(And, not to get snippy on you akira^8GB, but a synth simply means that it's producing the sounds. I find it ironic that you don't like samples but still want to see the synthesis capabilities of the Esoniq.)

I never ever saoid I don't like sampling, I just said I would be interested in this computer's wavetable synthesis chip! That is very different to what the SNES does (that one i am not interested in smile)

As said, wavetable synthesis is different to sample manipulation.

Listeners need to raise the bar of their hearing to avoid complimenting stuff that's questionable.
It's not like we have here anyone that wasn't also on the other site ;p

Noisetracker is a sample tracker right?
I'd be interested only in trackers that use the synthesis capabilities of the Ensoniq soundchip.

On topic, fellas. Make a new thread smile

Good one.
I wish I didn't throw mine away after the PSU blew up. D:
I can't believe how much they cost nowadays. I got a full system for less than 10 dollars!

Your volume progression is not being smooth, so those are the "clicks" I believe.
Try using a table, too.

One of my favourite tracks of back then, from one of my favourite and most influential artists:

Another one of my favourite producers of back then, this one's a classic:

Same guy, but this is my personal favourite, not much of a classic:

Another classic, some said this videoclip was created with the Amiga but I am not sure:

Proto minimal shit from the man lately known as Richie Hawtin, this is a huge classic of tribal banging shit:

Yet another favourite of back then, I still spin this one, it has aged very well (check out the bassline):

More housey beats from Roach Motel:

Classical house anthem from seminal label Yoshitoshi:

George Morel, another monster of house music:

More from ultra influential label Strictly Rhythm, this track could be mistaken within nowadays' fidget house wave:

Frankie Knuckles, no need to say more (except this tune is from 1989):

Another monster and one of the creators of the Detroit wave, Kevin Saunderson (1988 tune yikes):

Derrick May, a.k.a. Rhythim Is Rhythim (excuse the lame video)

You want electro? Juan Atkins project Cybotron can be recommended:

Arpanet:

Dynamic II (maybe my favourite electro producer):


I'm tired of posting and I need to work, I made this already too long tongue

I'm not sure, I always bought the Crystal el-cheapo soundcards, and they had the OPL3

But then they do provide a comprehensive set of tools/API/library to aid fast development and also (rightly or wrongly, stories of failure aside) support/testing/approval process to get your software to market as quickly and smoothly as possible. To my imagination, I'd say this level of support would be almost impossible with a completely open development environment as instead of checking that you're using an Apple-supplied API correctly, they'd also have to scrutinise your API at a low-level and that multiplies the time and money input from Apple by a big number.

This is the exact same model that left independent developers out of publishing on any Nintendo platform. Devkit controlled by Nintendo, "Nintendo seal of aproval" bullshit and what not. I bet by now we all like "black market" dev kits right? smile

What if you spent a whole deal of time on your app and Apple doesn't approve it? You'll be pissed at the amount of time you wasted. Because many times, it's not about quality control, but content (like the C64 emulator that wasn't allowed to be distributed). I appreciate there's quality control and support from them, but not content filtering and control of distribution.

I'm just saying, I understand your point, but it shouldn't be that way AT ALL. The Apps store shouldn't exist.

"SoundBlaster Pro compatible" is that a good sign, or does compatible mean it won't be an actual opl3?

Back in the day it meant it had an OPL3 chip, but I don't know about that in LAPTOPS, I always had desktops with SB compatible, OPL3 packing soundcards.
