Yo, thanks for documenting this legendary piece of software. I hope someone will actually make some music with it, haven't heard any new MCS tunes in the past, ermmm, 30 years or so??? Btw MCS also exists for the Apple ][ (actually the Apple version is the original).

hehe, I have version 3D, too. However I don't actually care about sound quality, I'm planning to use it for beeper 
Btw http://z80.i-demo.pl has some Qjeta tracks in beeper glory, if you're interested.

Re: SAMPLETRACKER on ZX Spectrum. (34 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Oh boy, what an act just to get this working. As a friend of mine often says: The worst work is the work you have to do in order to actually do the work you want to do. Trying to figure out RC now. Already found out that Escape toggles keyboard language (I wonder what button it is on a real machine.) But how do you rename something? Keep in mind I don't speak Russian 
edit: nevermind, figured out how to rename files. (If anybody is interested, it's key 6.) ST doesn't seem to be too keen on actually playing back the sample though. Well, maybe it's too short or something. Will check that out tomorrow, I've had enough for today

Re: SAMPLETRACKER on ZX Spectrum. (34 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Hehe thanks man... saw this post earlier but couldn't log into cm.org again, thanks to Vodafone and their crappy IP pool.
So, finally I found the .scl version on some Russian website. Got AMD, too. Created a blank .trd, and copied an unsigned 8bit 16kHz drum sample to it. Loaded the tracker in FUSE, attached .trd image with the sample, click LOAD SAMPLE and... NO SAMPLES FOUND. Arrghhh! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm complete clueless.
One more question, does ST support looping of samples?

Re: Protracker STe Question (25 replies, posted in Atari)
Been trying to wrap my head around it for some time now, but I just can't figure it out. How do I change the octave, for example? And more importantly, how do I prepare a .tap with samples that will actually work? So, if you'd open up a tutorial thread, I'd greatly appreciate it (and possibly some other people here, too).

Nice, thanks for sharing, man!
Btw will these work correctly on ZX-Sampletracker?

OOOOLLLDDDD. but nontheless great. Ilmarque really outdid himself on this one. And I hope there will be more 2600 demos this year.

If I remember correctly, the absence of a stereo RCA output indicates that this is indeed a STFM, not an STE.

Well i downloaded ZXSpin and gave me a virus. Fuck.
That's unlikely, it's just some virus scanners don't like Spin. Btw you could probably use just about any other decent ZX emulator as well.
The song isn't too bad, ccould be developed further though. Anyway, thanks for sharing, LamptonWorm.

Re: 1-Bit Music Goes Handheld - Speccy routines on TI82 (35 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Theoretically it would work, but only with a few modifications to the code. TI83+ has a different cpu speed, and possibly different port numbers. Also you'd need to adapt the code to whatever asm shell you're using on the 83+ (Ion is the #1 choice, I believe).
If you want to try out these routines on your 83+, I can try to make an 83+ version. Unfortunately it'll take a while since I'm busy with other stuff atm.

it's already pretty bad - no respect for user's privacy whatsover, and offering paypal as the only choice for the money part.
sadly, there aren't any viable alternatives at the moment.

Re: Coding a tracker: Where to start? (14 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
i have yet to find a good manual/tutorial for that - so i'd welcome some pointers, too.
got one for you: maybe you'd want to have a look at the source code for shiru's 1tracker - http://shiru.untergrund.net/files/src/1tracker_src.zip
it's for windows though, haven't got it to build on linux yet, though some people supposedly have http://shiru.untergrund.net/1bit/pivot/ … d=194#comm
good luck xD
