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

Good one.
Although I don't hide I'd gladly hear some Syphus' album made entirely on Amiga + some technical blah in TXT.

Well, I don't know if anybody will record it. It is possible, I suppose.

Come guys. Might be fun. (Or not, if I will be drunk too much. As usual. Hm.)
Analog: Pokey will be present there too. Believe me.
Ovenrake: Well, it's perfectly normal country. Like any other else. Also, You have the same currency like in the most of Europe. And people are more interested in pointless fun. Which I like the most, hahaha.
Irrlichtproject: We will talk on the place. Hm. Possibly, who knows.
By the way - do You know about the newest ZX48 NINE-CHANNELS ENGINE??????

Hehe, I found on YouTube a really good ZX Spectrum chiptune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUboNIsMvsg
being a cover of "Triple Baka" Japanese pop funny song.
PS: Original is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRQTZC3uNW4 and actually it's very 'chiptunish' itself.

Do these work on an XE Game System too?
Yes, but You'd must have a keyboard for it.
My friend has XEGS with all those modifications (in a way he has also a SoundBoard because he's a betatester). Works very good for him.

Re: Atari 8-Bit Wonders by Candle (12 replies, posted in Atari)
SoundBoard isn't actually ready yet, and _maybe_ it could be ready at the end of this year.
It will have 16 digital channels in 8bit quality (maybe with filters possibility), plus some synthesizer (maybe FM) plus Pokey's emulator.
Now they're trying to make a SID-play on it.
Seems like 8Mb of RAM will be on-board.
Ah - and what's important: small usage of the computer's main CPU will be required.

Re: Amiga sampler software [SOLVED] (12 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
Well yes - that's another problem.
There were 2 kinds of Amiga samplers.
WITH volume-setting potentiometer and WITHOUT. I have both however I was using the one with the potentiometer.
You will have to play sounds not too loud (because of distortion) and not too silent (because then the sample might be more silent than 8bit noise, heh).
It should be possible to do, after several attempts.
Good luck!!!!

RG wrote:You could sample directly into Octamed; does Protracker sample direct?
I tried to sample directly into Octamed, but the monitoring sounded like shit. Don't know why.
That's not so obvious, Pulse.
When You press "MONITOR" it sounds crap. But then You should start sampling and test the sample. It will sound OK somehow.
In this way, after several experiments You will be able to set up a proper volume and sample sounds by Yourself and Your Amiga only.
Another weird thing: it will be possible such samples (not coming from PC but made on Amiga itself) will not work on other "small/oldschool" computers.
For instance samples for some Atari 800XL music I made in 1994 on Amiga 500. They don't work properly on the XL, although all other songs (with samples make on PC) work OK on the Atari.
Ah well, just a curioristy anyway.

Re: Atari Falcon: my first song (7 replies, posted in Atari)
Akira: thx again.
I know it was a joke, I slowly start to recognize those new emoticons, like XD hehehe. (I know, I'm old ).
Also You're 100% right about the Amiga's chiptunes.
Ant1: Thanx, man.
Well, yes - Falcon also has AY, like ST (Japanese version of course, slightly different than ST/e but with no differences on sound). Sadly You can't mix it in real time with fully powerful samples-engines. Actually it's a pity, You're right.
Also, Falcon can make synthetic (chiptune-like too) sounds in the way like Akira described in relation to Amiga (in a way). 505 used to make music with it and AceTracker (thanx God that 505 didn't abandoned Falcon).

Re: Atari Falcon: my first song (7 replies, posted in Atari)
Pulselooper: thx dude.
Akira, I thought it sounds like Amiga. Well - 2,5 Amigas.
Anywayz - that's why I put it here as another curiosity of Atari machines, and not to music section (which would be stupid of course).
All: Well, actually Akira gave me material to think of. What I mean is - loads of people make so-called "fake-bit" - music sounding like chiptunes but on modern machines (with huge source files).
By the way, I have nothing against such music, actually I pretty like it too.
So - technically such music (but made on Atari Falcon) would be fakebit too.
On the other hand, it would be made on really old and oldschool machine, released in 1992 (so older than tons of GameBoys ).
Then - would it be fakebit or not?
Anyway probably one day I will make some micromusic on Falcon too, heh.
(Then Akira will eat me ).

Topic: Atari Falcon: my first song (7 replies, posted in Atari)
Yo,
finally I made my very first song for Falcon 030 (16Mhz, 4Mb RAM) in the Digital Home Studio editor.
http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/YERZMYEY-Amai.mp3
10 channels (actually a bit too many for 16Mhz CPU, so it went to a bit lower quality in 14th position. Then I got it back to start and recorded all in the one quality, without any "clicks" while the quality-change appeares).
Work with the Home Digital Studio isn't bad however sometimes the program can be not very stable.
For standard Falcon owners - probably the most safe number of used channels would be max. 9.
Greetzzz.
