Maybe on sept10th, the promotion will make you think about going legit <hint>

YOu need as many users as you canget and that will help. Looking forward to it! I''ll spread it  around smile
PULSELOOPER: I sample it a bunch, it's a good source.

Nice job Jorge.

This is on Wednesday and everyone who misses it (=99% of this forum) should be very sad.

This MODs anthology is rather poor. I was looking for the same recently, downloaded it and was terribly disappointed.

It's missing a lot of artists and focuses too much on chiptune. It looks like a cut-down version ofwhat "The Chip Republic" was (which I have a backup of and maybe I should upload it somewhere).
There's a LOT more to the Amiga than just chippy modfiles.

If you want a really comprehensive list, do as goto80 says, go to Modland and download the whole Protracker directory. Be ready to wait some days to get it all, that shit is massive.

Forgot to say, if you want a head start with a list of cool artists to check out, download the folders of the artists featured in Mazemod: http://www.mazemod.org/ . I find the curation of Mazemod to be excellent and well balanced on the spectrum of what forms Amiga music. It's a shame it's not updated more often (who do I have to contact to ask about this, goto80?)

Anything a club has. At the moment, I lack funds to purchase anything.
Any 2channel DJ style mixer would work. Bonus if it has effects. I'd think a Pioneer DJM-400 would be ideal, or whatever the new version of that one is.

After the gig on Wednesday I'll make another video with my new custom Protracker (and paying more attention to which tracks I already played tongue) which should let me beatmatch a lot better.

Hey TSC! Glad you dig! By the way, I rarely get here now so best way to contact me is by email, but I will check now the PM that just arrived.


I don't expect to have the two machines in tempo just because both say they are at the same BPM, even if I was playing the same tune in both. This is true of every machine, even synths, there are many factors that help to this and in the case of the Amiga since I have one running on a 00@7Mhz and the other running a 030@50Mhz, I expect to have discrepancies.

As for Protracker, it may depend on if you are using VBL or CIA replay method. I'd say both machines at CIA timing with the exact same display output (both at NTSC or PAL) should pretty much stay very close in sync if they are at exactly the same speed, but shit can go off. After all, Protracker performs ridiculously fast on accelerated machines in regards to some functions, because the software uses the CPU ticks to calculate some shit (key repeat rates for example).


The version I am using of Protracker now has serial link, so when I hit play in one machine, the second one plays too at exactly the same time. It was developed to make 8 track MODs using two machines. This is the best way to check sync, using the same module on both. But this is just because I am testing some things, I want to use the 2.X branch in my project. We've been working with Delek this weekend on a new version of ProTracker more suited to this task I am doing in the video and it's working spectacularly, so I will make a new video maybe next week (after I test this new buid of PT in my gig on Wednesday).

Everybody has been paying too much attention to the screen. I don't need bigger screens, in an ideal scenario, when I finish my tool, I don't even need any screen. Think how STJ works on the Atari, it doesn't need any display.
The control method is not suited to do this so it is a pain in the asshole. Once that changes, everything should be pretty smooth.

Thanks for checking it out!

Testing out ideas for something I am working on, I made this trainwrecked DJ set with 13 tracks in ~20 minutes playtime.

From the video description:
1x Amiga 600HD, 2MB Chip RAM running Protracker 2.3d.
1x A1200, 030@50Mhz, 2MB Chip RAM running Protracker 2.3d.
1x Akai MPD26 used as a controller for a mixing patch I made in Ableton, since I don't have a DJ mixer at the moment.

Suffice to say this shit was mighty hard, since I have to use a retarded mouse, point a tiny bit of screen on a tiny LCD screen and then it's not precise enough. So no hating on the problems beatmatching.

Next step will be to record a new one using a different version of ProTracker, and then it will be time to get busy with that sourcecode...

Damn. Looks like I have a lot of RAW-->IFF converting to do in my near future.

I understand that whatever the MOD loads can work, so RAW should be OK. IFF is just RAW data with a header anyway.
Also they only work packed in a module, I just asked that to David. Maybe next version would support straight iff/raw sample import.

AMIGA MOD SAMPLE IMPORT heart
I can use all my IFF sound sample library. Finally.

VICE has the best sound emulation outside of HOXS64
http://www.hoxs64.net/

But that one is  for Windows only.

Yes, I have basically the same spec computer (like top spec MB Pro 13") and VICE doesn't really like to have low latency on sound. Perhaps if I use my external audiocard, which is low latency, things would improve. Never tried.

ah, that sucks, my version of VICE (winvice-2.2-x64) goes down to 20ms

Mine does too but anything below 80ms is useless and choppy and makes VICE shut sound off altogether (and my computer is pretty damn powerful).
