My home setup is a netbook with an emulator and my tracker maxYMiser.

This reminds me... have you tried the ST emulator on the DS running Maxymiser?

Well I dunno how it was until now, but I'll be sure to stirr some shit up big_smile
Comptroller: would have been great to have you around. Perhaps the next one you can!

True, true.
The lame screenshot software I use doesn't take a screenshot of Protracker, so excuse the lame monitor-shot tongue


(yes, I know it's widescreen. I kinda like it that way big_smile)

OK next party we'll fly to East Brooklyn, New York, to make it really dangerous tongue
(I wish!)

We thought early, because places close at 2Am you know? I'll post as soon as we have the definitive info.

Unless with 12 to 5 you mean 12 in the afternoon to 5 in the afternoon, you gonna miss this like a lil' bitch tongue

The ultimate is a much more complex device than just a floppy emulator, hence its price.

Plus/4, C16 and VIC20 dont necesarily have the cartridge port. The SX64 doesnt so this wouldnt work with it,.

It is also NOT a diskdrive emulator from what I see, it's based on SD2IEC. It doesn't emulate the workings of a 1541 device perfectly, so you can only use games that have been patched to use with these devices.
SD2IEC devices are cheaper than 60 euros.


In all, this is not an ideal solution.

If I didn't tell you which one is which and if there was no artifaction on sample looping on the SNES version, the two tunes are exactly the same.

You could make this argument about any chip synth though

But this is exactly the "problem", the SNES has no synthesis chip at all.

You could probably make a really interesting SNES chippy synth using short chip like sound waveforms (possibly even generated) and taking advantage of the SNES DSP's inbuilt realtime echo, noise generator, ADSR and FIR filter abilities btw *grin* - frankly it would be a beast yikes)

Now ThAT is something very interesting.

Winamp shouldn't be let anywhere near a MOD

Nobody discounts it, rather, you can obtain same or very similar effects without a SNES in sight, since there is no synthesis going on.   What 'tone' do you mean?
I surely associate certain sounds with the SNES, but that would be all.
Of course, for those actually wanting to deploy music on the hardware, tools are needed to hear what you are gonna get. But doing it just to obtain a certain aesthetic is what is usually 'disregarded'

You forgot to put a date tongue

Akira, your new avatar reminded me of that promised screenie of your PT2.3

Yep, I didn't take it. Sorry!
Granted, I don't use this red nonsense, it would kill my eyes! This was just fabricated for the avatar tongue
I also remembered that I wanted to hack the graphics with PTPrefs and I never ended up finishing that...

And yes, we definitely reused samples. Making good ones was an art-form and often took a lot of trial and error (optimising sample sizes and loop points etc.) so when you had ones that worked you got as much use out of them as you could big_smile

This is not bad nor abnormal, lots of peopple tdid this in many platforms.

For example, you can to listen to Allistair Brimble's tunes on the Amiga, most of them done for Team 17. Samples are shared among them and many times even some jingles and tunes are revisited.
