Hi,

I have been getting into chiptune composing a lot lately and been really enjoying it, brings back so many nostalgic feelings. One of my favourite game soundtracks of all time has to be that of 'Tyrian' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCSZfVC2tR0 if you don't know its awesomeness) and I would love to be able recreate some of those sounds for use in my own compositions.

After some searching I found the music was created using something called the' Loudness Sound System Adlib Tracker', I was wondering if anyone has any idea if this is available anywhere or if it is even possible to compose music using these sounds? I am having a hard time finding anything through searching and I figured if anyone is going to know anything about it, they would be here smile

Thanks

You're probably best to run it in dosbox or boxer unless you have a soundblaster card.

Hey thanks a lot, I checked it out, it's a long way away from Cubase! Could be some time before I get anything resembling music out of it smile

Oxygenstar did a pretty good tutorial to get you started.

Sounds like the perfect tracker to mimic some 303 acid basslines :]

Not really.

Adlib uses FM synthesis.
A 303 is pretty much about a filtered saw or square. You could do it here, but theres much better ways to do it than FM.
