You mean audio clips or midi clips?

I mean midi clips. 4,8, 16 bar loops mostly

Got it, vsts.


Hah. Well, I personally have a fetish for having physical hardware in sync, but I don't suppose it'd hurt to get myself acquainted with the Sid chip/st on conceptual/sound levels before I go shelling out my allowance.

Thanks for the responses, everyone!

Edit: actually, I have one more question:
Are there any solutions for the ST that give ableton-like clip launching for different tracks? (Odd thing perhaps to request from a 1980s machine, but I want to make it happen somehow)

If you want midi, use atari...
You can also get a MiST fpga box which has a smaller form factor, and can do atari, amiga, c64, spectrum.... (and midi as well)


Hm. Atari seems interesting (looking up the ST and realising it has CUBASE of all things makes me very interested, actually. )

Hi, I don't post on the site particularly often, but as I work more on my music and listen to other's I find that I want to expand my hardware selection, specifically into the commodore realm.

First off, here's what I'm asking:

I'm looking for an oldschool machine to send midi clock & notes to all my other hardware ( 2 x LSDJ DMGs, microbrute, rack mount FM synth, possibly one other thing in the future).
I think the c64 or Amiga could accomplish this, but I'm only vaguely familiar with all their features.

I know generally the c64 is famous for its Sid chip and the Amiga series can do pretty serviceable tracker sequencing using samples, but I'm not entirely sure--could someone please steer me in the right direction?

Hello! I'm Ricky. I've been fascinated by chiptunes for the past two years or so, but I just recently got a DMG and am making a personal commitment to write more (and hopefully better) chiptunes. I have some pseudo-FM-y simple stuff right here if you'd like to check it out:

I haven't focused terribly on using the whole gamut of sounds possible on the YM2612 or the Gameboy, but hey that's what a new year's resolution is for! I hope to make--and listen to--a lot more music than I have, and I hope to get acquainted with some of the people here who've inspired me to look at a gameboy as a musical instrument.
