Vandalism News GOLD diskmag released!

75271Vandalism News, the longest standing diskmag in the Universe, has just seen its number 50 release, the Gold Edition…

Loaded full of C64 news as usual and featuring music by many of your favourites like Psycho, Jammer, A-Man, Conrad, Drax, Linus and others, plus cool graphics and text provided by the Wrath Design and Onslaught crews, this is the mandatory weekend read for anybody interested in the C64 demoscene. If you are a n00b, you can get a whiff of what has happened for the past ~20 years by reading the Prefaces, and jump straight into the current day and don’t feel left out again :P

Like if 4 disk sides full of news wasn’t enough, the crew has added two bonus “Golden Goodie Bag” disks, where you can find previously unreleased SID music and other stuff!

Sort of like synthcart, only with more synth and less cart! Less hacking/drilling a vintage VCS, too.

After months of distraction I finally got around to implementing: 1) my own clock so I don’t need an Atari MB, and 2) MIDI control. Laughably enough, it took me like 2 hours, so it was a welcome break from banging my head against other projects for days straight. I’m quite pleased with the results! Still would like to add a couple features but this is enough to run genuine “Atari sounds” off my sequencer… good enough for government work, as they say!

Ignore the JX-3P and PG-200 in the background, those are for another project that I’ll stick up in a couple weeks. :)

Also please ignore the distortion and amount of times I say “um.” I’m still getting used to recording myself.

Questions welcome! Enjoy!

PS: It pains me to use the tags “circuit” and “bending” just because I hate that cliche so much. Plus that crowd seems to more enjoy glitching known hardware rather than building predicable stuff from scratch. Still, hopefully it will be, as the internet says, relevant to their interests.
