Amiga MIDI sequencer: MIGNON PS

Akira · 03 August 2011, 01:03

Hey guys,

I am looking for this old MIDI sequencer called MIGNON. I need the PS version, MIGNON PS. No other version has the option to use it as a sampler so I need this version.

Anybody has it?

Thanks!

Akira · 03 August 2011, 04:36

It sems to be available in a compilation called "AQ-05" (?) from NUMbers (?)
http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/thepage/AQ_05.TXT

Akira · 05 August 2011, 16:44

SOMEBODY has to have this, right?

I am in dire need of the application.

Akira · 09 August 2011, 00:33

Sorry about bumping this again, but not a single reply? this software has to be somewhere.

Akira · 10 August 2011, 05:06

I keep talking to myself, seems nobody can help me

Some more info which I posted in a.org (yes, I am desperate :P):

I found a review of it in an article about MIDI sequencing in the german Amiga mag AMIGA SPECIAL, 12/97-1/98 edition, Page 54. So it's from kind of that era.

Software company that made it or published it is called SEK'D. Data:

Sek'D
Studio für elektronische Klangerzeugung Dresden
Schmalwiesenstr. 21
D-01219 Dresden

I need the PS version because it has a special SAMPLER function. (Ab version 3.0). Mignon Junior or Mignon SMPTE are no good for my needs.

If you need a scan of this article, I can do it tomorrow.

It's part of the music university in Dresden : http://www.hfmdd.de/hochschule/insti...e-des-studios/
Use 'Kontakt' to write them an email. Good luck.

According to the Samplitude Opus docs SEK'D gave up on writing software for the Amiga market in 96. Plus AQ-05 was dated 94. So I think you should be looking more at the early 90's... Unless someone else took it over like ACT did with Samplitude? But then I think it would be less rare...

Been looking at their site on arc.org but only managed to find one mention of MIGNON-SMPTE bundled with Samplitude:

Sorry, know this post is not of much help, hopefully the contact info TheCyberDruid gave will prove more useful...

Akira · 10 August 2011, 14:26

Thank you guys, I will try this lead!

The form didn't give me a confirmation but I hope the message went through. I even wrote it in German :P

XDelusion · 11 August 2011, 08:25

What is special about MIGNON? What advantages does it hold over OctaMED or other related software?

Akira · 11 August 2011, 16:30

I'm not looking for any MIGNON, I need the PS version (Ab Version 3.0) because it has a sampler module that takes input from any MIDI source and this is what I want to use. I don't want to use this software as a sequencer.

Octamed is a tracker, therefore, a totally different type of app.

XDelusion · 12 August 2011, 03:36

What is a module sampler? What does it do?

viddi · 12 August 2011, 08:40

I may have it. I´ll check my disks when I´m back home.

Akira · 12 August 2011, 18:21

Awesome!!! thanks viddi.
Xdelusion: I said sampler module, not module sampler. The sampler module makes Mignon act like a sampler, receiving control from an external MIDI source.

XDelusion · 13 August 2011, 11:54

Hmmm curious!

I think I'm going to want this too!

viddi · 13 August 2011, 21:58

I just want you to know, that I´ll be able to check my disks on Tuesday.

So please wait a bit.

PaulyQ · 14 August 2011, 01:15

just had a quick look at AQ-05 and it's a demo version, hope you find it, don't suppose it's hiding away on any old telnet BBS sites? or possibly e-mule or similar??

Grasping at straws I know.

good luck!

Akira · 15 August 2011, 06:50

At this point I'll make do for now with the demo version!

viddi · 16 August 2011, 13:20

I´m sorry, it´s not the PS version.

But I will check the net for it as well.

Akira · 16 August 2011, 15:02

Which version is it? I haven't found any, so please share it because it'd be good to have it in the net.

Synthesize Me · 25 August 2011, 03:36

I don't think I can help you much here, but you have peaked my interest.. Is the sampler ability similar to how it is in "milky tracker" where you can map a different sample to each key of the midi keyboard?

viddi · 25 August 2011, 09:49

Sorry for the delay.

The Mignon disk is EMPTY.

It wasn´t an original copy, though.
Maybe my brother knows more about it (it was part of his old Amiga stuff).

I do have an original copy of Samplitude (CD edition).
It may contain Mignon.
But this disk isn´t readable. Again

I tried several cd drives (Amiga and PC) and the surface looks okay, too.

Any ideas?

FromWithin · 25 August 2011, 21:58

You can play samples via MIDI with Bars & Pipes and the Amigophone tool. However, they need to be IFF multi-octave samples (can be create with AudioMaster IV).

12 September 2011, 21:35

Okey, I'm finally registered here on English Amiga Board,

I'm searching also for years and years to get me a copy of mignon
I really wanne try this out !!

I hope it will be for public one day !!

Here You can find one - as auction,

I send this guy an email months ago,
but I guess he won't sell it for 20 euro or so ??

Anyway, give it a try !!??

Bars & Pipes proved to be a mindfuck for teh simple use I wanted to give it. Believe me I tried to use it. I printed the manual at all. It also guru'd on my Amiga frequently and that's when I threw it to shit. Sorry, I know you love and use it a lot, but it's just not the tool for me! I need a very simple sample player that can be remoted through MIDI.

Steohen: I'l check out that auction, thanks!

Akira · 04 March 2012, 18:28

Anybody ever got this, then? Still looking for it.

discomeats · 05 March 2012, 10:44

I can't remember it's name, but I seem to recall an amiga based sample player that used the amiga like a tone module through midi. It sounds like the sort of thing you are after, if you can't find mignon.

I think it might have been shareware though. *to the aminet*

http://aminet.net/package/mus/midi/midiIn

also, when looking on aminet, noticed something else

http://aminet.net/package/mus/midi/ProjectMIDI

I haven't tried either of these programs so I don't know how useful they are to youse or anyone else, but they may be of help to someone that just wants to use a spare amiga as a midi "instrument". Similarly, if folk haven't already heard of it a combination of midi-ox and midi-yoke can do the same with a spare windows pc running vst's or whatever.

Hopefully this helps somebody

Akira · 05 March 2012, 12:10

I tried those two and are horrible pieces of software. Lock up the Amiga randomly, can't take any proper fast MIDI signal...en fin, this is why I look for options

The idea behind those two is exactly what I need but the execution is beyond poor.

Of course I have sampler software for the PC/Mac, but that's not the point.

Thanks for trying to help though!

discomeats · 05 March 2012, 13:03

ah well, I did say hopefully, and for people who didn't know on the pc

guess you've only one option then.

break out the c compiler
