How to use all of these options
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(
Info windows:
Left shows page's number
Middle shows three different times, first one shows the increasing
time of the current module, the second shows the decreasing
time and the last one shows the total time since bootup
Right shows amount of free 'extra' memory
To select a module click left button on the name or press F1-F8 keys.
The output window on bottom right tells you every action on going.
After bootup there is program, which plays trought all modules of
Digital Disco II musicdisk. Because of our multitasking system you can
select a new module while other one is loading or decrunching. After
selecting a new module system breaks current operation and executes
new one.
There are six flashing lights on bottom left. 'Normal' flashes when you
select modules manually. 'Program' flashes when you are programming or
program is playing. When 'Random' flashes randomized program is playing.
'Load' flashes when system is loading tracks from disk. 'Decrunching' is on
while system is decrunching module. 'Error' light flashes when you have to
insert other disk.
PROGRAM You can program your play order. After clicking
select all modules what you want to listen. After
your selections, click gadget again and your program
will be executed. When program mode is on, you
can browse to next module by clicking this gadget.
To get back to normal mode just click the name of module.
Also same works in random mode.
CLEAR Currently playing program will be cleared when clicking
this.
RANDOM System generates randomized playing order.
TIME You can change time mode clicking this gadget. See more
information from 'Info windows'.
Also interface includes play, stop, pause, pageup and pagedown gadgets.
To restart module click stop and then play. When clicking pause you have to
click it again to continue playing. You can also use cursor keys to change
page. Pressing 'Help'-key or clicking right mousebutton you will get back
to the menu. In the menu you can use mouse to select articles directly.
When you have extra memory for storing modules, system will automatically
load tracks to memory. When both disks have been loaded to memory any disk
operation won't be needed.
Some features of this musicdisk:
--------------------------------
-recognizes and uses all available external drives
-recognizes all autoconfigurable memory boards (extra memory) and uses them
for storing modules
-modules will be automatically loaded in memory. The right side little
window will show amount of free extra memory
-this runs multitasking, which means for example you can select a new tune
while other tune is decrunching or loading.
-there is no break between tunes, because the old tune will be played until
the new one is ready for playing (loaded and/or decrunched)
-You can always remove disk while loading :-)
-you can always select a new module or command while system is loading,
decruncing or waiting for a disk
-because of these options this musicdisk requires 1MB memory, which means
you can have 0.5MB chip and 0.5 fast OR 1MB chip!
-this runs correctly under Kickstart 2.0
-also this has been tested on Amiga 3000 with 2MB chip and B2000 with GVP
combo II(22mhz) accelerator and of course this worked
-you can boot from external drives even if you are using software
bootselector (for example Action Replay's boot selector or Kickstart 2.0)
-the play order is programmable or random
-if you have Action Replay III, you may have troubles with external drives.
To fix it freeze, try to get directory of disk(dir 1:), exit from AR 3,
remove disk and insert it again. Now it should work OK.
Introductorium
--------------
Funny thing; I thought that this was supposed to be 0,5 minutes long
loader tune and under 50 kbytes. But later on I was told to make it
longer and still not to use more than 60 kbytes. The result is this tune
with cut samples and only 14 different patterns. Other members seemed
to like it, personally I consider it too small for a musicdisk tune
but what the hell...
Lonely Wolf
-----------
She is the beatiful lonely girl wandering around in a full disco and trying
to get somebody's (?) attention. Oh, I can't stand this boring spring any
more! Why can't it be already june when I and couple of my friends make
our (boozing) trip to Cyprus, Limassol (again) for two weeks. Those
lovely discos, those girls, the sun... Unfuckingbelievable, eh?
(Watch a film called "Ford Fairline" if you didn't get it, you won't be
disappointed).
Yeah, this tune was made almost immediately after Stormcenter, but this
time it was full discomusic!!! Personally (and many people agree) I think
this is the best digiloop tune I have ever made.
Jumping danceshoes
------------------
This piece of music was composed after we had chosen the tunes that
would be in our musicdisk, so we had to remove dance-beat 5, a 382
kilobytes long "digiloopremix-composition". So there might be a little
unused space on these disks because this song is only (???) 336 kilobytes
long, I don't know how the coders are going to fill it. There are some
loops and the solo of black or white copied and transformed from Michael
Jackson CD but all the other stuff plus solos are totally self-invented.
I had fun while making my own echo-version of the black or white-solo,
so don't take it too seriously!
Trip over skies
---------------
This is an old tune that I made for a music-compo last summer. I still
like it, b'coz it's one of the most original songs of mine. I made some
fixes to it to prevent some "audiobugs" (weird word?) happening. This tune
is also the main reason for me being in Chrome, since Shark invited me to
this group after hearing this piece of music. Most of all I like that
loooong sample at the beginning, because it was my first test of digitizing
samples from synthesizer.
Stormcenter
-----------
I digitized some pieces from the album of Prince and I just had to make
a tune where I could use those unbelievable vocals I just had digitized.
I think that singing is something that is never used enough in computer
music, so here we go: "Hi-frequency singing in a digital tune". Listen
to this about 4 minutes and AC/DC-maniacs will probably find someting
familiar (?)...
Sins of an Angel
----------------
This tune was also supposed to be used at a demo, but somebody told me that
it will be on this musicdisk, so I had to make some kind of a name for it.
Usually it is quite difficult to invent a good name for a tune.
Personally I listen my tunes through a couple of times and imagine what is
happening when the music is playing in the background. The thing that pops
to my mind will be somehow transformed into the name of the tune.
(As a matter of fact this tune was called just a 3-part-introtune...)
I think that the second part is the best, but U got the freedom of choice.
Sadisfaction
------------
This was composed in two nights from 23.00 to 01.30 and so the feeling in
this tune is really very sentimental and sleepy (?). I also made another
tune very much like this one, since I love to express my mood in these
tunes, but there wasn't enough space to fit it in this musicdisk (it's
a pity). We thought we'd use this song in some kind of a disc-magazine, but
that idea died a long time ago. I consider this tune one of the best
I have ever written, although it doesn't contain disco-beat at all.
Silence of Monastry
-------------------
A cute and interesting tune that really is different from others. I had fun
when composing those pianodrives! At the end with full speed ahead! Some
loops are taken from "Adventures in funk space" by Bingoboys, a song really
worth listening.
This is one strange tune too, b'coz some love and some hate this song, but
say what you want: I love it anyway. if you like this kind of music and
mostly discomusic too, then I suggest u should buy "The best of Bingoboys"
a totally great (and only?) CD from them.
I would send my special greetings to :
Unknown Artist (beer rules), Rocket of Auroro (sorry about some long
delays...), Norsman of Omega (try to get some more new tunes) and to all
Chrome-members, especially to thedesigners of this musicdisk!!!
