this is the day i was eagerly waiting for since the release of “the product”.
KB just released his self-written synthbeast to public.
the package includes a BUZZ machine, a VSTi and a winamp plugin.
unfortunately renoise thinks the VSTi is a VST FX plugin, so you have to manually fix that from within the CachedVSTs.xml.
change that value to “1” for the V2 and the first obstacle has been taken.
now the synth can be loaded as a VSTi but you’ll soon realize, that changing patches won’t work at all.
the bundled README.TXT by KB says the following:
i don’t know why this should be related to V2’s multitimbrality, but at least i know it’s not renoise’s fault now…
and now comes my question:
how do i send midi program change commands?
is it possible with renoise anyways?
i’m curious to see if somebody of your cracks is able to help out
ty.
thanks bantai.
actually i used that command once a while back when i had my old CS1X hooked up… but my memory is as good as the one of an old alzheimer lady… probably worse.
changing patches is quite a mess with that procedure and you also have to switch the GUI appropriately if you want the sliders to affect the sound.
but the synth is absolutely striking qualitywise.
farbrausch’s “Brüllwürfel”, released two years ago, demonstrates the strenght of that little gem fairly well imo.

The best demo ever made was, however, 2nd reality by Future Crew… Great music by skaven and purple motion and the design was and is the best I ever saw.
OnTopic again:
Thanks for the link. That is, what I was searching for since I was a young girl…
Ehh… in a way the demoscene evolved far beyond that… but under another point of view… modern school design is sometime childish, meaningless, cold… and definitely not as mature as the Design in the Amiga scene was.
Anyway, you can find great productions and sometimes even truly smart design in modern demos… not to mention music. Now almost every demo makes use of mp3 soundtracks… excpet excellent examples like Farbrausch where you can hear their amazing sound system in action
Have a decent listening station? Can you pump the volume a bit and still enjoy the sharp sound of a sub? Then give a chance to Paniq… his soundtrack for the fr-036-zeitmaschine is what I defined (on Nectarine)
“The way to turn the classic 4/4 beat into an alien artifact of epic power”
Hmmm… I’m SO sorry that you wasn’t in the Amiga scene to see the real thing and you only got caught by the PC sub-products…
2nd reality is a nice tune but to me and a handfull of other old-time sceners it sounds really nothing more than a Desert Dream remix…
Well, actually I was in the Amiga-Scene, once. But I live in a very small town and there were only a few swappers and sceners around here. The best Amiga-Tunes were “Turrican II” and “Xenon 2 Megablast”… Of course, I know that they were not in Demos or Intros…
I also got a musicdisk, once by a group called interactive, which had very neat techno-trax.
There also were some really cool intros by Razor and Fairlight.
News:
Ok I have found a working link to a video encode of Desert Dream.
It’s an FTP so you guys will have to move that lazy ass of your and run an FTP client, do you remember how to?
Here’s the FTP: ftp. SCENE.ORG WILL BE BACK SOON amidemos/desdrea.zip
Go… and be enlightened.
I have no money at all… but I guess I’d like to buy it… if not else, just to donate it to some future Technology-Museum
thanks for your help

look what I’ve found…
