Is there an mod/xm/it converter for mml?   I'm looking at writing a basic one if not.

If you want to get into c64 assembly I found this tutorial a good primer for the basics.  It's based around Turbo Assembler but it's far easier to use a crossdev one these days, such as DASM or KickAssembler

Oh what the heck, few more links:
Programmer's Reference Guide
Introduction to programming c64 demos
All about your 64.
C64 Codebase.  Has tutorials, example source and info on various things.

Thanks, if there are any requests I'll put it on Bandcamp.

Yep should be, I could have gone through the same distributor but it would probably mean only the front cover would be correct, it'd have a generic track listing on the back and stuff.   So I'm doing it directly with the cd place where I can upload all the artwork using their templates.  I hope this isn't too much of a hassle but it'll probably look cooler with all the 3d in the inlay.

I think Rob mentioned in an intervew he'd have the driver running and then tweak parameters on the fly to improve the song as it played.  It would be kinda the same as having an editor framework on screen, you're just changing hex bytes in a monitor.   I guess once you get comfortable doing it that way then writing an editor takes time away from working, plus it's only a benefit if other people are going to use it.

Thinking about it there weren't really any 'serious' music editors in '84-'85 where you could a) get the music out in a useable form and b) have data small enough to fit in a game.  I can only think of Master Composer from that time, which did basic instruments on a stave layout. (if you hear a song cover from the early '80s, chances are it's done in this)  Going forward a bit Electrosound appeared in '85, followed by SoundMonitor, RockMonitor and then the flood of editors like Future Composer.
