TnC Collected works : TnC ZoundZ and DemoZ Disk Part 6

And there was Part 6, The "Lily Was Here Edition". First I will explain the title of this edition.

"Lily Was Here" was a single from the soundtrack of Dutch movie "De Kassiƫre", and was composed and performed by Dave A. Stewart (ex-Eurythmics) and Candy Dulfer (a Dutch saxophonist). The film was very bad and the soundtrack easy to forget, however this song became very famous and if you search on YouTube "Lily Was Here Remix" you can spend a whole day to listen to all of them.

So I will keep this YouTube "Lily Was Here" linkslist a bit short.
Here we go:
* Music Video featuring Dave A Stewart and Candy Dulfer
* Music Video featuring scenes of the movie "De Kassiƫre"
* "Lily Was Here, Live in Amsterdam" great live version.
* Remix of Teddy-J with another bass, more uptempo and an weird animation video.
* Remix of GPP with that nice Ibiza feeling in it.
* Remix of K-Lukasz with more tempo, more techno dance.
* Remix of Emanuel Kosh & Timofey, with a more lounge attitude.


On this disk you can find a MSX-1 sample demo (Wordstore+) and a MSX-2 sample demo (FM-FAC sampler). Both had not much of a graphic interface, so I created a simple menu (see picture). While I was search for a Music Module basic-tool, I found an old FM-Pac Music demo by Crackbird & Maddog, better know as TwinSoft. They used some stolen music from XAK and a lot of selfmade covers of famous songs, including...Lily Was Here (see picture). I listened and it was so bad, it sounds like a PSG conversion that was never finished. So I didn't include the demo on this "Lily Was Here Edition".

There is also a Guitar FM Sounds demo
(see picture).
I had a nice picture of a guitar and a nice random FM sound-effects generator, called FMSOUNDS. I combined them with some animation and this was the result.

You will find on this disk more tools, just like the Part 5 disk.

Different ones ofcourse.

 Also there is a lot to read on this disk, specially I included
3 versions of SYNTH TOOL (for converting Synth Saurus V2.00 Basic files) with a textfile in Dutch and English.
I used Bing Translate instead of Google and the result was better than expected. The Bing translator tries to create real phrases and that speeds up the final translating a lot.
And some leftover converted PSG musics for the FM-Pac (see picture)

I'm almost reached the end of my collection ZoundZ and DemoZ, so it now harder to fill up the entire disk. I'm guessing I can create 2 more disks, but a major challenge lies ahead for me and I'm not sure I can handle it properly.
That's all for now.

TnC Collected works : TnC Soundz and DemoZ Disk Part 5


Here is already Part 5 of my infamous series of ZoundZ and DemoZ disks. 
This one is called "The PSG-Sampler Edition". 

Yeah, most of this disk is filled with samples made with PSG-SAMPLER, a very good MSX-2 sampler program. It runs only with Memman a memory manager developed by MSX Software Team.
I used PSG-SAMPLER mostly to convert long samples and sequences from the "New Era" demo by UMF, cause I wanted to hear the best-sampled songs on any MSX audio device, instead of only Music Module or Turbo-R.

PSG-SAMPLER was able to play a sample via PSG, MSX-MUSIC (FM-PAC), MSX-AUDIO (MUSIC MODULE), PCM (Turbo-R) and SIMPL (an easy to build MSX sample device).
However the MSX-Basic replayer was never really finished and I lost interest in sampling music on my MSX, 
I was more interested in FAC Soundtracker and Moonblaster.
 
On this disk, you find 2 long converted samples of the "New Era", "Feel It" and "Groove". You can find these together with "Orgasmico" on "Move The House 7" from EVA.





Noticed the link was not taking you to discogs.com?

Since you have to log in on discogs.com I will never link to them again. Why should you log in on Discogs? Does Wikipedia have a login? I think Discogs made a big mistake here.
They are not another Social Media like Facebook, Pinterest, etc, they are only an encyclopedia of music, nothing more...
 I also recorded a funny sample of Blunt Axe "De Kuil" in Dutch language. The sample came from the CD-single "De Kuil", but was never a big hit in the Netherlands. The first single of Blunt Axe had more success and made it even to be uploaded to YouTube



I liked the instrumental version of "De Kuil" more and recorded it on a compilation tape called: My Favorite Remixes II Side A (start at 15:37), cause I think Blunt Axe used too many samples in the radio version.

But there is more shit to find on this Part 5 disk, than just samples. I created especially for this ZoundZ and DemoZ series a simple PSG sound-effect creator called SOUNDER, a remake of PSG random sequence maker BIGHIT 2.2 and a couple of tools to play with if you have a FM-PAC or MSX-MUSIC.

And I created a sort of simple animation demo with a nice drawing of a steamboat, of course, the drawing and music were made by my partner
in EMP-Soft, Elko Duijm.
I have not much to say here, except download it and have fun exploring.
