  • Meneo Interview

    460_1852079Meneo Interview on a new podcast from Forcefed Fistfuls. Details:

    This week we put our focus on latin America (from Argentina to Mexico) for ‘Mas Fuego, Mas Bajo!’, our special on latin American electronics and street music.

    With focus on a few key artists and record labels pushing different unique sounds – we’re putting our south-of-the-equator sister continent on blast, exposing movements in Reggaeton, Cumbia, Hip Hop, Funk Carioca, Baile Funk and more. Find out what all these genres are if you don’t know already and if you do, enjoy some classic and harder to find gems….

  • GoatTracker 2.68 for OSX released

    Great news for all SID music enthusiasts running OSX! GoatTracker 2.68 OSX

    GoatTracker is a cross-platform tracker written by Lasse Öörni, producing SID chiptune music for the Commodore 64, and released with source code under the GPL.

    […]

    This Mac OS X port of GoatTracker integrates the cross-platform code with a standard Mac OS X GUI, and adds additional features, such as MIDI keyboard support and comprehensive built-in help.

    Versions of GoatTracker for other operating systems such as Windows and Linux can be found on the Covert Bitops page.

    The previous OSX port of Goat Tracker was version 1.4, which in my experience was running really slow and unstable. After a few minutes trying out the new update on my MacBook, my impression is quite the opposite.

    This time around, the Mac OS X integration is much more complete, offering standard keyboard shortcuts, built-in help windows, and open/save dialogs for songs and instruments. There’s more room for future improvements though. If you’re actively using GoatTracker, please let me know of any ideas and suggestions you might have.

    The port is made by Andreas Varga.
