Amiga music: Firefox & Tip - Hyperbased (Enigma demo theme)

[@dempseydiscus]

THIS is why the Amiga was one of the greatest!!!

[@dreamix2007]

This is def. hands down THE best demo song on Amiga demo scene.

[@_Admin]

no cream of the earth is better

[@kazaaakplethkilik3229]

Complication is better imo

[@MarBL23563]

there was a lot of style variation in the demoscene, and songs that had more impressive sounding audio, but this is definitely way up there.

[@ngc-ol9nb]

What is also incredible in this wonderful music is the fact that the Amiga 500 was limited to 4 voices, 2 on the left 2 on the right (not real stereo). There were voices only, not tracks, which meant only 4 samples could be played at the same time, so a simple 3 notes chord just left one voice free. Therefore musicians prerecorded necessary chords in several samples to save voices, but the Amiga ram was very little, so this music is not only artistically a jewel, it is also technically amazing :-)

[@JestersDeadUK]

Never gets old… never.

[@RedWards99]

One of my favorite all time Amiga tunes, inspired me in many ways when I was writing on the Amiga back in the day.

[@Cynidecia]

"hyperbased" thats about right.

[@LERobbo]

Best Amiga tune ever, period.

[@HaveAniceDay2450]

Classic 💯

[@Cossydave]

my favorite Amiga demo tune from one of the best Amiga demos, sounds as good now as it did when it fist came out.

[@BlackRoosterVideos]

The greatest tune I ever heard in the Commodore scene.

[@amigamer5004]

This really is a very big song, only amiga make it possible..........yeaaah

[@KriscrossnewsDe]

Hm, maybe at the time of the release you're right, but programs like Impulse Tracker have the same power and they can use even more channels. If you watch the second channel you'll recognize that there were used sampled melodies so with just four channels and no sampled melody this song couldn't even be made, just my opinion.

[@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV]

@@KriscrossnewsDe Nothing sounds like what Paula produces. Nothing. Same with SID on C64 etc... embrace it :)

[@dreamix2007]

@@KriscrossnewsDe Nope, no sample melody, if you see the command A-F on the second channel as you say, thats a "Trance gate" sort of, making the sound stutter

[@KriscrossnewsDe]

@@dreamix2007 Yep, thanks for the hint, I didn't recognize the A-F command at the first sight. I watched it again and yes, there are no sampled melodies. Sorry for my misguess.

[@m134mr]

Amiga, always had that good feeling about it - can't seem to replicate it now - I was amazed at that machine, the hardware, the sound, everything about it

[@treehann]

The first segment sounds almost identical to Stardust Memories by Jester. According to the minimal sources I can find, Stardust Memories came after. I like what Jester did with the samples found here, but it's cool to see the original inspiration for one of my favorite tracks. I never heard Hyperbased before but I love how many different parts there are.

[@fisk0]

I'd say that style was in vogue in general in the mid to late 80s, they've probably both inspired by what Jean-Michel Jarre were doing at the time.

[@motorcycle-paradise]

A classic, timeless.

[@VeetiWelinOfficial]

one of the best Amiga tunes ever ..

[@3EFrance]

One of the best amiga soundtrack, maybe one of the best

[@cargarsupra]

Maravilloso tema del Amiga. Los recuerdos de agolpan en mi mente. TNKS!!!!!!!! ;-)

[@maasle]

One of the best music tracks ever made on the Amiga.

[@CompactedEgg]

Awesome tune. It shows off the talent of the Amiga users and the power of the computer itself. And consider that this module wouldn't even take up a quarter of a 880k floppy too... brilliant.

[@timbly-wx2ft]

Terriffic song - I first listened to this on my Archimedes in 1991 or so - never gets old - magical composition. Thank you Jimmy Fredriksson and Robert Österbergh.... I hope you are both well and happy wherever you are.

[@ingomolters9956]

PURE LOVE FOR THIS SONG!

[@pangruff]

Once being part of that scene as a music artist myself, i say with all respect: this is the best of all mods

[@mvoproject]

Really pleasant to listen such a groovey, punchy, energetic Music!! Simple but great!!

[@PeterCarpenter80s]

I've heard it back in the day and have seen the demo... I found it again and I'm listening to it everyday. This music makes me happy, my head is moving. :) Fat, FAT sound! My favourite moment is when that funky bassline comes at 4:06.

I only had to hear this once for it to shoot straight to the top of my favourite retro tunes.

[@abstracttim7428]

3:27 is genius btw :)

Oh yeah! One of the best demo tunes for the Amiga. Thanks m8.

[@fredrikalvelov9218]

Den här gick varm på Amigan på Hexagon, datorklubben på "Teknis" (gymnasiet Rudbecksskolan) i Örebro då det begav sig, 1991. Den här och Lemmings :)

[@defdac]

Det var tider det :)

[@luisbarbosa1]

[@Cyberartist_Cybotron71]

. .. . . .. o o o oo OOO OMG!!!!🤩😍

[@Poppapygar]

Brilliant, i use to have this program, thanks for posting.

[@LGJoe88]

This is my favorite PorTracker track, it is so mindblowing, it has something in its tune I like so much.

[@Kuokka77]

This is what AMP (Amiga Music Preservation) states: Robert Österbergh (ex. Robert Ling).

[@ExtremeWreck]

Awesome 90s music :D.

[@fulbertneant8429]

still listening in 2024

[@weepingscorpion8739]

I don't know why but it seems that the two most well known Commodore machines were just ahead of their time when it comes to sound production. The Commodore 64 had the SID which while it only had 3 voices could do some amazing things that it took people years to figure out. Atari's POKEY was probably the closest competitor at the time. Then comes the Amiga and just blew everybody away. Four channels each with 16 voices. And probably again, it took time until people really started knowing about and exploiting the full potential of the PAULA chip. Was it 1988 that Carsten Obarski's tracker program was released? I think it was 1988. I keep wondering whether the Amiga was how popular it was despite being a Commodore product considering how poorly managed the company was a lot of the time. Imagine what the company would have been like if run properly. I guess IBM clones would still have meant that the Amiga would have left the market but surely the company would have lasted longer? Maybe even have taken part in the 3D graphics revolution with the Hombre graphics adapter that I remember reading about a while back. Who knows?

[@DashsChannel]

Hyperbased and MODpilled

[@cyrilguillaume4792]

Best song ever on amiga

[@miha2689]

Fantastic music!

[@Locateson]

I had this on my DOS machine, so I had to name it HYPERBAS.MOD

[@nintendo1889x]

The Amiga has a very unique soundfont, I love it

[@jsrodman]

Maybe the Amiga culture? The Amiga itself had no sounds built in at all. Software supplied them all.

[@Mnnvint]

@@jsrodman Yeah, there was a "standard" set of samples which got used a lot more than others, which helped define the "sound" of the Amiga. In particular Karsten Obarski's sample disks, many of which were apparently samples of a Yamaha DX21. I think the iconic "slap bass" sample used in many Amiga modules came from there.

[@SegaMario]

Modern Vintage Gamer sent me here.

[@davidoli]

i know he used the same notes in the background, but i wonder if he's related somehow to this song and decided to do a homage

[@jabolo7570]

[@ipodsock]

best Amiga toon ever?

[@n00g75]

big tune !

[@cyrilguillaume4792]

favorite ever only amiga made it possible ;)

[@Snowwie88]

It is ProTracker on the Amiga.

[@8bitbubsy]

Olov Stener: Wrong, Avicii was born in 1989, and this song was made in somewhere in 1990-1991. :P

[@JOCKATEO]

it sounds like italo disco track

[@d0dge947]

This style was coined "Doskpop" back in the day (by Lizardking IIRC). It's basically Synthpop + Italo-Disco - vocals and lots of Amiga-Paula love.

[@vilmavelasquez4009]

👍💯🎧

[@Ungantor]

Man, this sounds super similar to the "Clouds" track from the Iridion 3D ost... You know, the 2001ish GBA game?... Wikipedia says they are influenced by the C64, so... Yeah, maybe they heard this at some point?...

[@Kylemsguy]

Shin’en was formed by former members of the demogroup Abyss. There’s no doubt they would have heard this and other demo compositions over the years.

[@TehTr0nik]

Thank you based amiga

[@94500dan]

Look for the babygang demo on c64 : Hexagone 2 (first part by Ludwig, music by ironcat)

[@vilmavelasquez4009]

😮😅 no era lo que buscaba pero está buenísima lo que yo estaba buscando era una canción que escuché mientras descargaba el programa de mozilla firefox para Windows xp mientras descargadas Este programa firefox te dejaba en espera con una hermosa melodía en piano nunca más la volví a escuchar y sigo buscándola hasta ahora si alguien ha escuchado alguna vez mientras descargo firefox para Windows XP me lo puede decir por favor 😢🥺🙏 es una hermosa melodía en piano sigo buscándolo

Try to find this great remix: WAYFINDER_firefox & tip - hyperbased (wayfinder's enigmatic remix)

[@Kuokka77]

After some digging, a 192kbps LAME encoded mp3 can be found from this release www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=51219

Yes, that´s it !

Насколько знаю, Amiga ProTracker

[@em00k]

You are incorrect. Each pattern takes around 1024 bytes (4bytes x 64rows x 4channels) - and using your suggested method doesn't allow you to use breaks.
