Meanwhile, I'm keeping an eye out for one of the original CD-R copies so I can figure out what the hell the track listing was Shame they were all stolen on one of the Chiptune Alliance tours... I'll figure it out, though

Check under Feryl's mattress.

EDIT: I know I'm late, but whatever!

Also: keep an eye out over the next few months for a remastered re-release of Greatest Bits!

I keep my eyes on the sky awaiting the bit signal.

EDIT: I understand you have had new work recently besides this, but several years ago I remember reading on your website you were going on hiatus and never visited again. Very nice to be re-introduced to your work after a few years now.

(...and a remastered Greatest Bits!!)

Thank you so much Syphus!!!!

YERZMYEY - as akira says, no extra audio hardware, just an insanely powerful Amiga I wrote my Hively stuff when I had an 060 (I sold it not long ago), and Hively needs the 060 mainly to run its GUI and large screen resolution - the multichannel software mixing probably doesn't need quite as much power, but there's little point running Hively on anything less. Actually, even with an 060 there's a lot of lag on the keys, etc. But consider that it was originally coded for AmigaOS, running on 233mhz+ PPCs with video cards etc. - the version for classic Amiga is a port that buzz^exotica made after I nagged xeron for aaaages to give him the sourcecode ;D

So Hively mixes all its channels into one audio buffer stream, then uses AHI, an audio interface layer for various Amiga operating systems, to point that stream at hardware - whether it's a SoundBlaster card in a towered Amiga, a VIA chip onboard one of those expensive SAM motherboards, or a plain old Paula chip on an A1200 which will spit out anything you feed into it, like all those mp3s used in demos for the last ten years or so

Good suggestion though YERZMYEY - I'll write up some technical details for people's curiosity and add them

For instance - the HivelyTracker: does it require some additional sound-card to get 12 channels on Amiga? .

Nope, you just need an insanely powerful Amiga ;/

Will listen at work. A certaon someone must be jizzing its pants right now ....
