The Effects Machine by Robert Slater Copyright © 1990 Amiga Computing A Quick Starter Double click on the EffectsMachine icon and the program will boot. Once it has booted, wait for a few seconds while it initialises the pull down menus. Next select Projects/Quick Load and type in the following: CD011:TEM/sounds/piano.snd Then press Return and wait for the sample to load from disk. Once it has loaded, click on the PLAY gadget and, voila, the sample will play. If you want to experiment quickly, select Effects/Flip and wait for few seconds. Then click on PLAY again, and the sample will sound backwards. You can pull the Effects Machine screen down by positioning the mouse pointer at the far top-right of the screen, where there is a little gap in the title bar. Press the left mouse button and drag when you are as far right as you can go. For detailed instructions see the September 1990 issue of Amiga Computing.
