Re: Wanted: Music for Game Project - Office Worker
Anything's 'available in MIDI' if you're prepared to program the waveforms on a synthesiser. As for preset General MIDI I have no idea. I presume not if the MIDI file doesn't fire them from the standard wavetable. As this is a C64-centered site I could fire up the old girl later on and have a tinker...

Re: Wanted: Music for Game Project - Office Worker
You still there? If so, I can try to make something out of The Typewriter by Leroy Anderson. It'd go lovely with your office game. The General MIDI wavetable seems to have made no allowance for bell and typing sounds but if I can't do anything strictly within the wavetable I can make a MP3 of a mix ...

Re: So what's your approach to C64 music making?
Coo, ta! I've loved the Commodore 64 as it was the first machine I really got into, though I did enjoy doing little programs in BBC BASIC at school too. Hope you do well at the machine code. Above me now, so kudos (if that's the right word) to you. And let's sort out your power supply problem. Best ...

So what's your approach to C64 music making?
I usually like methods 3-5 the best out of my own poll. Sometimes combined as part of a larger project compiled elsewhere, sometimes not. Here's an updated picture of C64 #3, now I've got it all perfect: http://www.dustybin.org.uk/MSSIAH_MACHINE.JPG http://www.dustybin.org.uk/cartz.jpg I prefer work...

Head azimuth software (C64) - Loadstar / Azimuth 3000
Such a handy tool for calibration: http://www.concept-single.net/Azimuth_3000.htm Copy the TAP back to a cassette and you'll be able to keep the azimuth in check. (Of course, you'll have to have a well calibrated device to copy it back with, otherwise the only thing you'll line up your Datassettes w...

You b******! And that goes for you too, everyone else in the world! What a fantastic synth! :worship: I wonder what THAT would sound like with a controller hooked up to where a SID would usually go! Just imagine standing in a large hall with this thing playing. That rich sound enveloping you. Marvel...

Re: Wanted: Music for Game Project - Office Worker
Elastic Band Warrior seems a lovely game. But it grinds so slowly on my PC, even someone with slow responses like me finds his enjoyment ruined! (But as my father's giving me no fewer than two PCs in the next few days, I can have a go on those and see how I fare.) Looking forward to playing on the C...

Re: THE KING IS DEAD -LONG LIVE THE KING! New Prophet 64 cart!!
Crash does it? I think that's why I put up the discontinued demo version as well. Look into them both and you can have a workaround solution, though response times when playing keyboard via the emulator are dicey. But then, what d'ya want for nothing, honey on it?! There are buckets of other program...

Re: Wanted: Music for Game Project - Office Worker
I've got my own software and equipment to make pretty much whatever I like. The PC is always the destination recorder so it doesn't matter what other computer I may use to make the actual music. I assume your programs will use the Microsoft wavetable, as used to play MIDI files through the operating...

Re: Inexpensive acoustic material / improving sound in a room?
Done and dusted then!
I rather like the suspended office ceiling thing, if that's what it is. Lightly packed and re-foamed if necessary, it's an easy way of treating a room.
Now all that remains for you to do is sling up some links to the tracks made with this lovely new mixing suite... eh?

Re: THE KING IS DEAD -LONG LIVE THE KING! New Prophet 64 cart!!
Ebay man, EEEE-BAAYY! Though if you don't fancy spending peanuts on the most versatile 8-bit home micro as ever there was, you can always fire up the emulator and run the cracked-to-disk version of its predecessor, the Prophet 64. I've handily linked to it on a sub-page of mine, here: http://homepag...

No, stick with it. As we both make our own productions for the love of it, I wouldn't mind chipping in. If you take a listen to the music section on my Concept Single page, http://www.concept-single.net/, you can hear if what I'm doing may fit your project. Listen to all the tunes as I try to do as ...

Re: The cost of vintage synths.
Well, it's horses for courses. Harmonic distortion inherent in analogue gives you that creamy warmth which is part of the 'retro' experience. And it all helps. Having said that, emulators continue improving. Hammond B4, for example, provides a smashing set of facsimile organ sounds which sometimes f...
