    Explains some of the science behind the emulations and techniques used.

  • Beepola v1.00.00 Appeared

    “Beepola is a new multi-channel, multi-engined, tracker-style Beeper music editor for Windows (although it should also run perfectly well on Linux or MacOS with a reasonably recent install of WINE).”

    From the Post:

    By “multi-engined” I mean that, once you’ve got a tune entered (or partially entered) you can listen to it (or compile it) using one of two “Tone Generators” – currently either a modified version of the Special FX 2ch+percussion engine, or a heavily modified pattern-based version of the beeper routine from “The Music Box”.

    Here are some sample tunes I’ve created with it (all are *.tap files ready for loading into your favourite emulator):-
    Chuck Rock – Core Design One of my all-time favourite game tunes (I had this game for the Sega Game Gear, although I think it was also available for the Amiga).
    Cars – Gary Numan Some obligatory 1980’s goodness.
    Root Beer Rag – Billy Joel Just because I like the tune
    The Great Escape Theme Based on the full orchestral arrangement from the film, possibly a little too ambitious for a beeper tune. Not convinced it really works too well.

    Raquel Meyers is soon releasing a DVD for lightrhythmvisuals where she’ll present her visual works, and have other people remix it. Here is Paris and Outpt’s remix of the Retirementology video. The song was also recently remixed by Herv for Sonic Intifada. Remix remix remix remix remix… remix remix-mix, mix remix? Remix! Re mix, mix, re re.

  • LSDJ Updated to 4.05 – Pitch Bug Fixed?

    2010-04-13: v4.0.5

    * kiko + old fonts: make K less similar to H. regrettable, as i think
    they looked better before, but they were just too similar.
    * noise instrument: add “S CMD” setting. “FREE” keeps classic S command
    behavior. “STABLE” prevents the noise generator from switching between 7-bit and 15-bit LFSR, as it occasionally mutes the sound.
    adjust the setting to suit your personality.
    * rewrite possibly buggy groove manipulation code.
    * remove valid data assert when drawing groove screen.
