Not Rob Hubbard C64 - Music Demo #3 - DELTA

This is my version of Delta that I tried to copy as close to the original as possible. I thought it was spot on at the time but listening now ........!!! Judge for yourself. Firstly my version plays and then the original by Rob Hubbard plays..

The original is just that little bit more polished, and a slightly higher tempo.

It is very good though, and I can't believe you did it on Ubik's Music. I should have another go with that app :-)

Yeah the different filters in the 2 SID chips made it impossible to clone a song on another bit of software. My version had no filters on, and was slower,,,lookin back 20 years !! Come on Mate! I am trying make things matter

Sorry if this is obvious, but how did you make the music? Nice music.  I could never complete that game..

Hi there. I used a Commodore64 and a prog called Ubiks Music

[elodrian2]

Delta was based on this minimalist composition technique inspired by Glass and a bit of Pink Floyd. It was quite hard to do and required some custom code to the driver to do it. The music was tedious to debug. The other Delta stuff was more conventional - I quite liked the other tunes.

According to Hubbard, Kentilla and Delta were the most complicated one to compose, they took the longest time to do and they both drove him insane.

Hi Thanks for commenting.I'd forgotten all about Gary Liddon. Remember him from reading Zzap64.Yeah the ingame music is pure Koyaanisqatsi.Brilliant!The sequences are tiny.That's why I chose Delta to try and copy. By far the easiest classic Rob Hubbard one to attempt. Kentilla was another fav of mine. I was useless at the game so I was glad that the original idea of having different tunes for different parts of the game never actually happened otherwise I would never have heard it all.

i see you made this with Ubik's Music. Have a few questions about this program. When you go into 'live play/voice edit' menu, how do you select a particular voice to edit? Also, what does the gate settings NPSTRSG mean? The program is neat but it's a bit tough to figure out the voice edit parameters.

Both versions are great!!! wow 1987 this game came out three years after my birth!!!

Loaded so quick and getting the whole of Youtube in the border...

It would be really nice if You applied to Your demos some more delicate and slow, climatic fadeout - the way they are now, they're ending a bit too abruptly - as for my taste, at least.

great track, well done on your work :)

Perfect! Keep it up!
