Making music with !Coconizer // Acorn Archimedes Soundtracker

This is how I used to make music a long time ago! Sorry, I forgot most hotkeys and stuff ;) Back then I could make a mod in half the time. :P Also, this Acorn Archimedes Emulator is rather crappy with random sound drop outs and rather annoying keyboard lagggggg. Anyway, this is just to give you an impression of what was likely one of the best sounding eight track trackers back in 1990! It lacks MIDI and a build in sample editor though. duh! However !Coconizer mixes the eight tracks far superior than any Amiga or early Fasttracker routine. In retrospect it's astonishing that so few coders realized the potential that comes with MIDI support. Just think about the famous Protracker on Amiga, where it was dropped completely in later revisions. This lack of understanding for proper musical input devices reflects itself in the fact that even many "modern trackers" feature either zero or just very rudimentary MIDI functions. Once I discovered Cakewalk on Windows 3.1 I never looked back to trackers ;) It has to be said though, that tracking heavily influcences the way you compose music, and these limitations can sometimes yield suprising results. Also many modules back then sounded very much alike because everyone used the same samples and few had their own sound digitizers to sample new sounds. My "Dreamtracker" back then would have featured the simple good to read track view layout of Protracker (Amiga), the wave shaping functions of Future Composer (Amiga), the resonant filter emulation of AHX (Amiga), instruments with ADSR envelopes like in Fasttracker II (MSDOS), the Scanner view of the Mark II Sound-System (Amiga), auto loop functions for samples like in old Roland samplers and midi clock synch with support for midi CC and sysex. Somehow it never happend ;) Ah, add support for HardSID and Catweasel controller cards to that wish list ^^
