file name: XGDEMMX0.lha
requires: Yamaha XG synth and Music-X V1.1 or V2.0 or MPM

Long: Yamaha XG configured DEMO  Standard  MIDI  Files  (SMF) both file
formats 0 and 1. These  contain  SYSEX  data  for  GM On and additional
SYSEX strings for  the  XG  range  of  synths  which  is  particular to
themselves! XG Synths that is!

* Key: 0 indicates a 0 (zero) format Music-X Sequence File
       1 indicates a 1 (one)  format Music-X Performance File

The Music-X Files in this archive will only  play correctly on a Yamaha
XG synth `cos they don`t play the  correct  GM drum  kits on my Korg i3
which they should because the Korg i3 has a GM facility!

** SONGS **
1. Bird of Paradise by Snowy White (was guitarist in Thin Lizzy)
2. Gat Kirwani (cool Indian Sitar/Tabla based percussion score)
3. Swamp Thing by The Grid (remember the dude with the banjo?)
4. Topsy (Cab Calloway Big band type Jazz Peice)

The  Music-X files  here   have   been    edited   in  another  archive
which accompanies  this  XGDEMMX0.lha  and   XGDEMMX0.readme   archive.
Therefore, the GM Music-X files  in   the  XGDEMM1.lha  archive  should
play  correctly  on GM/GS synths..

All copyright notices for  Yamaha   have   been  respected (the Music-X
files, these didn`t have a (c)  notice  actually but I`ve embedded  one
in each of the Music-X 0  and  1  files  anyway! That way you know  who
originally  produced the  files  and  that  they  were   probably  demo
files  accompanying  a  Yamaha  manufactured  synthersizer with XG MIDI
facilities..

Making these Music-X  files   available   on   the   NET   is   not  an
infringment of copyright  but  simply  a  means  of  making these files
available to a wider audience so other MIDI freaks  can  appreciate the
professional quality of these MIDI arrangements..

If you`d  like  to  play  the  edited  GM/GS  versions  then  look  for
XGDEMMX1.lha and the  XGDEMMX1.readme  that  accompanies this archive..
Use  MIDI Performance Manager (MPM)  by  Andreas Jung (which plays both
SMFs and Music-X Performance  files)  and  this  can  be located on the
German published "Meeting Pearls  III"  CD-ROM  available from all good
vendors..

Please feel free to e-mail me  for  information and help regarding MIDI
on the Amiga, about the MIDICraft  Magazine  or  just to let me know if
your like these XG  Music-X  files..   I`ll  probably  upload some more
good Amiga Music-X/MIDI stuff  on  Aminet   shortly,  so  look  out for
these files..

I`m a Music-X/SMF expert  with  my  own  recording  studio using Amigas
(A2000. A1200 and a A500+), I`ve also   had  an audio CD called "A Drop
in the Ocean" released  with  my  co-composer  brother, where all music
was sequenced using Amigas..  Some  Amiga  musicians/MIDI freaks on the
NET  may  remember me from the AM/FM magazine which  was  published  on
floppy  disk  by  Bjørn  Lynne (Dr. Awesome)  a couple of years ago.  I
used to write arcticles and  produce  MIDI  music  for AM/FM as one  of
The  Craft Brothers..  I've  taken  AM/FM  over  and   now   publish  a
similar  music  based  disk  magazine called MIDICraft Magazine and I'm
onto issue #11 already..
