Arkos Tracker appeared

By , on June 16th, 2010

Arkos Tracker is a freeware Windows-based tracker to compose music for the AY3-8912, a soundchip used in the Amstrad CPC, but also on MSX, Spectrum, Atari ST and many other computers in the 80’s.

Arkos Tracker is born from the native CPC tracker called STarKos, which I also programmed. It retains most of its features, extends some, and will evolve in future versions.

Artcity: new website by Bitfellas

By , on June 10th, 2010

This is  weekly demo special edition! Since I am behind two weeks, I decided to post this related news item.

Once upon a time I used to go all the time to a site called GFX ZONE which was a repository of demoscene pixel artists, both old and new. Those fanatic of digital graphics and the demoscene probably remember it (you can still watch it, in its zombi state, clicking here)
Long defunct, I now found this site, recently re-launched, with a huge archive of pixel art to dive on. Run by the awesome Bitfellas crew, the site is pretty amazing, and a -necessary- stop for every pixel art aficionado.

Ah, the good old days when we actually DID antialiasing, and by hand.

Most recommended visit: Artcity

Illustrating this post: one of my favourite pieces by one of my favourite artists, “Too much clubbing”  by Cyclone, from Germany. Check out his gallery.

SNDH Atari ST YM2149 collection v3.1 released

By , on June 7th, 2010

103 new or fixed SNDH files (156 tunes).
It’s Outline again!

So once again a couple of months before the party
my D-Bug activities take a back seat and music
ripping comes to the fore!

Again it’s a real mixed bag with all the tunes
from the recent 20 year old STE demo and the
show stopping tunes from last years Checkpoint
demo.

We still like to throw a spanner in the works
so I’ve started ripping ancient tunes from
Automation menus 1-30, I’m sure you’ll look
forward to these!

There’s also a rare Mad Max tune featuring
one of his early digi-drum tunes. Speaking
of Mad Max expect some very rare unreleased
stuff soon as well!

Thanks must go to those musicians who keep us
up to date with their work, so big thanks to
Cerror, 505 and Ultrasyd!
