Subtle synth fx ....

[emkay]

Endtime flavour




Some gr.11 and

some dedicated 4 different modulation settings on the main voice....

Poor conversion, I see no reason else why they couldn't have gotten the notes right.

There's a note about this tune in the STIL:

Quote

Almost all copies of the game had a bug in the tape loader routine which would mean the music corrupts itself around the 1:20 mark.

It still appears to go out of whack on the "fixed" version in the HVSC (the bass gets out of sync with the rest of the tune) but presumably sounded right to composer Barry Leitch when it was originally done.

Just tried the disk version (although cracked), it doesn't even bopther to provide the music.

Cracks more often than not won't retain loading screens or music especially with single file games like Silkworm - adding in the loader and picture bumps up the file size, something the cracking charts of the 1980s and 1990s took into consideration when judging versions. Sometimes they're included on the disk as a standalone file but it depends on the crew and how much of a hurry they were in if this was to be a first release.

Hard Rock was yesterday. Today we listen to Hard Classics

So turn the lights off ...



Btw: Eddi is a straight import with Quantizator. Would be nice to have this directly integrated into G2F.
Btw2: the tune would be even better with active arranged modulations. Passive control of modulations simply has it's flaws.

I think that needs this music - I'd swear this was *written* for pokey

[Rybags]

Would go well in stereo.

I reckon they've used some exact Pokey LFSR patterns to get many of those instruments.

Hi, emkay. I can't remember you made a pokey tune sounding like this. Am I right? Or if I'm wrong, which .xex-tune is it then?

Sounds like they ripped some parts off Mux's Instrumentarium

It was a tune.... for some still not finished intro ... I made/converted in 2010.

[emkay]

This one combines lower notes played by modulations, higher notes played with filter (high pass)+ modulations

[emkay]

One of the "1st" conversions.... showing some pulse width manipulations in 15kHz.

[emkay]

A 4 channel special:



and some melodic filter

[emkay]

Those may fit aswell...

[emkay]

You know those 4 tunes?

[emkay]

Best musical results will be there, if modulation and filter get mixed together. You can do sound fx over several octaves, keeping the frequency stable.

Hm, the pic is stolen converted from Shadow of the Beast III. The music is ripped from Draconus.

If there is anything "stolen", it is already stealing, when browsing a website, because, pictures and sound get copied to the local machine....
Create a tool that converts graphics and music online, and look to that pictures and listen to that sound in an "Atari-Browser" ... is virtually the same.
As the sources were free available, any further discussion is needless...

[Rybags]

That first of 4 is pretty cool - is there a fuller version?

[analmux]

@ R4ngerM4n: Do you have any atari-related goals of visiting this forum? Or do you actually post some useful comments sometimes? I didn't find any. Or are you the 2nd account of another user? You seem to be some 'fantasy'-user anyway. Sorry.

[emkay]

This one shows a combination of modulations and pulse width manipulations. The sounds could be less noisy, but the demonstration purpose should be clear..

That's what the MOD file offered.

[emkay]

Something very experimental

[emkay]

And the "Logical 3 tune" with the different sound setting.

[emkay]

Sometimes it looks like people don't get what this is about.
All the complex sounding is usable for almost "all" games, because it's using default POKEY hardware with simple VBI programming (sometimes 2xVBI). It's just the timing between 2 channels that has to be set right, which is easily possible because the dependency of ANTIC, POKEY and the CPU has never changed.
It's only the "correction" missing, that might be necessary ....here and there ... for additional sound manipulations, which costs some additional CPU cyles.

...but many times it looks like people don't WANT to understand, and that's still a pity. You know, this correct pokey-usage is not worked out by someone from the polish Atari-scene. It seems like that's also the reason why the polish coders don't work on it...
