Composing music on X68000

[eidis]

 Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good news ! Mr.Hizmi revealed the missing piece of the puzzle, and the word is Zmusic2. After some searching around I found two humongous documents which look like doctor's dissertation papers.

There are detailed manuals on how to use Zmusic2, Zmusic3 and Midi commands.

Keep the scene alive !

Ehh, remember being late to the party? I actually own zmusic 2 and 3 hard copies and have known about the following website for probably as long as I've been doing this All you gotta do is ask

 Hi Neko68k !

Yes, you are right. Being late to the party can sometimes be very confusing.

By the way, the documents were taken from sourceforge.jp

Have you ever succeeded in composing your own melody on the X68000 ? I would love to give it a go without reading 600 pages of manual and learning MML by heart.

as far as the zmusic2 document is concerned, it looks like it's just the concatenation of files from the already existing ZM_MAN.LZH

I haven't. I'm not really a musician. Just stuff that I wound up with

 I guess there is no other way. Sigh. Page 1, Chapter 1 ........

My best friend is studying composition at the new england conservatory, i wonder if he'd be interested in composing on x68k... I know he hates midi instruments though, haha.

I can't wait until i get my hands on my x68k

I was looking for something like this to pass on to any interested composer back when I was working on a game project for the old X68000. Alas, I never found a guy with sufficient technical knowledge. Composers that know MML are of the rarest breed.
