today we will talk about new
powerful music editor,
intended for musical
nogo coprocessor. The name of this re-
daktor - DIGItAL mUSIC mAKER.
This editor is a prototype ofIBm-
Ovskymusic editor
SCREAm tRACKER. In my opinion
Spectrum version of this
the editor turned out well.  A
this editor was written by the guys from
LAVE in Gomel (Belarus), for which
im greatThank you.  And now
let's go directly to the self-
to the editor.                   

 Basically, this picture and
there is an editor and a menu in one
face. Explanations for the picture:     
                                
   1 line (topmost) -
mIX effects, more on them a little later.  
                                
   2 and 3 lines:

   This system requires a belt
I guess that's what I'm doing:           
                                
 tmp - playback speed
melodies (adjustable by keys
CS+Q and CS+W);                   
 Oct - current octave;          
 End - end of the melody (CS+E);    
 Rept - repeat the melody, and
repeat can be donefrom any
pattern, not necessarily from the first
th;                             
 Edit - editable pattern;  
 Posn - current position;         
 Pat size - pattern length.     
                                
   Even lower is the editor itself -
torus:

   Here:                       
   1. Selected pattern.      
   It is not simply chosen, but
very simple: put instead
one letter another - and everything will be
ok.                          
                                
 2. Note number.               
                                
   3. The note itself.The notes on the keyboard are located
wives just like on the piano,
that is:                        
 Z - up to;

   4. Envelope selection (SAmPLE). 
 5. Sound volume.          
   Moreover, 1 is the minimum sound,
F - maximum sound and "." -
leave the same volume.     
                                
   6. Noise effects and others
bells and whistles (including mIX-
effects).                       
                                
   Now a few words about
control keys. Management

   Below the editor screen you will find

The last line of the screen has
this type:

   Here ... is the name of the loaded
file, and X - memory used
bathroom for tools.         
   But let's turn
to the lyrics of the melodies.  During
editing works like this
keys:SS+1...5 - octave selection;       
 CS+Q - reduce the tempo;         
 CS+W - increase the tempo;

use for smooth transition
progression of one note to another. Numbers

Comrade                            
                                
 mIX effects install
as follows. Let's say...
you need to mix the drummer and the syn-
Tesator. Place the drummer, for example
measuresA-3 1F.  (where 1 will be snare
16), ignoring the sixth field, i.e.
doing nothing there. After which
customize it to your futuremIX
tempo (using CS+Q and CS+W).
Remember that the tempo that
child in mIX-e, must be DOUBLE
more playback tempo.
For example, you need this mIX:
3-A 2F2. The rate of this effect
is the second deuce.  She
is installed like this: install-set the tempo to 4. Set
note 3-A and instrument 2  with
volume F. Now press
SS+6 and the effect will take its place.
By the way, you can only do 6
effects, i.e. SS+6 - the first,
SS+7 - second and so on until SS+0 -
last, fifth.  And one more thing
condition for installing mIX': in
the time it takes to install the cursor is
wives stand on the note, otherwise you
nothing will come of it.               
   Of course, there is no direct change
sewing tools with mIX
does not happen, just two ins-
the instruments will sound simultaneously
exactly, and each in his own way
salmon  Usually mIX effects are used
used to combine blows
Nika with a guitar or synthesizer.
   The last thing remains - consider
third two additional menus.
The first menu appears when
pressing CS+D:                   
 Here:                       
                                
 LOAD tUNE - load music;  
 SAVE tUNE - unload music;  
 SAmPLE - load tools.
                                
   I think there are no special problems
here you should not encounter
it's good.  Second additional menu
appears when you press CS+F -
a selection of options appears, valid-
operating on the principle on/off. Here
they:                            
 AUtOSCROLL - scrolling when accelerating
dancing or clearing a note;       
 SortCat - catalog sorting; 
 Sound - sound from pressing the key
Vichy;                           
 Pattern - pattern length.      
   Together with Dmm a pa-
ra utilities - compiler (who knows
cheatplay me compile-
bathroom files - I'll get rich!) and con-
vertor. Converter recycles
envelopes dragged to GMD with
IBm editor "SCREAm
tRACKER", in the format tR-DOS and in
Dmm format.                     
              * * *             
                                
   Well, that's basically it
editorDmm.                  
                                
 P.S. ATTENTION!!!               
   This program will work
not on all computers
"SCORPION ZS-256"because...
But this is something I don’t know...
