Elso(Ger) - Dissonant Aerobicon Remix (Thunderstruck Records)

I've just finished a small test of Amiga1200 working with MIDI. 
Hardware: Yamaha QY70 + Amiga 1200 (MIDI).
Software: OctaMED 4.00.

Amiga 1200 - a computer launched in 1992. 14Mhz of Motorola CPU on-board. Mine has 10Mb of RAM. The song surely would work on standard 2Mb, without problems. 

Yamaha QY70 has been released in 1997. It's a very small synthesizer with sequencer (but can also work in MIDI mode), similar in its look to Atari Lynx handheld game-console. 
Sound generation method: AWM2.

OctaMED 4.00 - the series generally has been closed in 1992 (later the program became freeware). 
You can use 16 channels here, in the MIDI mode, however it still works as a tracker, so - for example - You cannot put a chord into one channel: You have to use 3 separate channels to make the chord.

The 8-Bit Guy has just released his brand new RTS game for the Commodore 64. This is one of the idea sketches for a future port to MS-DOS where the intention is to have Roland MT-32 and Adlib music.  This can be a possibility if the C64 version is a success, so head over to the webshops to check it out:

Just for fun... the intro jingle for Planet X3 could be used as a start up chime for the Commander X16 computer The 8-Bit Guy is making. :)

What would have happened if I would have had access to a 100+k music computer system or the studio of Trevor Horn and Art Of Noise in the mid 80s? Maybe a track like this... :) Composed in 2020 with just the Arturia CMI V for my royalty-free Patreon project - consider joining to download the full track and 35 other music pieces: https://www.patreon.com/chris_huelsbeck

Flight Of The Fairlight (Excerpt)

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
