I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES: FIRST OF ALL..: THIS DEMO IS CALLED ++ NOISY DREAMS ++ w OR YOU COULD CALL IT OUR "FIRST" DEMO +++ UNTIL REASONLY WE CONCENTRATED OUR WORK IN MAKING COOL UTILITY-COLLECTIONS. BUT NOW WE'VE ENTERED THE 68000 FOR GOOD IN THE FUTURE YOU'LL BE HEARING M U C H MORE FROM US, I PROMISE YOU THAT! LET ME START WITH OUR NEWEST MEMBER: "AGENT 4711" x "4711" IS OUR SWAPPER... IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH US HE'S THE ONE TO CONTACT... BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF ONE THING: WE ARE LEGAL !!! y SO YOU CAN FORGET ALL ABOUT SWAPPING ANYTHING BUT SOURCE-CODES, PUBLIC-DOMAIN, AND DEMOS WITH US.. ALSO, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE QUITE NEW WITH THIS, WE ARE STILL TRYING TO KEEP SOME KIND OF STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK.. SO KEEP THE "FILTHY" STUFF AWAY, WHEN YOU CONTACT US.. WELL... BACK TO THE SUBJECT.. AS YOU ALLREADY KNOW AM I "BEETLEJUICE" z AND MY WORK IS BASICLY TO CODE. THIS I AM DOING WITH "MARVIN" x WHO'S ALSO OUR MUSICIAN OUR 4TH. MEMBER IS "BADMAN" y AND YOU SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO SEE SOME OF HIS GREAT PICTURES IN OUR FOLLOWING DEMOS FINALLY COMES "CATO THE PREDATOR" x - CATO IS OUR "PD-FREAK", AND HE CODES PUBLIC DOMAIN LIKE A WILD HORSE, SO WE'LL BE REPRESENTED ON THAT AREA WITH HIM NOW ENOUGH TALK FOR NOW, HERE COMES THE CREDITS FOR THIS DEMO (STAY TUNED FOR THE POST SCRIPTUM ON MY LITTLE "NOISY DREAM"): CONCEPT AND IDEA: ++<> BEETLEJUICE <>++ w THE MUSIC IS TAKEN FROM SOME COLLECTION, AND IS CALLED >> HAPPY << w CODING: ++<> BEETLEJUICE <>++ z GRAPHICS: ++<> JAIS <>++ w AND ++<> BEETLEJUICE <>++ x ... THANXXS GOES TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE, FOR IN SOME WAY HAVING HELPED US TO COMPLETE THIS DEMO : ++THE WHISTLE (DDT)++ FOR HOLDING THIS MEETING FROM WHERE THIS DEMO IS RELEASED ... ++ REACT (PLASMA FORCE) FOR LEARNING ME HOW TO USE THE BLITTER ... ++RATHLINN (PLASMA FORCE)++ FOR HELPING ME WITH SPRITES, AND THE SEQUENCER ... ++JAIS++ (HE HE) FOR GETTING SO ANNOYED WHEN HE COULDN'T BEAT ME IN KICK-OFF ... HI'S AND HELLOS TO THE OTHER PEOPLE PRESENT AT THE MEETING: +"INFOCOMIE" AND "INFIX" OF DDT+ <> +"FOX" OF UPFRONT+ <> +THE FORMER C64 - "SNOWMAN" NOW ON THE AMIGA, BUT WITH NO HANDLE YET+ <> +HAHN+ WEIL PFUNGSTADT ZU WEIT WEG IST.. (MY GERMAN IS TOO BAD, SO ENOUGH FOR THIS TIME!!) <> AND THEN PERHAPS ONE OR TWO MORE PEOPLE, WHO'S NAMES I HAVE FORGOTTEN .. SORRY ! NORMAL GREETINGS GOES TO : >> THE REST OF ++THE DEPREDATORS++ .. ++PLASMA FORCE++ & ++UPFRONT++ << AS I PROMISED YOU BEFORE, HERE COMES MY LITTLE "NOISY DREAM": ANYBODY WHO HAVE ANY PLANS ON DEVELOPING A NEW VERSION OF NOISE- OR SOUNDTRACKER .... LISTEN UP !!! BECAUSE HERE IS SOME IDEAS.. 1ST: LET US HAVE SOME MORE FLEXIBLE EDIT-FUNCTIONS A'LA CUT, COPY AND PASTE.. THE BUFFER IS ALREDY THERE, WHY NOT USE IT PROPERLY ?? 2ND: THE AMIGA HAS G R E A T SOUNDFACILLITIES .. WE ALL KNOW THAT BUT WHY NOT GIVE OUR TRACKER THE POSSIBILITY OF COMMMUNICATING WITH THE OUTSIDE .. GIVE US M I D I FACILITIES !!! 3RD: WE HAVE SEEN SAMPLER OPTIONS IN SOME OF THE EARLIER VERSIONS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ALLWAYS ON BEHALF OF OTHER FUNCTIONS, AND QUIT THAT LOUSY FONT! ... REMEBER ALSO TO INCLUDE THE "SAVE" AND "LOAD PATTERN" OPTION UNDER THE "DISK.OP"-MENU ... 4TH. BRAVO .. NOW WE HAVE A "CLEAR" OPTION WHICH CLEARS ALL SONG AND INSTRUMENT DATA. THAT'S REALLY NICE, BUT WHY NOT GIVE THE POSSIBILITY OF CLEARING SOME OF THE DATA.. LIKE "CLEAR SONG" OR "ZERO SAMPLE". 5TH: THERE SHOULD BE AN EXPANDED RECORD FUNCTION CALLED "P.RECORD" OR "PATTERN RECORD", WHERE YOU COULD RECORD MUSIC (FROM MIDI) IN REAL-TIME OVER MORE THAN ONE PATTERN. THIS COULD BE COMBINED WITH A MULTIPLE RECORD OPTION WHERE YOU COULD RECORD IN MORE THAN ONE VOICE AT THE TIME.. 6TH: LAST BUT NOT LEAST: THE EDITING WINDOW AS WELL AS THE "DISK OP." AND "PLST" WINDOWS ARE TOO SMALL! EXPAND THE WINDOWS WHEN THE FUNCTIONS ARE CHOOSEN SO THAT WE'LL HAVE A FULL-SCREEN NOISE- OR SOUNDTRACKER THE NEXT TIME WE WANT TO SPEND SOME HOURS IN COMPANY WITH OUR FAVORITE COMPUTER ...... OK! OK! OK! .. I KNOW, THAT THIS IS A LOT OF "DEMANDS" FOR A TRACKER, AND I AM SURE, THAT IT WILL REQUIRE PERHAPS TO MUCH MEMORY TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE MENTIONED OPTIONS, BUT LET'S HOPE THAT ++REACT++ OF THE PLASMA FORCE WILL SOON FINISH HIS "MAESTRO"-TRACKER WHICH SHOULD BRING SOLID CHANGES TO THE WORLD OF AMIGA MUSIC CREATION... THE PICTURE YOU SEE IN THIS DEMO WAS DRAWN AS A BRIEF LAY-OUT FOR THE "MAESTRO"-TRACKER ... DON'T CONSIDER IT AS THE FINAL ONE! END OF SCROLL-TEXT ..
