Love the video, it sucks someone reposted it

I would buy this music 😢

Please post these tracks

Dood, that track you made at 8:30 is so siiick! Had to listen to it a few times before continuing the video!

I friend of mine had a Amiga, I didn't. When the programme was loading, I moved the mouse around, to "distract the computer from working right" that always was good for a few angry faces.

We need more of this!

7:30 Can anyone explain? How does the video CD module allow loading a program? Obviously he is faking a data stream from a drive.

Video CDs were amazing -- I had a few myself. Pretty funny looking back, Dumb and Dumber took 2 discs and IIRC, those were 480p quality. Ah the 90s ❤😂

I had an ST and software called Super Conductor, I’ve searched KZbin but can’t find anything on Super Conductor

I used deflemask tracker around 2014 some time. I even got to talk to the developer a couple times, he's a nice guy 👍

i just sold a 1040 STe to a guy for making retro music he is more then happy

What happened to part 2? I really hope nothing bad happened to you mate

Anywhere we can listen to these tunes? I actually love the Music Station tune!

Reminds me of my friend and I in my house/home studio (his bedroom...lol). Atari 1040 ste akai s3000 tascam digital 4 track and a Roland 808 drum machine.... We were rocking. Made loads of music in the house area. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Part 2 ?

I think this track is wonderful, but honestly thought all that hardware and competence would change the sound more radically. Sure, the base samples are the "crappy classics" and I understand using others would take away that 1989 colour, but still.. all that metal...

great!

8:22 that piano sounds almost exactly like the GTA3 theme! Love this stuff. Awesome work dude.

Still wanting a clean audio track of this to bump. Love it years later.

Hopefully there will be a part 2 and 3 to this, that would be brilliant I can at least hope for that

1:58 the minute from this part is so freakin good the vibe is hard af

15:55 ah yes I love a good John Oswald tribute

Thanks, very Good Stream!

Such a cool video. You deserve a subscribe sir!

SONY S - SMP ♫

This is amazing. Even usefull today in 2025

You can keep any CD drive alive forever with proper maintenance. You just have to occasionally clean and re-lubricate all the moving parts.

Great video!

do you know how to type in programs into the atari st 520 or amiga 500 ??

Nice mouse pad, sporting the original Silicon Graphics logo. I suppose there's at least that utterly extravagant dismal failure to point to as a company that reached both higher highs and crushing lows than CBM-which, even at its most foolish, never went so far as to flush its defining legacy down the toilet, by abandoning a legendary logo that communicated brilliance and creativity in favor of a logo that communicated a company nearing the end of its existence.

this is the way i went in the 90s as an aspiring (young and broke) hip-hop / neo-soul producer: from Amiga 500, where i learned the basics of sampling, onto cheap second hand PC with SB32. the latter combined even with the most affordable instruments and home audio equipment would bring you some true possibilities - the Amiga was too weak for that, 4 channels and 0.5MB were the disqualifying factors (my mid-90s PC had 8x that or so). but for starters - OR magicians like you :) - that could prove enough. i try to imagine what could happen if Amiga had a MIDI port and would be able to combine the best of both worlds: layering quality drums and quality basses (sampling) + programmed multi-channel synth sounds retaining the high end, which had been a problem in 8-bit sampling world (MIDI). this would be the cheapest REAL studio quality ever. thanks for your hard work cTrix, it brings out so many memories and has a huge historical value. my hat is off.

Help! When I try to record from my MIDI to Atari ST. I press select all and quantise... And it plays back more out of step than when I recorded it! How do I set cubase up to record my key presses properly?

Krazy knows okay yeah Krazy Ken Is not dead anymore 😅

Ah, I was looking for this again. As others have mentioned, legit the best danged FM Synthesis tracker tutorial, and one of the best explanations of FM Synth. This can even be applied to other Genesis trackers, and even other Yamaha 4 Operator FM Synth chips.

The 1st beat was sick, it sounds like a Detroit Techno track from 1989. What this keyboard reminds me off is the sound chip used in the Sega Genesis, it was the Yamaha YM2612. Its the same chip used inside the Fujitsu FM Towns Marty. The YM2612, a.k.a. OPN2, is a sound chip developed by Yamaha. It is a member of Yamaha's OPN family of FM synthesis chips, and is derived from the YM2203. The YM2612 is a six-channel FM synthesizer used in several game and computer systems, most notably in Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis video game console as well as Fujitsu's FM Towns computer series. It was also available in CMOS form as the YM3438, a.k.a. OPN2C. As with the YM3438, it was used by Sega in various arcade game systems, including the Mega-Play, Sega System C and Sega System 32, with the YM3438 being integrated into an ASIC in later models of the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Очень интересно смотреть , продолжай в том же духе!

Part two please =)

Man this is so interesting. Had an ST in the 90s but couldn‘t afford the other stuff. I could just play around with a Tracker. Watching this brings me back. I am really thinking about getting an ST again and some midi „play toys“. Looking forward to see part 2. I appreciate your effort producing this videos. Tanks a lot man and please go on! All the best.

Beautiful

Thank you for showing off what early consumer tech can do! Nowadays we are truly spoiled for the options available to us. At 7:19, those vocals in "Good Life" are actually an Ensoniq Mirage factory program.

OMG, Do you really have the Sound Express Sampler?I don't think it's of great quality, and few were sold, but I collect these little things. I have the hardware and the software. Do you know where I could find the user manual? If not, could you take some pictures? Regards.

wtf "im just playing around" and im jamming hard

!!! ... coool ... cool Shpongling :)

maan need those part 2 and 3! Id love to hear the other tracker tricks to simulate more effects!

This was a trip down memory lane That setup minus the Kawai was the exact system I had back in 1989 on an ATARI 1040ST You'd be interested to know That I still have my ATARI 1040STe, Falcon 030 plus m One Million Floppy Discs all safely packed away AND although they are in retirement, The do ALL work just fine to this day. You are obviously from my part of the world as well, Australia ..... Thanks Mate, I really enjoyed this video presentation Cheers from Tasmania / Australia

Hello I'm a fan of 80s home studio. I own an Atari St and a Korg M1 workstation running on both cubase 2.0 and clab notator with dongle. Kindly help me get a step by step guide for these two machines to work in harmony

Talking about ANOTHER missed opportunity with Amiga vs ST and its MIDI port. Amiga supported MIDI from day one (IIRC it is even mentioned in the manual - for sure in the tech manuals). You could get MIDI port with a cheapo adapter (the port already supported MIDI mode, you just needed the actual "plug") on Amiga... yet, mostly-computer-illiterate musicians of the time, just got the machine that actually HAS the port. So semi-pros (and pros) got the machine with WORSE "own" sound chip (ST had the same sound chip like Amstrad CPC or Spectrum +2) and ignored the machine with the MUCH MUCH better audio chip because it was not widely known (nor marketed - Amiga graphics got all the limelight) that that machine could also do MIDI. The rest is history, the best MIDI sequencers etc. got made for ST. Seeing you use your synth to generate waveforms to sample them for Amiga, reminds me of another missed opportunity (that could very well have shaken the whole industry back then)... RE-using SID, as part of the Amiga chipset. A chip that could generate waveforms, so much praised for its capabilities that until recently even commercial devices that could equip with SIDs (if you can find them) were available. Imagine Amiga 1000 having Paula AND SID (or Paula embedding SID) and MIDI ports. Could very well have resulted in the Commodore vs Atari war to never exist (ok Trammiel would still fight, but the market would be way way more biased to support Commodore), which in turn would result in the whole future changing (CBM vs Atari, gave space to Apple to creep beyond them and establish itself as the big #2 in desktop computing)... We could have Amigas today as our main computers. Damn.

This video was so nostalgic for me. Thanks man. Things that Computer History likes to "forget".

Hey there! Can anybody recommend a great program for using Amiga just as a sample based sound module (with other external hardware sequencers etc?) Further to that, does the Amiga go ok for timing, over MIDI?

Thank you for the video. This was very nostalgic ...
