In his sophomore 8bitpeoples release, IAYD (I Am Your Destruction) returns from the depths of the cosmos, armed with an arsenal of arresting arias. Burning white hot and furious, his concussive calls-to-arms serve as much to inspire as to enrage. Composed of three parts bête noire, two parts rancor, Like A Phoenix destroys and disrupts. Prepare yourself for the impact of this anthemic anthology, spanning the years 2008-2010.
With the galaxy safe once more, our hero Space Captain Sievert returns home. After landing his ship on the small island known as Earth, he shows the people the things he has discovered and peace is restored again. Even if only for a brief time, our hero is happy to take a well needed rest from defending the galaxy. In his third album, Sievert gets back to his punk-ska roots to celebrate all of the things he loves: good times, good friends, beer, dogs, cartoons, pizza, chips, dips, and face-rips.
Demonstration for the Commodore PET computer. Features a brand-new graphics mode enabling hi-res graphics for the first time. Download the real thing at: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=56410 or http://www.orb-demo.net/ The sourcecode to the graphics mode and music driver are included in the download. If possible please watch on emulator or real hardware as the video loses the smoothness of the original.
klystrack has updated to version 1.5 which has a big bunch of new stuff.
What’s immediately visible is that it no longer looks like crap thanks to gfx from ilkke (who also provided some example material). What’s audible is that klystrack now also does samples (MOD import works pretty well). The user interface has been updated so basic stuff like the right mouse button menu will not be missed. There’s also a basic and very experimental support for MIDI.
Documentation is not fully updated so keep exploring for new stuff.
New in 1.5:
Improved editing
Undo/redo for most actions
The “compact” pattern display mode can be configured to display exactly the needed pattern columns
There’s now an edit mode similar to most classic trackers (you can jam in the pattern editor without changing pattern data)
New audio driver features
Wavetable for sampled drums etc.
Bitcrush effect has now optional sample rate downsampling
Extra parameter column for volume (like in FT2)
New commands such as setting filter resonance and restarting the instrument program from pattern data
Improved GUI
A lot of general laziness has been fixed, e.g. own menu items for opening a sample even in the pattern editor, keyboard control in all editors
Editors can be switched with buttons located bottom-right
The menu is less obscure with a new added menu button top-left
New default theme (no more eyesore)
Themes can now use PNG images instead of BMP
Program icon
Fun stuff
VU meters and a fake spectrum analyzer (think Protracker)
AHX/Protracker/C64 etc. retro themes
Experimental stuff
MIDI sync (not tested very well) and MIDI keyboard support (great for instrument editing)
