Hi elmussol,

Is this a "pun too far"? I have no idea about the origin of Ample as the language for running the Music 500 synthesiser for the BBC micro. It's documented as Forth-like, and was probably my only real experience of such languages.

I did manage to code (transcribe) some music back in the day, though the BBC Micro couldn't manage anything of any length due to it storing the Ample in RAM.

I found the following about the Music 500, which I'd hoarded with the intention of maybe doing a show about it. Id' have to resurrect my BBC Micro and find the Music 500 to do it though!
