TnC Collected works : TnC SoundZ & DemoZ Disk Part 4

Finally, I finished Part 4 of this series. I wanted (as always) do more than just put the files in a menu with a short description and release it. 

No, instead I checked every program on this disk, tried to make it a little better and when I was nearly finished, there was not enough disk space. So I had to remove some to save it for the next Part (5). 
And just at the last check, I found out I forgot the main drum kit of one of these Moonblaster demo's you will find on this disk. 

Well, Part 4 is ready now, it's called "The MoonBlaster edition", cause it contains 3 small Moonblaster demo's, MOVE THA HOUZ, TC-TECKK, and ZOOITJE. Together with the Music Module sample demo  REVOLUTION, there was not much space left. I filled the rest of the disk again with small MSX-MUSIC files.

Some notes about the REVOLUTION demo. It was the last sample demo I made, this time together with Elko Duijm, he made the graphics, I did the samples and main programming.
Of course, the title was not original, but if you use samples of J.M. Jarre's Revolution, how would you name your demo then? Sample Demo #24?

MOVE THA HOUZ was a simple remake of the Flying Bytes music disk Move Tha HouzDisk version, with MoonBlaster versions of their "best" tracks.
Their tracks were made with FAC Soundtracker Pro only for MSX-AUDIO and I hated it that Flying Bytes didn't bother about MSX-MUSIC users.
So I made this remake with some surprises, for example: play song 1 in the Music Replayer.

For the TC-TECKK demo I made a long info text in English, don't ask me why. I made a simple text viewer so you enjoy my sense of humor...There is also some useful info in it, 
I don't think I need to say more here. A SCREEN 5 demo.

There is a lot to tell about the ZOOITJE Moonblaster demo. 

First: ZOOITJE is a Dutch word for MESS, Impact made some house tracks with that name and I liked to hear them in MSX-STEREO. 
I converted the FST Pro (again !!) files in MoonBlaster 1.3 and created so-called stereo-edits. But MB 1.3 had a nasty bug, so after creating and saving the stereo-edits I never could edit it again. There was more trouble. 

When I tested the demo I noticed ZOOITJE 3 file was corrupted and I had not any backup. So I needed to create a fresh new stereo-edit (with MB 1.4 without the bug) and because Impact made also ZOOITJE 5, I created another stereo-edit for this little demo. 

At this time it was still a text-only demo, very boring for a ZOOITJE/MESSY demo. I decided to remake the demo in SCREEN 1 and created with the help of CHRPAINT (also made by me) some weird character color changes. It made the ZOOITJE demo MESSY enough, believe me...

Finally, I put some FM-Pac/MSX-Music files all made by EMP-Soft on this disk. 

Menu 2 contains converted PSG-music by me and Menu 3 contains original works by Elko Duijm.

I hope you like them, as much as I like those.
There are some game music , some classic tunes, and some famous pop-songs.

Oh my, I forgot, I included my own version of the MoonBlaster Basic Replayer on this disk.
I used it a lot for listening to my own collected Moonblaster music on the disk.

Last note: as you will see there is no ZOOTJE 1 music made by Impact, that's because ZOOITJE was already made by Flying Bytes, check out the MOVE THA HOUZ demo.

TnC Collected works : TnC SoundZ & DemoZ Disk Part 3

I just could not set myself to program my delayed Wordstore Mix demo's or Wordstore Mega demo or improve MBR8S and release a final version or modify some Basic games for my 112 MSX Basic Games series. 

So instead I collected demos and music for Part 3 and higher. However, I had to program some parts to make this disk more user-friendly and more translated into English. For example, MODULE2 was hard to translate and still have a working layout and SULTANS OF SWING MENU I had to program it from scratch. I am happy with the result, but it was not easy to get good digis. So converting pics to SCREEN 8 was the most difficult part.

Now, something about the stuff you find on the disk.

This disk is called the "Sultans Of Swing Edition", cause mainly it contains different versions of the song "Sultans Of Swing" of Dire Straits of course.


You can find an MSX-1 FM-version, a Music Module sample version and a Synth Saurus 2 version. Is there more?

Yes, I included the NO-PROMO demo, the only demo I every made with Magic Music Module music program. I still don't know why I bought it, cause it was just a bad FAC Soundtracker clone. 
 For the big words seen in the demo I used the trick from Philips MSX-2 Basic demo and it was also my first demo in SCREEN 5.  
About the music: it was my 1 and only attempt to compose a house track, I made many versions of the song, but this was the best I could. 
I failed completely to create a good house beat.Some parts are not that bad at all...

The last part is some tools I made for FM-FAC Soundsampler  for the Philips Music Module.
It's not freeware and I couldn't find a cracked one, so I could not include it in any way.
But you can still use this programs without it and listen to some samples of J.M. Jarre.

To fill up the disk I added some FM-Pac/MSX-Musics from Elko Duijm of EMP-Soft and created a simple menu to play those.
Also on this disc some tools and a player to create BGM files from Synth Saurus 2.0 files and of course some EMP-Soft BGM files to listen too (Elvis Presley !!).
