hard to believe this is 4 channels. It's certainly one of the best sounding 4 channel mod out there. very nostalgic for me, it reminds me of playing "ShadowWraith"
I used the Amiga for music. I loved ripping sounds from games. I used many trackers but my top tracker was created by Marco Nellisson (Sound Tracker Pro 2) which allowed far longer sample time than any other, but it also had many other abilities than any other tracker upto that time . It could rip entire exe and convert it where samples were hidden. IE there were no user folders (auto boot discs) It was good fun. I had a game called Klaktris (a type of Tetris) which had a Mod folder titled: Gaurdian Mods, and i remixed those tracks. I can not find that game, yet alone those Mods. I keep looking. Totaaly smitten forever!! 8bit is still fantastic. 😋
The part from 1:01 and onwards really hits me right in the soul. This gives me nostalgic feelings on a whole other level. Great module, still after all this time.

This was the good old days... so many composers came onto the scene because of mods. These days... it is lost. Nothing like that. Instead of getting better stuff... they just made it more complicated and impossible to track for beginners...
Renoise is worth checking out - it's kind of FT2 on steroids. Lots, and lots, and LOTS of steroids. There's a lot to it, but you can do absolutely pro level stuff if you want to, and it's as easy to get into as any tracker (perhaps moreso because it's currently-developed and has lots of documentation).
I'm listening to this while coding basic random color pattern animations for my own viewing pleasure, and that soundtrack is just perfect. I feel like a I'm in some 80's Tron world.
If I'd start doing tracker music today, I'd go with MilkyTracker. It's compatible with most of the tracker formats and easy to use. There are also several tutorials available for it. I'm not sure if there are many tutorials for Fasttracker, I learned it myself by reading the helps and trial/error (the built-in help is pretty comprehensive actually).
I would say "... with added VST and Rewire support", becouse with FT2 you can use MIDI too. Both in and out, though just limited to one midi port. And with that one MIDI port can man make quite much when tied together with hardware synths or VSTs in another machine. The Renoise rival can be also Madtracker 2.6.1, and difference is that it runs also on old systems as WIN98SE with no problems and You still get that midi/vst/multiple analog outputs/ReWire support.
@SylvieMunro There is software: renoise. A modern tracker, works on Windows 7 without problems. These samples are old synths - use the old ones or get in touch with VST-Instruments which emulate older hardware (yes, renoise can do VSTi!)
no-one is limiting to use the old computers with old software to do such things with exact same way. Also you can use the new software with little bit newer computers if you dare. MilkyTracker, ScaleTracker, MadTracker, Renoise, Psycle, et alia
Quite but not quite. Vintage mods have this grainy sound to them because of the older-technology analog-to-digital converters in them. I know there is a CD Dump button in FT, but a lot of samples had quite low quality to them and were sampled off old synths and records. My point is - it would take a bit of effort to sound as vintage as this. Music made on new trackers will sound different and quite like most conventional DAWs on the market these days. It's also down to the composer. Tracker composers back in the days used to put weeks/months of work into their masterpieces. Not quite so these days... The days of automation/procedural generation and other generous tools... I am rambling, you know all this as good as I do if not better. :)
This sounds dangerously close to the great Enigma demo in a number of ways in fact. It must have surely been blasted at the time. Regards to chord type struture, pattern's shape and various initial melody strands, it's very similar and almost as if paying homage to the great orignal piece- i'm guessing it was Actual tune parts aren't as strong though i would personally say
It WAS expensive, now thats 17 year old card. About conflicts, have heard a lot about it too, but the most compatible was GUS ACE if you needed that GF1 CPU, GUS MAX still needed experimenting that which DMA and IRQs, ports (and physical slots) in order to get it in working. for me it works with 16bit DMA only in DOS. It depends on other cards in machine a lot. The challenge for me still is GUS Interwave PnP. So far all demos work with that GUS ACE/MAX card. And my 486 machine is noname brand
There is nowadays lot of help on the net and knowhow about GUS cards and it really is worth do dive in deep if interested. But so far the best solution is to make that machine with multiple startoptions-config.sys for dos (no EMS, and just having XMS) and to start configuring with GUS. even items initialization order plays a role (to init network card first or after GUS etc...). but with patience you get eventually ALL those GUS cards in working order. SB16 is good for FT2 with 32 channel XM.
Yeah you'd think. Actually this is the first time i've heard the piece and it seems some care has been put into making it not just a copy. It's very similar in places and it makes me feel it must have been a homage though
i have a little question, are there any tutorials out there on how to use fastracker II? i've always wanted to try it but i have no clue how to actually use it or get samples :/ it's very different from Famitracker which is what i use. any help will be useful ^^
The lead sound in this one is taken from the Hyperbased mod, as it says in the sample text. Melodies, beats and all are quite different and original. I feel it's got pretty little to do with Firefox and Tip, the whole air of the tune as well as the big beats are nothing like Hyperbased.
Download the module, download Foobar, the Encoder Pack, and the DUMB module component, and rip the module in whatever codec you want. I personally prefer to rip in 24-bit lossless or uncompressed, but whatever floats your boat.
Fernrat You can download the .mod file from ModArchive and then open it with OpenMPT (aka ModPlug Tracker). You should find the drums in the samples list. It is possible to save them as .wav files from there.
I do, and I have for this purpose still 486 machine with 3 soundcards (GUS, SB AWE64, Roland). And I keep it with spares and several GUS cards, different CPUs, but with 32MB RAM and 40GB HDD, several combined dos versions. Its also for demos from those times and S3M, MTM, MID, XM, IT. Besides I also compose music using it, though I have also Pentium 4 for this. My thought has been always "Pentium I _may_ have, but 486 with GUS+SB - I _must_ have". I have always soft spot for this demoscene.
I wonder if the Volker Tripp in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-33M6G0_mqX0.html - is the same as the Volker Tripp who was Jester? I don't imagine it's a very common name.
You never heard of the game Stardust. One of the main reasons for buying that game was to listen to its level music. In fact even the menu music was fantastic.
+Noah Covert Jester lives in Germany and Firefox lives in Sweden, it is very unlikely that they would've crossed paths back in the scene days when these songs were made.
Back then there were a lot of parties where all sceners met, specially Germans often met people from Scandinavia! Besides, Jester did use samples from the tune Firefox and Tip made for Enigma. Ripping samples could be done without even leaving your comfy living room you know. :)
Phenomema's Enigma demo was legendary. It was even used in many shops to demonstrate the Amigas. I bet most Amigans had a copy of the demo. I sure did, and all my Amiga friends as well, and I'm sure Jester had a copy.
music was great in the early times of the internet (1990 - 2002 maybe) now it's just curse words repeated for 5 minutes i understand that music is subjective but i really don't understand how you could enjoy this kind of music
@@svenkarlsen2702 what??? anyway you can have your opinion and I can have mine, just because someone else doesn't like something you like doesn't mean you have to say it in every comment section whenever you get the chance. also using emojis is really childish and noone will take you seriously if you continue using them.
no this is a complete rip from the Enigma demo - it uses all the same samples used in the tune written by Firefox/Tip.. that's why people blasted it at the time.
GUS - it is super expensive and poor compatitability at the DOS era.... lots of DOS game conflict with it and hang..... but it sounds really great, totally kill Creative Sound Blaster series.........
bit of a cheeky rip this. Not as good I'd personally say. Bit too rambling regarding the melodies which don't conclude in the same terrific way of the first piece. Not awful though but not as distinct
