Atari ST to Amiga: Starquake Amiga Conversion - Page 11

Galahad/FLT · 03 July 2016, 22:12

Anyone with a Gotek or similar want to do a loader test for me please?

StarQuake · 19 July 2016, 13:59

Is there any interest for a version that is inspired by the Atari music but is more like a full amiga tune instead of a chiptune?

If so I might give it a try.

There is interest for a version with ANY music

we are all patiently waiting...

StarQuake · 19 July 2016, 14:45

Okay, I'll give it a try.

StarQuake · 16 August 2016, 10:53

Had some fun trying to convert the Atari ST tune to a MOD. I want to keep it as close to the original as possible with the exception of using full samples instead of chiptune samples.

Never created any music on an Amiga. I did however play around a lot with FastTracker Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker back in the day.

What are the size constraints on this music? And do I need to use a certain version of ProTracker? Is for example 2.3d or 3.62 acceptable? Or are those formats interchangable.

@starquake

2.3 and 3.62 use same mod format; i would try to use microsamples (read very short 10 bytes up to 1k samples usually with loop) to keep size small and have a 64-like sound; using only two or three channels keep size smaller too

StarQuake · 17 August 2016, 20:08

So I read the full thread. Should have done that before. Hoffman is making the intro music? Quite hard to match that :-O

Still having some fun with ProTracker so will see how far I'll get. Some practice doesn't hurt. Not going for microsamples though. Don't like it.

EDIT: Just heard the music by ADRdesign. I don't think I can match that either... So I guess this exercise will be for my entertainment only :P

Yeah, stakes are pretty high here; tried to submit some time ago a track using micro and 2 voices to keep a c64 feeling and was rejected

Ended up being an original composition in the end as I wasn't that keen on the original st music. Looking forward to it finally being released.

On a side note, wasp has made some really good video tutorials for protracker and all the commands. It's in YouTube somewhere but a quick search should get you there.

Found it! Thanks for the tip!

Right, final stretch here, just need some help with samples.

I need some incidental samples, good quality, already in Amiga IFF or raw format so theres little converting I need to do.

I need footsteps, mini bloops and blips, if you want inspiration, here is the ST version: [ Show youtube player ]

Dont necessarily have to be the same, I already have a couple, and they need to be small as well.

Really need to do this quickly please folks, I want to release this Christmas Eve the same as Putty Squad was.

Bastich · 11 December 2016, 13:28

Hope you get the samples you need. I've been looking forward to this one since you first announced it. Great work

Galahad/FLT · 11 December 2016, 16:24

Bump....chance for someone to get their name in the game.

Only condition is no well known samples that immediately conjour up memories of other games
