Music Construction Set - Kitten on the Keys - Zez Confrey

PUSHING "MCS" TO THE LIMIT!

Haha..Dizzy Fingers *was* the most complicated piece I laid out in Music Construction Set...Until now!

This may compare pretty equally in complexity, but this is the longest MCS piece I've ever written and the largest I've ever seen the program handle. It runs about 3 minutes - most songs even I've created are well under 2 minutes, sometimes even under one! Also, the save file for this song is 9,780 bytes - most MCS songs I've made are under 3,000 bytes! In fact, if I recall something from the original manual, the MCS program is only supposed to be able to handle some 1,000 note events per song ... This song has over 4,000 note events in 150 measures of music!

As always, recorded using DOSBox and its Tandy SN76496 emulation. Three-note polyphonic square wave musical goodness!

In either case, enjoy this tune - and be sure to check out my channel for more MCS songs!

I really need to know how you were able to make a screencast of a Tandy. That's just awesome. :)
