BMC songs - Atari 8-bit awesomeness

Hello there. Again, an Atari 8-bit music video, this time using the Black Magic Composer.

This awesome composer has a GUI that can be controlled by joystick and ST or Amiga mouse. Yes, a mouse on an 8-bit Atari!

But then, have a listen. Yes, those are samples you hear on channel 4!

This vid is again a bit heavy on the annotations but as it's about the music, you wouldn't want me to blab all through it, would you?

Wow. I'm one of the original authors of this piece of software, and I also wrote the majority of demo songs that came with it. I'm totally amazed that my stuff suddenly shows up 20 years later ... I had almost forgotten about it myself.

Thanks a lot for reviving some very fond childhood memories. I someone had told me in 1991 that people would post videos of my software in 2010 .... I would have told them they're crazy :)

You're welcome. Even in this age of GHz computers and 32 bit sound, this composer still inspires people.

an mp3 link? very good song!!! it rocks!!!

[Alphasys]

Which one? Sandy or Pulse. It's not too difficult to make an MP3 out of these, but Pulse is running in an endless loop, so it's a little tougher to "cut" it right.

[Alphasys]

Anybody out there to create some tune with this for my Atari demos? The samples playback for the drums sounds excellent!
