Is there a difference between this and MSSIAH's SID2SID?  I might order one of these in the future.

- possible to switch between 7.8kHz PCM/DPCM/software synthesized pulse/saw for the 5th channel (currently PCM only) (partially done)

Wow!  Really excited.  Software synth pulse/saw are really cool!  I can't remember who (blargg?) or where but the test I heard of it sounded awesome! Long live pornotracker!

First track especially, good vibes in the other ones, but man, that first one!

Massive stuff man!  Really enjoying listening to it.

Judging from some of the enclosures I've seen, I believe you have to go the DIY route with that.  So use the breakout pins on the board and wire them to a MIDI jack.  Shouldn't be to hard...

A cool new synth, that is VERY cheap.  $29 assembled & tested cheap.  Saw and square wave, with filter.  MIDI controllable.  I've had it reccomended heartily, and supposedly has a very good 303 emulation.  Apparently a small CS with step sequencer is in the works too.  This is quite an enticing device!  The main downfall however, is $25 shipping, which is why there have been a lot of group orders going around with this.

Do you have any STe cases in good condition?  Mine are pretty banged up, keyboard is missing some keys, etc.  Please drop me a PM! smile

Just watched Forbidden Planet again today!  Classic.  The fact that the musicians union forced it to be called electronic tonalities and not a soundtrack is hilarious too  Some of Meco's early galactic funk isn't all electronic but there is still some good bits too.

Thanks for all the input!  As a Linux user I've been using Ubuntu, but my knowledge of the inner workings is limited at best, so that's why I'd like to get a system running pre-configured for smooth, optimum sailing.  I'll take a closer look at Ubuntu Studio and Puredyne.  For apps, I'll mainly be using Renoise, Ardour, various trackers, Supercollider, Csound, Mixxx, and Wine for stuff like VGM Music Maker.  I'm aware it might not be as convenient as Windows or OSX, but I doubt that is the reason most people would use Linux anyways.  wink  I'm glad this could spark this kind of discussion though, it's certainly fascinating as far as computer music goes!

THETA SYMBOL.  SNOWFLAKE SYMBOL.  YEAH YEAH.

I'm considering moving over to Linux for all my audio production needs.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  If so, what is the best distribution for music?  There is quite a few of them but I seem to be teetering between Ubuntu Studio and Transmission OS from Indamixx.  Thanks!

I like it.  The way it sounds I think is great as well!  DMA could be referring to the same way samples are managed on the Atari ST, so maybe this has some kind of sampling?  I don't think a EPROM cart would be too hard, but I doubt there is anything music related available about this.  Regardless, I'll keep my eyes open for one cheap.  smile

Diggin' the new pulselooper track!
