Yeah, some new art would be better than how fast can he copy something else pixel-for-pixel!

B00daw talked about a mod to pce tool, and showed a song made with it. It was good. The future is bright! smile

Happy birthday. smile

I'm not into punk really (at all), but I enjoyed the album a lot, it was really fun. smile

I was expecting something totally different after I read a few comments/reviews of this EP. Looks like the joke was on me. What an awful album. Mind you.. I largely dislike dance music and I was hoping for an electronic punk release to make my day a little better. The lyrics automatically made me think of a child learning the power of profanity for the 1st time. Garbage.

Have you ever even been to a festie? How many vinals do you have?

pixls, it should just be:

ppmckc infile

(if the file is infile.mml)

Depending on how you've organised your stuff, you might end up having to do something like:

bin/ppmckc.exe songs/song/infile

Great, I'm glad the first one went so well too! smile

I find it funny how everyone mentions the C64 and Amigas.

Yeah, it's strange that people would have C64s and Amigas on a website about music very often made with C64s and Amigas. wink

I hate the keyboard on my A500 though, it's really "mushy" (I don't think it's that way with all Amigas though, just mine is a bit dodgy). I quite like the low travel and small keys of my laptop's built in keyboard, but unfortunately it has no numpad, so I have to use a "proper" keyboard. sad

oh fair few things in computer music that ive seen as well.

Yep, they cover it a lot. Last issue there was someone talking about Apple IIGS synthesizers, they've had Aegis Sonix (Amiga Softsynth), a big article on chipmusic, reviewed Chipsounds and an article with David from Plogue, plus their monthly column on trackers and the demoscene and the monthly "totally trackers" section (not really chip, but whatever tongue) all in the last few months.

Also, I'm pretty sure one of the staff made this! smile

Apparently there was a big interview (more than 5 pages) with a few of the C64 greats in some gaming magazine a few months ago. I can't remember which one and I didn't read it, so that's not very helpful I guess.

>enter mouth

Well yes, there are some. Eaggy's Little Demo is pretty much the cream of the crop. There's a fair bit here, but not much of it is fully formed "demos" in that meaning of the word. Would be great if there was much more, though.

As for converting .hes --> .pce, I have no time or motivation to learn that specific assembly language (although the chip is supposedly pretty similar to the 6502), so I'm not going to work that out (plus I have no real interest in playing back on hardware - I don't own any). If you are learning the assembly anyway, though, it should be a doddle (the principles are the same as in this, although the code is of course going to be different, if that helps you get started), and maybe a proper hardware HES player can take shape one day (if it's considered useful at all, which maybe it won't be). smile

PCE music suddenly got more fun since I stopped being the only person who cared! tongue

Lovely art! smile
