Hmm, a black goat of the woods. Wonder if we get lots of necro black metal.

[2] : 02. Jul 2005 13:31   
Why not a C64.SK SID compo, than Goat Compo - Unless that is later on in the year ;)
Concerned composer

[3] : 02. Jul 2005 14:32   
[2] SID compo is (almost) always starting on 8. october.
CreaMD

[4] : 02. Jul 2005 14:37   
GT2 songs will be amazing!!!!
Nata

[5] : 02. Jul 2005 23:41   
Just a reminder to all participants: send all the commandline options you were using when composing along with your entry. Or simply write down the SID model, speed multiplier, hardrestart ADSR value etc. Also, I think .sng files shouldn’t be published until submitting phase closes - otherwise I will personally be tempted to snatch some tricks from them, yea I know I’m lame ;)
rndl

[6] : 03. Jul 2005 02:26   
Btw. I would like permission to rename all song filenames to one lowercase word, like Unleash The Fucking Fury -> unleash.sng

[7] : 03. Jul 2005 10:44   
MSDOS purist? :)
puterstar

[8] : 03. Jul 2005 11:32   
[5] Good point. SNG files will be released after the compo, good idea, thanx.
[6] I don?t think you will have problem with that, if the full songname can be stored inside the .sng file.
CreaMD

[9] : 03. Jul 2005 12:18   
sounds interesting that the development proccess of a great crossplatform music editor goes on. now compiling the linux version , playing around a bit and try to compete :)

[10] : 03. Jul 2005 12:37   
People will steal our tricks afterwards. :_( I wasted a lot of time to learn how to compose and make "good" instruments, so that is (%&??#) The only thing we can do is to erase all instrument-names (!?!) and and split up *.sng with SngSplit.exe.... hehe ;) And the other thing I find important: everyone should write his - e-mail - to first instrument name
Nata

[11] : 03. Jul 2005 13:13   
[10] Everyone can try to reproduce Jeroen?s style, or Hubbard?s style or Steve Rowland?s style of composing and sounds, but noone can steal their talent. ;-)
CreaMD

[12] : 03. Jul 2005 13:29   
Since Goattracker is open source, I think there should be no problem with releasing the song files. Just consider it to be an Amiga mod where you can rip the samples from, and maybe even learn a few composing tricks.
Hein

[13] : 03. Jul 2005 13:37   
Plus you can reverse-engineer instruments anyway with (approximately) Cubic Player or Vacsid or (accurately) by dumping SID register data.

[14] : 03. Jul 2005 20:10   
where do you want these then? I’m also up for liberating a few old editor files for people to learn from (my mistakes, mostly:) and generally do as they wish with
sack

[15] : 03. Jul 2005 22:33   
[10] - I’d rather take that as a compliment if someone uses my instruments. That would mean I made them well ;)
rndl

[16] : 03. Jul 2005 23:46   
lasse, pity that tie note combined with arpeggios in wavetable doesn’t work properly anymore :/ gonna fix it?
jammer

[17] : 04. Jul 2005 00:13   
Care to explain more accurately? The little I tested it worked just as I expected. GT2 has now different effecthandling in wavetable (actually, GT1.xx had none) - if you have nofrequency-change steps in wavetable, effects execute like normal while wavetable runs. It may be that you’re relying on GT1.xx anomalies and expect that behaviour to be exactly duplicated, well then you’re gonna be disappointed.

[18] : 04. Jul 2005 00:31   
it was someting like this: one step - note, instrument (arpeggio in wavetable) another step - different note, another instument with diferent wavetable and 300 effect in effect column it’s impossible to do it now :)
jammer

[19] : 04. Jul 2005 00:39   
Jammer, It would be better to produce example in .sng ;-)
CreaMD

[20] : 04. Jul 2005 01:37   
Well, that trick isn’t directly applicable anymore - remember how in GT1.xx instruments were confined to their own wavetable, now they can jump around as they wish. I’ll see if some workaround can be made (preferably with player size not growing much)

[21] : 04. Jul 2005 03:25   
V2.05 has now "instrument legato" which I guess can roughly solve the problem (create a legato instrument - legato enabled with HR/1stwave param 00, then use 8XX to change startwaveform as you need)

[22] : 04. Jul 2005 08:51   
I wonder at which revision number GT2 will be at the end of the compo. I see that the deadline is the 15th; has it been from the beginning or is CreaMD extending it for every new tweak? :-)
Anders Carlsson

[23] : 04. Jul 2005 10:33   
[22] Question is? ;-) Do you really need the latest version of goat tracker to create your tune? Don’t talk, walk. ;-)
CreaMD

[24] : 04. Jul 2005 13:25   
[13] - "Vacsid", never heard about this tool (c64 or PC?) I prefer SID2MIDI text output: For this purpose i wrote a table that can convert SID2MIDI wavetables to GT relative/absolute notes, Pulsewidth and even 8580 filter-settings ;) BUT, you have to do all by hand ....
Nata

[25] : 04. Jul 2005 13:27   
It’s an old DOS program, very picky. Probably won’t run at all in windows.

[26] : 04. Jul 2005 13:32   
Ok, in DosBox Emulator it would run, but for me this is to unflexible, however... ;)
Nata

[27] : 04. Jul 2005 15:28   
[24] What kind of table? I have been using the sid2midi text export for some time too, but can this actually converted in something more handy, read: easier to use?
Maha Ganesh

[28] : 04. Jul 2005 18:08   
Hmm, SID2MIDI output seems truly painful due to frequency & pulsewidth displayed in decimal.

[29] : 04. Jul 2005 19:56   
Hmm, for me it works fine There isn’t any painful: I made a list with all possible SID2MIDI/Goat settings and there is nothing to do with calculator ;)
Nata

[30] : 05. Jul 2005 12:02   
Ah yet another GT compo.. Hope to see lotsa fine tunes comming up... looking forward to hear them:)

[31] : 05. Jul 2005 12:15   
Thanks for Siddump!
Maha Ganesh

[32] : 05. Jul 2005 12:17   
[30] GH - and how about some of yours?
CreaMD

Having my birthday on 15july.. :) but it’s been a while I worked with GT.. maybe I can have a look at it sometime..

[34] : 05. Jul 2005 14:58   
[33] Same here.. but I’m sure it will be fun ;-)

What sid model is it made for? Or doesn\’t that matter?
Hein

[37] : 05. Jul 2005 18:21   
8580. It is set inside the sidfile.
rndl

[38] : 05. Jul 2005 18:30   
Ok, thanks..
Hein

[39] : 05. Jul 2005 18:46   
Why dump sid data to copy the others style? I prefer composers who got their own style, no matter how good they are :)

[40] : 05. Jul 2005 18:53   
Could be for learning purposes. I see nothing wrong in peeking into other people’s tricks (although I don’t do that myself, at least not anymore)
rndl

[41] : 05. Jul 2005 19:17   
Yeah, especially some technical things, like hardrestart settings & timings are quite enlightening to see. But I don’t think it’s very easy to copy the "soul" of a beautiful passage from a SID dump anyway..

[42] : 05. Jul 2005 20:24   
2nd entry added.
CreaMD

[43] : 05. Jul 2005 20:30   
2nd entry is PAL, 8580.

God bless sid2sng.exe!
MONTSERRAT

[48] : 05. Jul 2005 22:57   
Um, where can I get that?

[49] : 06. Jul 2005 00:43   
But mp3tosid.exe may be even more useful, if it distinguished instruments, used advanced best-fit algorithms to create wavetables etc and also inserted the notation data. The more complex mp3 files may need to be converted with the -digi parameter to multiplex one or two digi channels on top. :) (hmm.. may be good material for a April’s Fools joke)
Anders Carlsson

[50] : 06. Jul 2005 10:59   
- [47] - "sid2sng.exe" ?????!???!??, just a joke?
Nata

I think he was talking about sng2sid.exe

Hmm, another fictional utility?

[59] : 07. Jul 2005 00:23   
i have an impression that $55 waveform is interpreted in totally different way (strange). what is more, legato instruments are inaudible after in the psid target files :|
jammer

[60] : 07. Jul 2005 00:42   
Jammer, I noticed no such thing (legato missing) when I just tested, with new version v2.06. Btw. this is probably worst possible place for bugreports.

[61] : 07. Jul 2005 08:40   
sorry. besides, i still got 2.05 :D
jammer

[62] : 07. Jul 2005 10:27   
[59] afaik 55 waveform combination is inaudible on old sid (6501) maybe there is the problem?. The rest about different version of players in older Goat Tracker 2 release version you can find in csdb thread discussion. The latest version should be okay.

Hein

[71] : 08. Jul 2005 18:21   
Then this discussion should be called "Composers only" :P

[72] : 08. Jul 2005 18:29   
Competing people only, you dont have to be a musician to enjoy Cadavers tool, as long as it can keep you busy for a few hours.

I’ve never played much with any editor with tables for params ;-)
Raf

[74] : 08. Jul 2005 23:40   
Nice tunes so far, folks! The composers are pretty obvious, as usual. Except maybe for tune #3, but I got a hunch who that could be. Keep it up!

[75] : 09. Jul 2005 17:18   
Btw. if you wonder why tune #3 sounds like ADSR-bugging, it uses a fairly perverted wavetable:
09 <- Note init frame, testbit+gateon
80 <- Gate off
41 <- On again.. I guess SID doesn’t like this very much

[76] : 09. Jul 2005 19:33   
Replaced the Everlasting Annoyance.sid by fixed version. Thanx to Cadaver for help. (if anyone thinks that it was unfair to improve that tune, then please apologise our behaviour but one of the important goals of this compo is to help potential new users of Goat Tracker 2 to learn healthy and effective composing practices). File is about 1kb shorter btw. ;-)
CreaMD

[77] : 09. Jul 2005 22:56   
go ahead, compose more, i know those 4 entries inside out now

[78] : 12. Jul 2005 10:25   
5th tune added. I explained the purpose of compo in personal letter to it’s author, but as I didn’t have rule about "sending only state of the art tunes" I can’t do anything else than release it. There is 6th tune announced, just I’m waiting for it’s author who is going to extend it a bit.
CreaMD

[79] : 12. Jul 2005 12:14   
Truly avantgardistic. :)

[80] : 12. Jul 2005 12:36   
Actually I don’t think it’s that bad.. it shows how to achieve some wacky sounds and annoy your audience :) Nothing but state-of-the-art funk/jazz tunes would be boring, after all

[81] : 12. Jul 2005 12:45   
5th entry is ca. 2:55 long - just listen carefully and you’ll find that out. :)

[80] When are we going to enjoy a doom-metal piece from you??
Hein

[92] : 12. Jul 2005 19:40   
Hmm, would overlong lowpass filtered powerchords be very entertaining? Especially when there is realistically not enough memory to have a low ominous voice singing about doom over the world for more than a few lines :)

[93] : 12. Jul 2005 19:51   
While we’re at different styles of metal music, "Ledermaus" reminds me of one pagan-metal band from Poland: Perunwit. Exactly their sense of structure and melody.
rndl

[94] : 12. Jul 2005 19:59   
[92] Some deep grunting would do.. But I admit, the slow doommetal speed could get annoying for some of us neurotic sidlisteners. [93] Structure? Melody? different harmonies? I must say the 1 note chords are more interesting than my search for the perfect 2 finger chord (introduced by Drax)..
Hein

[95] : 12. Jul 2005 20:02   
True doom metal has to have clean vocals.. Solemn & grim.

[96] : 13. Jul 2005 10:27

The order of votes should be as it appears on the GT2 compo page, or should it rather be alphabetical?

as the tunes are ordered.. the votes should be ordered. Yes add your humble opinions. Comments are welcome.

anyone tried polytracker yet? can you mix samples and sid sound? does it sound like amiga-mods? (i didn’t like the sound of amiga-mods very much)

[149] : 25. Jul 2005 13:28   
[148] there will be demotunes released soonish. You will hear for yourself. It?s 4 channel digi. No SID oscillators.
CreaMD

[150] : 25. Jul 2005 13:42   
It sounds like Noisetracker (was it Noisetracker?...) with 8 channels. You know, samples but with certain lo-fi touch ;)

I’m really interested, how GT2-compo-tunes sound on a real machine. Maybe a HardSID-owner (6581/8580) could make some nice ogg-files (not mp3!) and put them online.
Nata

[161] : 28. Jul 2005 05:20   
[160]: i can do this later today for the 6581 tunes, but i can only do 8580 if I find a working one here (which might happen). of course, hopefully someone else will by then, but if they don’t, i’ll find it

[162] : 28. Jul 2005 05:28   
[161]: it was sitting under your bed. wake up first, then post to c64.sk. now get back to recording (should have files uploaded in an hour or so)

[163] : 28. Jul 2005 06:13   

[164] : 28. Jul 2005 13:22   
thanks, alih. really interesting how the high pass filter with high cutoff values behaves incorrectly with reSID 8580 (the sound is too muddy).

[167] : 29. Jul 2005 10:30   
As I expected, reSID output is closer If reSID-iterpolation is on. Unfortunately it’s off again by default :_(
Nata

[168] : 29. Jul 2005 11:13   
Well IMO, it’s wrong to have a program that doesn’t work right on 300-400MHz machines by default :)

[175] : 29. Jul 2005 16:05   
[168] Well, maybe you are right, Cadaver. But on my Computer reSID interpolation is always on.;) Unfortunately SIDplay2/w has even no option to change interpolation off/on :(
Nata

[176] : 29. Jul 2005 18:09   
I think resid is closer to a real sid without interpolation.. the crispy filters should be crispy, and not smooth..
Hein

[177] : 29. Jul 2005 19:18   
Interpolation should in theory reveal more accurately the sound reSID is producing .. so maybe it exposes the flaws better?

Roman’s tune isnt included in the demofiles. I thought it was a package deal.. bah, I like that tune, even if its a cover.
Hein

[189] : 30. Jul 2005 16:52   
Like I explained to CreaMD, I don’t want to get infringement charges in case CRL wants to update their games to next-gen triple A projects. Other covers were dropped too, except GhostTrackers where I think the Ghostbusters melody isn’t really 1-to-1 and besides it’s short..

[190] : 30. Jul 2005 16:53   
hehe.. ok, the nice icon is a good compensation.
Hein

[197] : 31. Jul 2005 02:05   
@ [186] I made ledermaus thought it was worth a try...Was my first try on SID-music... Also thought Kikstart would place better, great remix Nevertheless, I think there were some great, but too conventional tunes :P GT, great tool, have to learn much about the tables though :)

[198] : 31. Jul 2005 02:37   
@[196] Well that was definitely the more dull & stagnant side of your style. You know you’ve done much better in the past, so what do you expect?

[199] : 31. Jul 2005 10:11   
My favourite tune is Everlasting Anoyance, really nice oldskool-song!
Nata

[200] : 31. Jul 2005 15:38   
[187] Yep, been busy with production and distribution issues but everything is fine now. Looking forward to the polly tracker compo, see ya there :)

[201] : 31. Jul 2005 16:37   
@197: I don’t think that "My Own Hyperspace" or "Ghost Trackers" were conventional (especially the latter - learn from it how to break the rules skillfully). On the contrary, "Ledermaus" was, somehow. Check "Into the Sunset" from the last Sidcompo, for example.
rndl

[202] : 01. Aug 2005 01:13   
@201 Okay, I agree, these tunes have some great and clever parts but then I guess I am not a conventional sidfan :) For example "My own Hyperspace", I like it untill the main melody starts. In my eyes this "main instrument" is too high, ugly (sorry) and just not what I prefer. IMHO this kind of instrument is very often used in sid-songs. Maybe it is the typical sid sound which everybody likes and I’m making me enemys now... But hey it’s just my opinion and I’m a rookie on this sector. ;) So, nevermind (btw where can I find "into the sunset")

[203] : 01. Aug 2005 01:23   
[202] in VARIOUS/S-Z/Six/Into_The_Sunset.sid its a bit the same style as your ledermaus, including nice alt saxophone..
Hein
