Presets have dealt a whole lot of damage to electronic music ;p
Thanks for the explanation.

wow thats interesting - i didnt even know about this

Surprised, I thought you made music at least once on every computer available to mankind, worldwide, ever smile

The SAM is a very cool machine, but ultimately another machine that sounds like anything you can do with a Speccy or Atari ST (save for extra voices tongue)

OK , OK, I am just trying toconvince myself not to buy yet another computer i will hardly use tongue I always wanted a SAM


Oh,m this is interesting:

(came in) their Sound Blaster 1.0 cards (also 1.5 and 2.0 if you added it on). However that card also had an OPL2 chip (aka YM3812), which became much more popular.

That would be awesome, OPL2 + one of these? I wonder if any sotware came hat uses these SB1.0 cards to the full potential!

In your opinion what is better?  Theta Music Composer or Black Magic Composer?  I've been considering getting into POKEY music and I'm curious.

I suppose Tinctu is related to the development of RMT and will  recommend RMT, none of those two you mention, man tongue

This is a wild guess but, I don't think the samples would be stored in any sort of compressed way (just 4-bit linear PCM data), so you can try and load the ROM in a DAW or sound editor as RAW DATA and see where the samples are. You can get an approximate location offset that you can late peek at with your hex editor.
(just a whack idea, this is the shit i used to do with my Amiga, i never learned asm tongue)
Maybe that made sense?

A pro would disassemble the code and data, then recompile the whole thing again.

Can we change the sounds? No offense, but the default selection sounds lame and it would be much more rewarding to be able to use yoru own stuff.
More tools for the II should be made!

I suppose it all depends on the ROM? It's not like data is stored at the same place in every software.
You will have to disassemble that thing, which I don't think is easy or pretty. But knowing the exact location of sound data won't be easy.

Can you use only one pokey with this tracker?
Let me rephrase: can you export music that can be played back in a 1 POKEY Atari?

It's interesting that the MP3 can be decoded in real time. The sound quality is the usual awful 4-bit smile
I don't think there's even MP3 decoders for 68000 Amigas!

I tried this two different days before I reported the error.
I'll try again, but I doubt it's a connectivity issue.
Also, as soon as it failed, I uploaded using my PC with Firefox and it worked, so it can't be the Internets.

Hmm I think it must be like 2 years old, not more.
Safari would still be faster, regardless. I'm fine with it, usually the extensions drain a lot of CPU and I like o use them so it;s best if I don't have them big_smile

HOwever I wonder why the music upload fails in her computer and not here. Maybe a cookie issue?

You made this suggestion already. There is a thread about it.

Firefox has serious performance issues. Safari is much faster. That's what lead me to go back to Safari after a lot of time using FF in my Mac. I need my apps to work zippy fast. I don't knowhow you can stand it in Tiger, it was specially bad on PPC.
