Delta (Chipophone)

Title theme for the C64 game Delta, composed by Rob Hubbard in 1987, performed live on the Chipophone. The piece was heavily inspired by the final movement of the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack which was composed by Philip Glass in 1982.

Can I get one of those Chipophones or is there only one?

[lftkryo]

@Doommaster1994 There is only one.

Just curious are your keys weighted? they don't look weighted.

[lftkryo]

@ethicks00 Nope, no weighting and no velocity sensing.

I don't understand why you didn't simply use the old swell pedal to control volume instead of making a fadeout button.

[lftkryo]

@frotz661 Currently, the swell pedal is mapped to release rate, which makes it act like a sustain pedal, but I haven't really found any practical use for it, so I'll probably change it to something else. Possibly volume.

[tbsys31061]

this sound SO epic. Cant you just put out a cd or so?

[Nexma]

@mandokir you're out of sync...

[djsmithy]

It was actually the in-game music that featured a rendition of Pink Floyd's "On the Run" and Philip Glass's "Pruit Igoe" and "Resource",

but none the less this an extremely great cover of the title music.

[mandokir]

Real out of sync.

This is GREAT!
