- If you find yourself sitting quietly in front of
- your Apple IIgs this fall writing a school paper or
- doing graphics for the Halloween party, you're
- overlooking half of the power of your machine. Put
- the S in your Apple IIgs to work by adding sound to
- your projects, even if only for your own pleasure.
-
- "But," you say, "I don't know how to use sound and
- I don't have any sound files or programs." Well,
- come on over to A2 where we have one of the finest
- collections of music, sounds, and composition
- programs available anywhere for your Apple. Our
- Library contains around 900 sound-related files and
- over 600 pieces of music.
-
- We have programs available to create and play
- music, like:
-
- File 23074 MUSICOMP3.0.BXY Music Composer version
- 3.00.
-
- File 18144 S6.SYNTHLAB.BXY SYNTHLAB disk for IIgs
- System 6.0.
-
- File 19378 SOUNDSMITH.BXY Version 1.01 of the
- shareware GS music program.
-
-
- Programs to play music, including:
-
- File 19032 DESKTRACKER.BXY SoundSmith music player
- Finder extension.
-
- File 20506 MODZAP.BXY v0.81a of MODZap GS music
- player.
-
- File 20665 SONIQTRK.63.BXY SoniqTracker v0.63. IIGS
- MOD player.
-
- And, naturally, all sorts of music files to play
- and manipulate using freely distributable and
- commercial IIgs music-makers as well:
-
- File 20467 BACH.PRELUD.BXY "Steel Guitar" Music for
- SynthLab.
-

-
- But the sound-production capabilities of your IIgs
- don't end with making music. The potential of this
- marvelous machine can be used to enhance its
- operating environment by playing distinctive sounds
- with each of its functions.
-
- Sound resource files (sound effects, voices, fun
- stuff, you name it) are available in the Library.
- If you're not sure how to turn on those sounds, ask
- on the Bulletin Board in Category 2, Topic 28, or
- Category 6, Topic 7. One of our staff members will
- be glad to give you detailed directions -- provided
- some swift A2 GEnie member doesn't beat us to it.
-
- And don't stop there. How about a IIgs game or
- three for some cool music and sound effects. Likely
- candidates include:
-
- File 20298 DUELTRIS.BXY 2 player game with great
- graphics and sound.
-
- File 20329 OILLANDERS.BXY OilLanders tank game from

- strategy/arcade game.
-
- File 22348 TICTACTOEGS.BXY IIgs Tic-Tac-Toe game
- with music.
-
- You can, of course, play sound and music through
- the small speaker in your machine, or you can truly
- release the power of your stereo-capable IIgs by
- adding an inexpensive stereo card. Check out
- Category 4, Topics 3, 4 and 10 on the Bulletin
- Board for used stereo cards and other useful
- equipment. If you want a new card, contact one of
- the many vendors who frequent A2. Our staff will be
- glad to provide guidance and help during
- installation and setup.
-
- If you have an older 8-bit Apple, don't feel left
- out of the sound game. Tim Tobin, A2's
- administrator of the Lost Classics project, has
- managed to retrieve the 8-bit sound program
- Electric Duet. This lost classic will play good
- music on your older II, II+ or IIe. Just download
- File 20708 EL.DUET.BXY, Electric Duet, A Musical
- Lost Classic.
