Signal In Disarray by Arkos [web]
An audio showcase grew into a small, small demo! The 125 displayed colors take advantage of the original CPC screen. It may however look boring on a modern/big screen, sorry for this. Code, music, player, tracker: Targhan/Arkos. Font, logo, color consultant: SuperSylvestre/Les Sucres en Morceaux. Presented at Revision 2026. Tools used: - Rasm by Roudoudou/FlowerCorp - Ace-DL by Roudoudou/FlowerCorp - AMSpirit by DManu - Arkos Tracker 3.6 (SID powered!) - ZX0 by Einar Saukas, spke and uniabis - DSK by Sid/Impact - AddAmsdosHeader by Zigazou Special thanks to: - Doclands/Overlander for pushing me into making SID (damn, I'm so weak-minded). - Zik and Offset for their technical advice. - 64 Nops for their technical articles. - Roudoudou for his tools, quick answers, fast fixes and new feature integrations. - All the people on Discord who answered quickly my technical or tools-related questions. - Krusty, Eliot, Cracky, Hicks, who tried to help me figuring out one last nasty "bug" when linking. This demo features ST-like SID, using Arkos Tracker 3.6 (to be released soon). The SID engine features: - on CPC old, one SID channel at a time (on any channel). - no grit! no disgraceful buzz! - no clicks on new notes or glissendo! - manage high/low shelf ratio (... which YM format does not handle!). - manage low-shelf volume (... which YM format does not handle!). - manage sid-arpeggio (allowing to create a two-note chord on one channel). - the CPC old player runs at 15.6 Khz, which is enough and CPC-plus like. Arkos Tracker handles any frequency. All this allows new sounds I never heard even on ST! And of course, it is the first time ever that you can use SID, in a simple and powerful interface! I might be wrong, but it is also the first time that an *original* song is used with SID on CPC!! What's next in a short future? - A CPC Plus player for 3-channel timer FXs for no CPU time! - Sync buzzer! All this will be present in forthcoming versions of Arkos Tracker. Greetings to the whole CPC scene! Keep being creative!
