Yerzmyey - Shining otherworldly

(C) & (P) in 2025

Total time: 26:27 min.

Tracklist:

01 Plasma dance in the ionosphere
02 Galactor attacks!
03 NO TRACKER
04 Shining otherworldly
05 Back in Time
06 Trip to Italy
07 Magic Runes


Hello after 6-years break. ;-)
This time I wanted to make entire album in the MIDI technology and connect some synths (both: modern and vintage ones) to two classic computers: Atari ST and Amiga 500 to check out the workflow. To test how they - and their software - compare to modern DAWs.
So, from me the modern DAWs obtain 0/10 point and Amiga/Atari computers with their MIDI software obtain 10/10. For comfort, ease of use, no lags whatsoerver and so on. And additionally in the Amiga case - for graphic aesthetics of the program.

I'm afraid I have no idea about those matters, they took our material and they do with it whatever they please. I was just an author and now it kinda lives its own life, You know.

Hey,
thx mate!
Well, I don't know much about Youtube matters, I just uploaded the video, but still - the scroll might be hard to read due to original ZX refreshing rate VS pc's refreshing rate, I dunno, to be honest.
All the best,
Y

Hi therrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

On 14.07.2018, at the Warsaw event FamiCON 2018, we played with Pinokio a chiptune concert using NES/FamiCom console, ZX Spectrum, Atari 130XE, drums and synths.


There are some small fragments on the Net, so just to let You know we're not entirely dead:


Some photos are here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/FAMICON10-kon … o-2018.zip



Enjoy & all the best for You all.

PS: Pinokio's son Lambert helped us with mixing (thx).

Thanks a lot. smile
Well, funnily enough - I was thinking about getting the Pi Zero too. smile
Who knows, maybe I will manage. wink Playing concerts from such a tiny thing might be interesting. wink
Anyway - if You have anything made with Your Pi - let us know!! big_smile

Hey guyz,
thx so much!

Well, I really can recommend the MilkyTracker. Of course one has to prepare samples on another computer (PC?) or has to use some downloaded collection, but entire composing process can be easily done on the RPi.

For the newest Raspbian system in the Raspberry Pi 3 downloading and installing would be like this:
Preferences / Add - Remove Software / now search for "milky" word & install the prog.

For the Pi 2 and old Raspbian - there is a problem as those f*ckers closed the Pi Shop (or however it was called back then, I can't remember now).

My friend from Atari 8bit scene - thePink - says that instead one should use the "apt get" command or something like that.

As for the samples, my favourite portal was the Music Radar:
http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/fre … tis-627820
It's also cool for Atari ST and Amiga dudez who look for cool samples for to use in their MODs. Of course in this case the converting into 8bit/mono would be required.

I hope that helps! big_smile

Hi guys.

The Raspberry Pi sounds good too. wink

https://yerzmyey.bandcamp.com/album/rpi-zwei

YERZMYEY - RPi ZWEI

01 RPi Zwei
02 Ursula (part 2)
03 Alien encounter
04 Wake Hime
05 Digital Garbage RPi's Remix

TT: 19:15 min.

This album has been made on Raspberry Pi 2.
Also, it has been recorded entirely & directly from the machine.

The RPi's sound is being generated by the Broadcom BCM2835 chip (for the 1st model of RPi) and by Broadcom BCM2836 chip (in the 2nd model RPi), so it's resolved somewhat like in ZX Spectrum: the sound is being generated by CPU.

They say it works with 11 bit quality. It's not an actual DAC, it is a digital PWM module (gives a 'pulse width modulated' signal) working with frequency around 40MHz and it is low-pass-filtered.
The original Pi sound is warm'n'soft; doesn't remind thousands of razors.

Some people claim RPi isn't good for music.
They are WRONG.
