Music-X software and the new Notator-X
data formats will continue being featured in the magazine in most sections
including FREE Music-X and MIDI files on each issue of the magazine.
As well as the regular Editorial and features the readers letters
will be expanded so come on get writing and send those letters to us
here at our address below! (You can use the readers letters section for
your MIDI software or hardware problems!) We are also looking for
musical contributors but you don't have to be a musician! If you
can write in an interesting and informative way about anything musical
which you may think will be of interest to MIDICraft readers then please
contact us. If you are Amiga musicians and have some music you've
composed or arranged for any of the Amiga music/MIDI software then send
it to us with a brief description of the music and
software/sample/MIDI voicing/Channel setup for easy recognition. If you
have recorded your music to either cassette tape or CD then you can
also send us review copies and we will strive to produce unbiased,
objective reviews! (Although as The Craft Brothers, we have recently
recorded our own 'A Drop in the Ocean' CD project we would like to think
that we are simply musicians JUST LIKE YOU!!!) Computer programmers who
have coded musical orientated Public Domain or Commercial Software
Programs or Utilities, can have their work featured on the magazine as
either completed or demo versions. (Please include program documentation!)
Hopefully a large musician readership can be targeted directly. All
contributors whose work is featured on the magazine will receive that
particular issue of the MIDICraft Magazine for FREE.
Sample disks are also provided and are being be produced as before but
with an emphasis on the users need!
Special disks have again been published and cover anything from
readers Modules, to Professional MIDI files and or really useful Amiga
music utilities!
Initially Seasoft Computing, 17 BIT, Sleepy Hollow Software and
Active Software in the U.K. have agreed to distribute the
MIDICraft Magazine.. Overseas distributors for the MIDICraft
Magazine are being sought! If you run an Amiga PD Software library
and would like to become MIDICraft Magazine distributors then please
get in touch.. The MIDICraft Magazine can also be obtained from
MIDICraft ourselves.. The examples MIDICraft Magazine issue #1,
MIDICraft Sample disk #1 and MIDICraft Special Disk #1 can be found on

and Special disks may be found in the magazine itself on the "Get
Started and Weird Science Multi Media Tool Kit #2 CD ROMS!)
