It's one of these cold and dark winter days, so I've been surfing retro websites and found: http://remix.kwed.org - there you will find a base filled with remixes (or 'cover versions') of old C64 tunes. My favourite is "Last Ninja (ninja go rock)" but there are so many more cool ones (the "International Karate - Rock" remix is great as well). It's a very cool website, check it out!

Hi all,

I'm into retro-music myself (well, I should say "I was" as not been able to find any free time since long time ago) and I would like to share some good websites I look into often:

http://www.milkywayunderground.net/
http://www.tscc.de/fadtwilg.html
http://www.ym2149.com/osv/
http://www.atarimusic.net/

And to listen the best 8-bit music: http://www.last.fm/listen/globaltags/8-bit Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
datavase

Ya, that reminds me...nobody ever replied to the first two songs I wrote on computers. They being:

10 PRINT "^G"

and the 2nd being:

10 PRINT "^G"
20 GOTO 10

Sorry, I didn't get it. My only experience programing in Basic was in the Amstrad CPC, and AFAIK the commands for sound where ENV and SOUND.

Can you give any clue? ;-)

Oh. Ok. Anyway ^G (Ctrl-G) is an annoying beep. The "20 GOTO 10" is (obviously) a loop so it's one long incredibly annoying tone that doesn't quit until you break the code with Ctrl-C.

Really cool if you want to annoy people.

Looks like BASIC programming, but I'm not familiar with the type of application/platform that is for.. Looks like something that would make an annoying noise though, if it's for music. :P

Lol, I understood the GOTO instruction ;-) but I didn't know about the beep with ^G.

I remember some people were doing music directly on Basic or even on Assembler on the Z-80 based computers.

As a Synchronet's SysOp you probably have noticed that there a few files under exec\tone with extension .ton. I don't know how to use them, but it totally looks like musical files.

I think those are intended to be used with Synchronet's sysop page feature.. I
think you can configure Synchroent to play one of those files when a user pages you.

I remember some people were doing music directly on Basic or even on Assembler on the Z-80 based computers.

While learning BASIC back in the day with my TRS-80 CoCo 2, I found
the commands to play particular notes and their duration, so I
wrote a simple program to play Ghost Riders (in the sky). Took me
MUCH longer to program than to just grab the guitar and play it. LOL
