Howdy,

Any news on this?

What I am most interested in are key-bindings which make editing sequences easier. I do not have a MIDI keyboard, so I have to do it all with the mouse and keyboard. It's is quite painful.

I have found:
cursor keys to move note around.
shift+cursors to changes length of note.
various letters to choose the options on the right.

Is there a keybinding to add a note? Music-x would have really benefited from a cursor too :P

Am I also interested in other sequencers. I'm interested in ones which can drive MIDI devices and use the on-board sound chip too. Dominator looks decent, but I bet that won't run on a 500 :P

Cheers

FWIW the video tutorial was quite good (if a little stilted). I would still like to get hold of the manual to see what other hidden features I have missed.

Cheers

Is this video available online? Or can someone make me a copy of it. I still have a Svhs deck setup in my studio

@Billy - you can find details of how to download the video in this thread...

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=66591

No VHS copy of it is available, only the AVI file version is available.
All the videos will be going on-line to view at some stage but not for a few weeks at the very least so you may just want to grab it via the EAB Server - details of how to access the server are written in the above thread also.

OK, I'm with contact with Bombjack and he's willing to scan the manual. I will ship it to him first thing next week.
I'll keep updates when available.

Peter · 23 March 2013, 19:03

Nice - I take it he is going to up it to his site?

vext01 · 23 March 2013, 19:15

@amiman99, that is great news! Thanks for following up on this.

sounds very promising, thank you amiman99.

I have music x 2.0 boxed software and manual :-) sounds like you have it all in hand but I might take a look at weekend. I have a scanner here too. I also have the aforementioned music x jr somewhere boxed with manual. So happy to help. ( though scanning will take a little time! )

Peter · 27 March 2013, 00:23

That would be great, I'm after this as well now so a scan would be fantastic.

Don't forget the Amiga Format Music X video on the EAB server musojon74 - it's worth a watch!

vext01 · 27 March 2013, 01:20

@musojon74, I don't know the difference between all of the different versions or if the manuals differ... Any idea?

Also, do you know any of the key-bindings that I was asking about previously in the thread?

Cheers

musojon74 · 27 March 2013, 01:24

Jr version is definitely a liter version. Don't know about key bindings will take a look tomorrow. Haven't used music x in an age.

emufan · 31 March 2013, 17:03

amiman99 and bombjack did the music-x manual ( Sat Mar 30, 2013 ). it is already on bombjacks website.
thanks a lot both of you, now i pray for a safe return of your original manual

vext01 · 31 March 2013, 18:57

Peter · 31 March 2013, 19:27

You're faster then I am!
He said got my manual on Friday and will scan it this weekend, but I didn't know he'll be so fast.

emufan · 01 April 2013, 16:38

he also OCR'ed the document. not bad. and i think he got some more advanced scanner.
report back, if the manual returns - just to ensure the endeavour went well

musojon74 · 02 April 2013, 22:10

Which one have you got? I just looked and I have

huge (478 page) Music X manual, ringbound
thin (206) page Music X manual, ringbound
thin (138 page) Musix X 2.0 manual, ringbound
very thin Music X 2.0 addendum manual

I have music x junior somewhere, but my better half may have stashed it somewhere...

and Thanks Amiman, you were way less tardy than I was
