New version of M available
Posted by Tim Conrardy at

I am happy to announce that we now have a new version of M, the interactive performing Algo-comp application.(by Eric Ameres and David Z) The previous version was a "cracked" copy that the programmers still gave thier consent for a download. However, Phillip Louie (of the Atari-Midi mailing List) was able to supply us with a unprotected "legal" copy of M. It is now on my site. See link below. This version works well in Steem as well as a falcon and TT with no crashes (yet!)So good news for Atari-Midists!

Manfred Hanke has released to me the Atari ST version of his Quaderno program which is a spectacular alternate mouse program with sequencer.A composition application. He also released an algorithmic program called Hypnosis. I have created the page for it. The only drawback is..no docs. Perhaps in the nearby future.

Posted by Tim Conrardy at

Neil Wakeling (see article in May issue of MyAtari: Imagination Music) has released his beta version of PULSAR, the Analog Sequencer Simulator. It is now available on my site.
