Very interesting.. well is too late for current prod as it's being release on the weekend - but I think I will bug the coder for arkos use in the future 
Thanks for the info!

Ok thanks 
Yeh I have tried the win port of Arkos before, but the coder needs pt3 format.
I did end up the fixing the songs though, I changed to another smaller simpler drum sound, so not sure exactly why it was overloading..(maybe pitch change was too extreme).

Topic: vortex tracker pt3 playback problem on CPC (5 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
First, I'm completely new to tracking with AY... and completely new to amstrad CPC
Anyway I made some songs for a CPC musicdisk, most are ok but some have issues.
The songs were create with Vortex Tracker II v1b19 on (windoze)
This issue is where there are two kick samples play close together, on CPC the second hit sounds quiet/squashed, and sometimes distort.
It's only standard volume command supplied to the kicks;
c-4 ...C
c-4 ...F
Here is audio file to hear the problem. First is correct play on vortex, second is on CPC with issue.
Anyone know why this happen?
