`15.Aug.2013` Amigaworld.net (Forum)	Interview: Mike Oldfield used an Amiga Under the title link the singer Mike Oldfield ("Moonlight Shadow") told in an interview that at the end of the 80ies he used an Amiga to compose his album "Amarok": Interviewer: "Musician friends of mine continue to marvel at Amarok. They can't understand how you made something that complex prior to Pro Tools or Logic." Mike Oldfield: "And it was all hand-played as well. I used a very primitive sequencer and sampler that was a precursor to Notator, which became Logic. It was on a primitive computer called an Amiga. I would arrive every morning and plot something out in skeleton form, put it on the multitrack and say to Tom "Okay, we're going to work on that. That's the little sketch." Everything on top of that sketch was hand-played. There were no synthesizers. Eventually, we threw away the sketch. That was the technique of working on it."

`15.Aug.2013` Andre "Ratte" Pfeiffer (ANF)	Monitor switcher: SwitchControl with experimental DPMS-support SwitchControl is used to control different self-made monitor-switcher. In this way graphic boards without a monitor-switcher (BVision, PCI-graphic boards) can be used together with an Amiga monitor. In the experimental version 1.1d of SwitchControl the DPMS-support was added: SwitchControl set the AGA-output to "suspend" and waits a few seconds before it switches to the graphic board. In this way perhaps some sync-problems can be fixed which may occur in the combination of Micovitec M1764, 15khz and graphic board. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 15.

In version 1.2c the user-interface has been "cleaned up". The author now explained that he is not going to develop version 2 because Sodipodi (under AmiCygnix) and AmiFig are already available as similar software. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 13.
