And now for something completely different...

I am very interested in the sound and MIDI-features of the
ST, but I have some questions:

-	What are the possibilities of the built in music chip and
	what are the builtin GEMDOS system calls to use them?
	I already recovered the sound(x,vol,pitch,oct) and wave()
	calls, but I don't know yet how to use different voices etc.

-	Is this chip really as bad as some people suggest? Then I
	would rather use the MIDI-connections, since I have in mind
	to buy a MIDI-synthesizer soon. Anybody knows of some
	(coming) software for MIDI-applications?

I'd appreciate the experiences and opinions of some other (music)-
interested ST-owners. Thanx,


Raoul.
