I also have a C-Lab interface I've never been able to figure out how to use on an American version of the 64 that I bought when I was in Germany. I've gotta admit that this isn't really too practical of a equipment setup for sequencing anything of any importance today as the stuff only supports 4 tracks and all. I just use it to show folks it's possible. Truth is I've moved from the 64 to an Amiga and now to a 486 IBM. When you can get better equipment it makes the job a whole lot easier, believe me. The 64 is fun to play with but you're just not going to be able to produce anything near what you can do on the power machines of today. Nether-the-less, have fun!! ...

I'm not familiar with scream tracker, so, you might want to tell me more about it. I use Samplevision, and edit and loop my samples from within that program. I download my samples through midi to various samplers. Just what kind of samples are you looking for? Keyboards,sound effects or etc. If you get an audio sampling cd, be ready to start looping. Some sounds like pianos are very hard to loop!!! I do this stuff all the time. You can really burn out. James Reyle JReyle@Juno.com ...

That is very kewl! Um, I have a MIDI interface but no software or instructions. I'm really interested in getting busy with it but people like us are really few and far between. EK> I've gotta admit that this isn't really too practical of an equipment EK> setup for sequencing anything of any importance today as the stuff EK> only supports 4 tracks and all. This could be only a software limitation. There is a SID-Symphony cartridge available these days which will give the C64 an extra SID chip to work with to produce a 3-voice per channel stereo output. There also is stereo-SID composition software available via Parsec and some accompanying MIDI modules as well so a 6-voice stereo SID file can be played directly to an external MIDI instrument such as my EPS 16-Plus - and I believe that includes all 6 channels.

Men Without Hats used a C64 to drive some of their stuff on "Rhythm of Youth" and "Folk of the 80's, Part III." That's some pretty awesome stuff if you ask me. This kinda reminds me of some of these new video games I see when I go to Best Buy and Media Play these days. The graphics are impressive and destined to improve even more, but their playability is lacking compared to some of the old 2D games I play on my sweet C=. I have always been interested in mixing the best of the best equipment that I can afford with some of the most crude equipment that I can find. This gives me a sound I can really enjoy listening to. Not too pristine. Not too rty. EK> Nether-the-less, have fun!! Oh, I do and will! Thanks! Um, perhaps you could give me some pointers regarding how I might get started using my MIDI interface with my C=. Currently, I'm just using my machine as a sound generator for samples and speech synthesis. I'm really not very involved with it yet with regards to composition and whatnot.
