Thanks for the info Nitro, really helped refresh my memory.
Now I'd like to see absolute pitches put in, also the ability to skip lines on a table (but still process them). In the past I've made sick pulse kicks, skipping the initial high pitched bend, but it means the entire song has to be programmed two steps ahead.

Can anyone please post me the optimal instrument/table combo for a kick+bass instrument (kick with a tail)?

I'm having trouble programming one that doesn't change frequency- the best I can get it is going up/down one semitone.

I used to be able to do this shit years ago... whats happened!

Bullshit on a plate... you can buy these things already, they are just rebranded products.
The image on their website is stolen, yes- they even bothered to photoshop out credit until someone demanded it relabled.

There's no proof of that design ever making it into being made into a case, or even them somehow fitting a quad core pc into a C64 case...

Hey rumpelfilter, check the internal blow fuse- it might be broken, which causes the sid to produce no sound, but still produce a clear picture- obvious thing to miss, and people always shout CAPS. As your SID still seems to be alive I'm guessing it'll be this.

any update on the GP2X? still got this 4track, also got moneys now!

This would be sweet to see on the Famicom Disk System!  Are you sure Amigas don't work?  I've seen a few A600's with them.  Also, tell me more about your Mega Drive PC!  Your Mega Drive has a floppy connector?

Wikipedia actually has a section on this pc now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_Mega_PC

The sega/pc sections are seperate- it's also advertised to have built in adlib but i never saw this working.
I'd need an ISA soundblaster card but theyre not too hard to come by.
Floppy drive, hard drive, and clock battery need replacing- theres probably other busted bits on it.

Just read that write support for amigas currently doesnt work, but firmware upgrades are always happening.

Haven't seen this mentioned here, heads up on an awesome project.

Getting mine soon, probably enough encouragement to sort out my STE for use- pretty much a replacement for WHDLoad if you're on an amiga system- a solve all for amiga 500 users too.

I might even do up my Mega Drive/PC system and install it in there- with a mega drive midi interface it could be the ultimate adlib/MD music machine.

Post edited to show cartridges and DS missing.
Thanks NeX and UNiX!

Can't remember which is true or not, havent had a breadbox for about 3 years now. Isnt the breadbox board alot bigger?
Saying that I have a C64C with a weird revision- it has a 6581 in it and a larger board.
The screws should be the same, the connecters are the same.
Just wham it in and see what happens- what are you gonna lose!

a few that i think are great:

this filter plugin is absolutely sick- instead of just GUESSING the resonance in the filter you can choose from lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and modify each as you want.       http://uk.aminet.net/mus/edit/cha_filter.readme

i use this to cut up long samples when im making house- one you mentioned    http://uk.aminet.net/mus/edit/cha_stanley.readme

also useful for correcting the tempo of said loops http://fi.aminet.net/mus/edit/cha_autotempo.readme

I wouldn't say it's that misleading wink Along with the built in reverb etc theres plenty you can do with a boring loop.
I just think it's sad that people stick to protracker/soundtracker when they make amiga music.
now all I want is some sort of phaser or flange, that would be awesome!

I grabbed MILKYTRACKER, loaded a bunch of WAV samples in it, and then saved as MOD for the Amiga. It converts the samples to the proper IFF format and they sound just great on the machine.

How does it sound compared to stuff sampled directly on an Amiga?

Nowhere near as cool.
Each sampler will have it's own sound.
Mine has a pretty creamy lo-fi sound.
The one I've got for sale on the trade section is crunchy/noisy but also very clean if you can get the hum away.

It's very convenient sampling straight to the amiga. I plug in my mp3 player, I plug in my laptop, I plug in my C64. Samples ahoy, no fucking PC to click around in.

At the moment Iam sampling to a Roland JS-30 and manipulating my samples there, then straight to the amiga from that. I can layer up samples, timestretch them, downtune them, ADSR fun etc, muck about with loop points to create a whole new sound.

If you have a decent screen size on your amiga I'd reccomend using OSS 1.35(?!). It has some great effects processors in it, and you can also get DSP plugins. These are ram hoggy so you'll most likely need an expansion.
It can export/import 4channel protracker mods, and can also do midi.

A new competitor enters:


This is my chair, I bought it from Ikea for like £40 two years ago, and I've been sitting in it ever since. It smells like ass and sweat and is really uncomfortable. The seat is way too small for even the slimmest of ass.

Anyone can have it, just come round to my house and carry it out. My dogs wont care, they hate the thing as much as I do, but they might bite you if you're ugly or tall.
