Another “high concept” comp from the gents at 8BC, this time focusing on non4/4 time signatures. More info:
Took 2 days and 1.5 hours longer than I wanted, but it’s here! A big thanks to everyone who participated!!
All of these tracks are either in time signatures that are not commonly used or use commonly used time signatures layered with others. An interesting thing to do when most trackers try to force you into straight 4/4. ^_^
Lots of cool artists on this, so worth a checkout.
Version 0.2.9 is out.
New in this version
– New effects Q, R (pitch slide), A (volume slide)
– Fixed a tempo bug in the tracker
– VRC6 support added
– Improved the song editor
– Added options to disable follow mode when playing and customizable row highlighting
– Added clear patterns command
– Wave file export
– Added .NES file exporting
– Improved hardware sweep commands in the tracker again
– Fixed a bug where NSFs would fail if there was deleted instruments in the file
– Fixed a problem with NSF bankswitching
– Fixed some problems with note delay command in tracker and NSF

Amiga 1200 freak Neuroflip from Spain has created a sample pack for the Amiga
recording the synth patches of the Kaoss Pad Mini from Korg. He used an Amiga Sound Sampler from Telmex and a copy of Protracker for the job.
The pack can be downloaded for free from the Aminet
A total of 46+1 samples in IFF stereo format at max sample rate is at your disposal!
His condition for you to use the samples, is that you send him back a copy of the MOD file you create. What a deal!
Certainly a cool tool for those that may be starting up with Protracker sequencing.
With all the hype around Guitar Hero and Rockband (following the successful trail of the “DDR-type” games), the oldschool machines feel kind of left out of the loop.
Fear ye not, my fellow oldschooler, for beautiful minds in the Amiga and C64 scene bring us software to enjoy ripping it on our old machines, with class.
What’s so cool about this? These programmers are using chipmusic we love or getting our favourites composer to make music, in original format, for these games. Some of them are opening up for submissions so you should pay attention, if you compose in any of these platforms.
Tracker Hero, for the classic Amiga range of computers and as of yet unreleased, shown here playing tracks from Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 and some demo productions.

TRIAD, the well-known C64 demogroup, brings us a new production dedicated to the breadbin’s bigger brother (or as they said, “younger cousin” ;D), the Commodore Amiga 500.
A collection of 8 songs, covered from their Amiga MOD originals, transformed from 4 digital channels to 3 synth channels, is what you will find in this nice musicdisk. Ne7 and dalezy are the men behind the musicmaking, while Spot(also from Amiga demogroup Up Rouugh) took care of the graphics, and iopop has crafted the coding.
My disk’s favourites? No Future and Introghost.
SOUNDS OF THE AMIGA VOL.1!
(watch out for Vol.2!)
