AMPLE Music Archive
Back in the late 80's, Hybrid released a hardware synthesizer for the BBC micro computer called the Music 500. The software that drove it used a new programming language, designed specifically for music, called AMPLE. They later released a software upgrade and called it the Music 5000.
Searching the web will turn up a few pages (see links below) with some music, but not many, so as I've got more music than I could find, I thought I ought to start an archive of AMPLE music.
If any of the owners of the work listed below would like me to remove their work, please let me know, and I'll happily remove it.
