An Atari-ST Tunes with Digidrums by Imperial Mage

[ComSoft6128]

French music demo from 199?
Although this sounds like a 6128 Plus only music demo it also runs on the 6128.

Again to hear this correctly I would suggest using headphones or a decent sound system - thru the 6128 speaker it's pleasant enough but lacks presence.

All this music in only 25K of code - Any idea how this was made or what software was used in its creation?

Not emulated - original hardware and software.

Please note that  the aspect ratio for this YouTube video is 16:9 but the CPC monitor
has an aspect ratio of 4:3 so you may wish to adjust your viewing device accordingly.

25k is huge .

I don't have all the details of the story (which grew into a feud back then), but I guess it was one of the transfer done by Longshot and Fefesse. The song was created by and with Madmax tools on Atari ST (which you can find a version somewhere on the net... Very non-friendly software, really not made for anyone but the one who developed it), then Longshot and/or Fefesse created a player in Z80 using, I guess, the same original data.

But it's nowadays very easy to create songs like that for CPC, technically speaking I mean. Composing it is another thing . Love this song.

Now maybe Mage simply "presented" the work of Longshot or Fefesse, or maybe it's his own work. I admit I never heard of him doing player conversions.

One of my Favourite tune, never knew it was ported to CPC.


This is the only Demo i've heard it from so I guess it was ripped from this

For what it's worth : indeed, i never worked on player conversions. You are mainly right : conversion were done by Fefesse and Naminu optimized the player. What I did in these preview was juste a first try on using digidrums and doing something else. My further works on this gave birth to "Time 2 Go", a demo part of Divine.
