||||||||

do you meal opl fm synthesis? i was just chatting with someone on facebook about fm and i linked him adlibtracker, a piece of software which comes with lots of demo tunes ,check it out |

it does sound amazing. checked it out some time ago. loaded up some downlded tracks aswell to see what its like. i find the process of creating instruments in tracker software quite time consuming and not as fun as tweaking my usb knobs and pressing chords on the keyboard. anyway i was wondering since fm synthesis seems to be getting more attention these days, if there there are kind of albums with that specific sound i was speaking of. like pinball beeps, warps and smashing metallic stuff. kind of like |

while the sounds may have been created differently on that track (im not half the gearhead i should be) i kind of wished for a hybrid of that tracks poise with some of |

Do you know the Roland mt32? |

I always have to emulate that with Dos games that support it! |

ha, i was thinking of specifically excluding sierra adventures from the post. looks like a fun gadget for retro gaming. wonder if any musicians we know toyed with it. but i was more thinking of the OPL FM sound. i have an old soundblaster Live! with midi interface but i read it doesnt feature any OPL chip. also an even older soundblaster that might have it but no midi interface:/ |
||||||||

|
to make matters worse i even budgeted out the chance to get a midi interface along my ESI Maya44 soundcard years ago :( which are out of sale by now, obviously. |

sounds like an ebay job! |

I'm envious of his stack of midi devices hehe |

goodness gracious, now i remember why i didnt try to make any music in that tracker. takes a lot of effort to get into programming that sob. respect to everyone who does it. |

Alex Mauer, its the person who released an album via NES Cart! heard about this on a retro games and music event, three years ago. great track in that link btw. love it when chiptunes go all "epic journey" style. love it when ceephax goes there too. feels so uplifting. level 8 on blast is great too, quite the funk. |

alex mauer is fucking psycho, i have heard firsthand accounts |

don't know anything about him. Just remembered those tunes from very long ago, and remembered it had that soundblaster/adlib vibe. I once tried using a dos tracker thing but found it uncomfortably difficult to work with. |

have you tried other tracker soft? it looks much less complicated after watching a tutorial video. i found once you get the shortcuts it is possible to work with them. however it takes time and patience and after working with Buzz (which at least featured mouse support) and LSDJ (on actual gameboys/snes) i dont happily embrace the option of learning another ones commands and menu structure. thus my initial reaction to the adlick tracker re-download. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes I have, started with buzz, did a bit of milkytracker and settled with Renoise, which is now my main "DAW" can't remember the name of the dos software but it was actually in dos |

shit, the only program i ever used in dos was dos commander. always have been awfully proud i was able to write customized cache assignments and startup commands into batch files. anyhow re-ran adlibtracker 2 today. initially labeled my keyboard with old inkjet labels and a pen. i forget shortcuts instantly and since the program solely relies on these kinds of commands your doomed if you dont pick that shit up to navigate quickly. still not sure wether its going to be worth the hassle, but maybe i can learn something from the experince altogether. creating arpeggios and copying instruments to alter is giving me a headache. |

I think that was likely why I couldn't get anything done |
