Sunday Jam #78 : Chilled Groove for MIDI Tracker on RC2014


video upload by MIDI IN

"Last week on the second channel I revealed a project that I've been working on for a long time, my tracker for RC2014, an 8-bit Z80-based computer. [videos below]

It should sound very similar. In that case I was using MT32 mode on the MT32-Pi, and I've made a few changes as I've transcribed it. RC2014: https://z80kits.com"

Project reveal : Tracker software for RC2014

video upload by MIDI IN

"this is a terminal-based MIDI Tracker for RC2014 (an 8-bit Z80 computer).
I like making music as well as programming, trackers are a traditional method of creating chiptunes and I want to make some more serious software to supply with my MIDI module.
As well as MIDI output, a MIDI keyboard can be used to input notes. You can copy and paste a note, or you can mark a range and copy and paste a block of notes to repeat a phrase, copy to a different track, or even a different pattern.

Chilled groove - Amiga + MT32-Pi

video upload by MIDI IN

"Something a bit different musically - I wanted to try to capture the chilled groove of a couple of Groove Armada songs.

I composed this in Logic, and then keyed it note-by-note into Octamed (took hours). Octamed is sending the notes as MIDI to my MT32-Pi (details about the setup at the end of the video). I'm really happy with the result. Some of the instruments sound very realistic but some not so good (sampled brass always sounds dodgy!)
