That an editor for such a synth would not allow
you to play it from an external controller would seem
counterproductive. Yet this is just the situation pre-
sented by both Dr. T's and Sound Quest's programs.
Both product lines let you play the instrument you
are editing only by clicking the right mouse button:
high notes on the right of the screen, lows notes on
the left. This is not an effective, real-world way to
test the usefulness of a patch. For wind and guitar
controllers, for which aftertouch and pitchbend are
essential, it is useless. Even with a keyboard, unless
you patch and repatch your MIDI connections each
time you make an edit, these programs give you no
way to test a sound's response to aftertouch, mod
wheel or pitch bend movements, or any tonal subtlety
but velocity,which you control by the mouse's vertical
position.

A drawer is simply a named holding
place. It can contain tools, projects, or
even other drawers-allowing you to or-
ganize your information hierarchically.
For example, you might have a Taxes
drawer that contains one drawer for
each year, and in each year's drawer
store the tax spreadsheets for that year.
All four of these basic Amiga informa-
tion objects-disks, drawers, tools, and
projects-have icons that you can see
and manipulate, at least in the Work-
bench environment. As you might al-
ready know, the Amiga is a two-headed
beast: In addition to the icon-oriented
Workbench, there is a command-line
user interface, the CLI (also referred to
as the Shell in AmigaDOS 1.3). The Ct.I
uses the same basic information objects
as the Workbench, but it gives some of
them different names. Disks are still
disks, but drawers are listed as directo- ~
ries. The CLI also treats projects and left mouse buuon (again with the pointer cerning every object. You can see such

(which works only with the Ensoniq
Mirage), there has been no Amiga soft-
ware to support the multitude of profes-

All of this is changing now with the re-
lease of the MIDI Sample Wrench by
dissidents software. With this program
you can transfer waveforms to the Amiga
from any sampler that supports the
MMA Sample Dump Standard, a format
set forth by the MIDI Manufacturers As-
sociation for the transfer of sound sam-
ples through MIDI. Once loaded into
the 'Wrench, samples can be modified

phisticated editing features with high-fi-
