Digital Dreams 99 ::: *Please read most of this text before playing.*
=================
WARNING!!!!!
THIS OCTAMED MODULE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR PLAY ON A YAMAHA CS1x. IT
WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER KEYBOARD/SYNTH/CARD/SOUND MODULE. It is not
GS, GM or XG, and uses the CS1x's material voices, effects, and
controllers.
Connect up your CS1x via a MIDI interface, and also connect your
Amiga's Audio output to your CS1x's Input on the back of the keyboard!
If your connection is just a straight stereo wire from your Amiga to
the CS1x, I recommend you turn the volume on your keyboard so that it
is pointing directly to the right (parallel to the back of the
keyboard). If you have the audio through some sort of half-connection
with your CD-Audio using a wire with resistors or use a soundcard, I
can't help you with a volume level suggestion so you'll just have to
guess what sounds correct. The only sample played through is the
Digital dreams vocal which occurs throughout the song. It's not
essential that you listen to the song with this in if you can't be
bothered with the hassle or don't have the leads.
***********************************************************************
NB: I'd recommend re-initialising your CS1x somehow before play to
make the song play correctly, the best way to do this, I think, is to
put your keyboard in Multi mode and then back to performance to reset
controllers for channels 5-16, and then change to a preset performance
to get rid of the Current (Edited) performances settings (I find that
this is important).

A quick note that you can find a lot of CS1x related data at "The CS1x
Archive" at cs1x.hypermart.net :)

General info:
I just had to do this remix after my first CS1x song, it will most
likely appear on my next CD album, along with some more forthcoming
CS1x songs.
Check out the original modules, one is OSS mixmode and one is 4-track.
They are available on the mighty Aminet at the following locations:
mods/med/digitald.lha
mods/med/tst_ddsf.lha
Most things are controlled by MIDI messages and some by Octamed's
controller commands.
Thanks to Alcorhythm of The Problem for his CS1x editor.
And many greetz to the following people:
Homer j, naf, phia }-of Transient
B.C. of BC Productions
Dazzy of Soundworks International, Cheeky Choons and other various
affilliations.
The ANet #amiga people, of which there are too many to list but special
mentions for Cluster, Steffan, newlook, IanG, RT_Fact, LegionX,
bladez, Blast, and all the other people who have the time to help me
when I have a problem.
Everyone in the Amiga Team RC5 Effort.
Everyone who owns an Amiga and a CS1x and uses them in conjunction :)
Hmmmm, I wonder how many Amiga-CS1x-Octamed users there are out there,
since there are only going to be a few people who can listen to this
module without it being converted to some other form.
Gotta go, I have to be up early tomorrow :)
