[Coco] Ultimuse collections

[Bill Pierce]

Bob,
I just went through the disks and it seems the 2nd City disks were the only ones that wouldn't read. I now have them fixed and back up.
I'm still going to go through them and convert the scores to GM. Seeing as how there's 35 RTSI disks & 5 2nd City disks, it may take awhile. I'll do the 2nd City disks first since that what you're looking for.

Do you have any files not in these collections? If so could you send them to me? I can add them to the archives.

Thanks

Bob, the ume file in the archive and on my site (I think they're the same), are 
from the RTSI collection which I think was part of the Delphi collection. And 
yes, I too think there was more of them.

The disks you're referring to were by Ed Hathaway from Second City Software, the 
Ultimuse3 distributor. I think some songs from that collection are also in the 
ume collection found on RTSI as "individual" files as well. I have them on my 
site but currently there is a problem with the disk files. I had inadvertently 
saved them in DMK format. I just recently changed them back to JVC but now they 
won't read in Vcc (but do read in dw4) so I'm going through them again. I should 
have them fixed before the end of the week. The files I have that don't seem to 
be in the archives are:

2nd City Library Beatles 1.dsk
2nd City Library Beatles 2.dsk
2nd City Library Beatles 3.dsk
2nd City Library Led Zepplin 1.dsk
2nd City Library Ulti-Rock.dsk

I also have a collection for Lyra from Rulaford Research & Musiware:

Lyra Trax Disk 1 - Gospel ser-3.dsk
Lyra Trax Disk 2 - Pop & Rock ser-32.dsk
Lyra Trax Disk 3 - Christmas ser-62.dsk
Lyra Trax Disk 4 - James Bond ser-112.dsk
Lyra Trax Disk 5 - Classical ser-101.dsk
Lyra Trax Disk 6 - Classical ser-91.dsk

As I said, I should have them readable again in a day or so. The Lyra disks have 
been fixed.
I'm also going to go through them and convert the songs to General Midi as most 
are unplayable in DW4 Midi without setting DW4 Midi Profiles for each one.

BTW... have you tried my new release of Ultimuse3 v10.11.3A ? It now supports 
DW4 Midi Device & Profile selection as well as "live" internet software updating 
(via dw4). I also did away with the need for external "tmode", "pwd" and fixed 
that annoying bell sound.

There's also a new version of Lyra on the Lyra page that will play through dw4 
and Becker Port (Coco or Vcc) accessing HDBDOS's 255 drives (mods by Robert 
Gault & myself).

I'm a user of Mike Knudsen's Ultimuse 3 (and the 68K version), and love to 
collect the music score files.

At one time there was an advertiser who had some disks with files from a 
particulat group or singer. The beatles was one, and I remember Billy Joel. I 
have One Billy Joel virtual album, but I haven't been able to locate either the 
adverts or the files of the other file groupings.

Does anyone here have .ume files that are not already on the 
colorcomputerarchive.com collection?

P.S. Ed Hathaway's name just popped into my mind. Was he the creator of those 
collections?
