While I was restoring my old KUN-compiler/XBasic/Turbo Basic disk with 2 flipsides (meaning: you coud store 2x112 files on a double-sided disk) I found my long forgotten first attempt to create some kind music.
It is more like rhythmic sounds than a actual song. It was called DISCOMIX.TRB, cause I changed it for use with the KUN-compiler.
While I was playing it, it reminds me of my very first MSX demo I created in, I think, 1988.
It was called - Dance On Banana Peels -, but had only a title screen and the DISCOMIX sounds.
I re-created the title screen with another program LETTERS.BAS I found earlier.
It was an improved version of the routine I stole from a basic-listing game called KLONDIKE.
The game itself is lost somewhere on my unreadable single-sided disks.
And DISCOMIX has an other story, on of my first -from scratch- homemade MSX programs was some kind of soundgenerator, called AUB, which was short for the Dutch expression "EVEN GEDULD A.U.B."
It generated soundeffects with 3 channels and if you press a key, it could display the right SOUND parameters from that sound.
Pity it worked not the way it used to be, so you only got the parameters from the sound it should be playing, instead of the sound that was already being played.
But I manage to generate 3 different soundeffects, that had some rhythm in it.
I arrange it as described below:
intro, melody, refrein, melody, refrein, melody, bridge, melody, outtro
To make the changes between the different parts smoother I added some pitch up/down effects.
So now I have re-created my first MSX demo ever. Because of the long waiting time to generate the title screen (the original demo had a BLOAD,S screen) I added some color-change in the edges of the screen and show a disclamer when starting the demo.
I also made the DISCOMIX a little shorter, less boring.
Hereby the links to get this demo - Dance on Banana Peels -, in LZH or DISK format:
DANCE-ON.LZH: Mediafire and DepositFiles
DANCE-ON.DSK: Mediafire and DepsitFiles
I forgot to say something about the title...I don't know why it is called that way.
Maybe it was a parody of the title of a popular song these days (1988).
I found this demo too simple to be uploaded to MSX.ORG, but this demo shows if you learn from other's work, you can create your own.
