music prog for vanilla A500

Vaninna · 11 March 2015, 21:36

Can anyone recommend music programs that run on a non expanded A500? That is available as adf or some other format that I can get over to the miggy through adfsender or Amiga explorer? Also if something else than workbench 1.3 is needed.

I have tried some programs but they return code 20, I suspect that is due to low memory. Maybe they are for another type of Amiga, I can not tell.

I am looking for a tracker, and especially a chiptracker. Any other experimental music software is very welcome too. B)

Soundtracker or Protracker?

Vaninna · 12 March 2015, 12:15

This looks promising!

As a test prior posting I tried to run Game Music Creator (1989 Bitmagic) because it is old and supposed to be simple (lightweight too I assumed). But code 20 came out. Same with OctaMED. So I am a bit surprised that all these will work, but that is awesome! I have yet to try to put them on floppy and test them.

I'm sure I used to use Protracker (might have been Soundtracker actually) on my unexpanded A500 back in the day. I could be wrong though because I did add half a meg to it in the end...

If I remeber right, Protracker up to 3.15 works fine on an A500. Even OctaMed. Most music/sampling software should work.

you´ll only need kickstart2.0+ if you plan to use OctaMED v5 or higher.

I have found some ADF images you can start with. It claims to work on a plain A500. Can boot from these.

You´ll need some sample disks in ADF format, download here:

Good Luck, we hope listen some of your noises!

Thanks!
