was 5.5 the last windows version of whch you speak? does it use dongles or serials?
yep i was getting totally mixed up with PT free, which was why i could never find it!
++VST? get out! 
All I need is 4 audio tracks, 4 midi tracks and an EMU sampler. Sick and tired of being a slave to ableton. I love it, but im giving the whole modern computer software a break (except piggy tracker)
see first post
and yep they deffo released it for free. pretty sure its called logic free and works only on windows 98/me or something daft!
this may be why i cant find it. am i thinking of pro tools free and logic fun?! think so!
anyone using a power pcc mac can go grab protools for free; just google it, let google take you to the avid page where its hosted, create an account and wait, the page says its not available but a download pops up automatically with the installer. Success!
thats not what ive read/ heard! something like 16 audio tracks and unlimited midi tracks! comes pretty highly rated from all round methinks.
+ am i the only one who feels that the mode machines thing is vaguely scam-like in some way? deffo setting off alarm bells since i saw that. maybe the fact its pretty clearly heavily derived from xoxbox and sammichsid. and the demo video was the biggest let down ive ever seen.
hey OP the guy who says you cant use mssiah without modding shit is off his face.
You dont need to solder shit if youve got some midi hardware with knobs that send cc's (like a midi keyboard with faders on or whatever) And the sound is of course a c64. 4mat and all are very right when they say a lot of the character comes from the idisynchrosies of the programming the sid via tracker/ editor interface, but that guys like a veteran of the scene! Most (vaguely chip oriented) people will just hear that classic PWM occasionally clunking timings and go, mmmm C64!!!
on the cheap/ easy route you have mssiah/ goat tracker/ (++sid duzz it?? not sure)
on the cheap and hard (and maybe not worth it) you have cybertracker.
and all the rest fall into paying a load for some discontinued or small run synthesizer hardware using the sids as hearts; sidstation (too expensive, limited compared to sammich) hardsid (just sits at your PC in a rack with like no controls) sammichSID (discontinued) and MFB xxxx (midibox SID x 8; daunting if noob with building electronics, sourcing the parts seems the scary bit)
so really it is not an easy solution for you; either man up and learn SID music programming and a tracker, and pony up and prize someones sammich/ sidstation out of their hands or buy a load of stuff to build the expanded midibox sid.
i say, download goattracker, and try buy mssiah. use both until youre sure u will or wont get into trying to learn Goat. then save up and get hold of a midibox sid of some kind 
well the cover is amazing. il get back to you with thoughts on the tunes!
Logic Free (Windows, pre xp?)
http://www.dirk-bechtel.de/download/LogicFunPC.zip
not got access to a pc for a day or two, feel free to check this and report back if it works. it seems like it will.
Pro Tools Free (Mac OS9 / PPC OSX)
http://akmedia.digidesign.com/products/ … 0_4901.hqx
go to the page, set up and account, let it take you back to the page and bingo, it should appear.
presumably, you'll be using a pre intel mac osX machine, in which case LOADING CLASSIC ENVIRONMENT WONT WORK. you need to go to system prefs> startup disks> restart in os9 (not just open classic) or else you'l get a DAE error xxxx. You also need OMS 2.3+ installed to make it work.
hope this helps someone.
As i mentioned b4 the edit, ive been looking for these for years to no avail. one morning here and ive grabbed them both in 30 mins! (tho logic is not yet confirmed by myself)
so do i buy this or get a nice fat 1/8th instead?
Tough call

Midi in as a mapping destination is in the latest pi ghetto, but chains is next on my wish list too !
what do you mean by mapping destination?
it sounds like youre saying you can play a sample via midi but cant record the notes with one? but im hopefully misunderstanding.
midi control of chains would be the biggest thing to happen to piggy since like, ever.
likewise, except based in UK. PM me plz
+1 for live, and for piggy.
just shell out the money for live, forget the trial lol.
and piggy is free, ur used to lsdj, it has a computer version (or 2/3??) and has sample start offset.
you litterally dont need anything other than the pig and ur gameboi/lsdj
its cz yerz is cool.
tis slightly hypocritical of site operators though
colors ds, repeater ds, protein ds
cells ds if I had LUA knowledge, or if anyones made any decent modules for it in the last few years.
Haha, I thought Silph Scope was being a dick at first.
Thanks for that!
