Awesome! I finally got around to messing with your guide. It's very nice - I have successfully compiled a .HES file and used the WAV editor to edit the wav's in your song... didn't make as much of a different I thought it would. I haven't really dug into MML, but it doesn't look quite like my thing. I am very excited about a MOD to PCE tool! Links? I remember Herr_Prof mentioned someone was thinking about deving a LSDJ style tracker for the PCE. This is the coolest machine. Who doesn't like a nice PC-Engine.

Re: Favorite keyboards thread (the typing kind) (34 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Maybe its just my C64 keyboard, but I think its feel is terrible - I cleaned it so it should be normal too. The IIGS keyboard is beautiful, slides down wonderfully and makes a great clicky sound, feels immaculate - like I'm some insane hacker taking over the world. I think Ben Heck called it the best built keyboard he has ever seen. :0

I don't know if you'd be interested in this sort of thing, but I know there is a lot of interest around MIDI solutions for LGPT on the Dingoo and PSP handhelds.

Thanks for those tip offs, Eaggy looks pretty cool. This page is an interesting read and he managed to get something he made in HuSIC on a real PCE. I'll try to email him to see how he went about it. I'm also awaiting my confirmation at PCengineFX's forum. Looks pretty cool. What are you talking about PCE is always FUN!

Suck, since I don't have the dough for a 1541U I guess I'm going to be chained a big ol' drive. Oh well. 
Floppy swappers look cooler anyways.

For your own music, this is no problem, as Husic creates executable along with the .hes output. For other people's music... better get cracking on that assembly!
edit: as for the demoscene, it's not a home computer (hard to program) and it was never popular in Europe, so that explains that. It would be nice to see some more though, but there is little to no interest so I guess it will never happen.
Awesome, I was totally unaware of the executable. Thanks! I also have to put some of this on hold however because I'm also buying a C64C and I'm going to focus on that a bit first but this will come in time... 
There was a beginning of a demo being created but it only had one screen - starwave, you can get the rom. Someone who goes by trilinear also released some roms that are cool songs - Megaman flash man I think and Green Hill Zone one from Sonic 2. Theres a brief demo of a bouncing ball oddly and Chris Covell has done some neat mini demos as well which can be found on youtube.

Re: Commodore Storage Options (19 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
If your just going to use your C64 for music would an option that emulates the 1541 completely be necessary? I'd just like to back up stuff from JCH and some other trackers.

thanks guys
im silently laughing in my head a little about the "finally", since i only started the album feb 1stemar: i cant remember which was the last demo version i sent you (there were 4 or so i shared around), but everythings rerecorded and mastered, and i def. changed blazes in the nights sky (minutes before i rerecorded)... not a huge change, but it helps the flow a little
Well thats interesting! I've heard you talk about it plenty so I've just anticipated it all the more...

Re: SAM COUPE - SAA 1099 PSG (6channels stereo) (23 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Thanks, that clears some things up a bit. Yeah LGPT can send MIDI CC's but I try to not overly complicate the MIDI section of it and focus more on the actual sample tracking.

Re: SAM COUPE - SAA 1099 PSG (6channels stereo) (23 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Not necessary but I think it would be cool and streamline my live set up. For instance I'd rather have controls straight on the synth then through a MIDI controller. It would make using something like LGPT a lot easier as I could just send note CC's and then have a CS to control the instrumentation - which is just my preference. What jumps to mind would be like pots for ADSR, duty cycle(?) or other modifiable aspects of this chip. The demo sounds really great so I'd be interested no matter what!
