Fabrizio Radica has written a MOD of the well know instrumental piece of the Alan Parsons Project : Mammagamma (original on the official youtube channel). This track was out on the eye of the sky, released in June 1982 by Arista Records.
You can listen to these three versions of this MOD :
Credits : original music by The Alan Parsons Project, conversion by Fabrizio Radica, graphics by Devilmarkus, player by Prodatron, videos Amstrad CPC done with the JavaCPC emulator.
CHIPNSFX (tracker/player) and UZ80 (Z80 assembler) by CNGSOFT
Many graphics improvement, including even more space for the pattern viewer.
Midi in: plug your keyboard and have fun!
Midi import: import your Midi songs.
New AKM (minimalist) player: more compact and powerful than the Lightweight!
Source converter: convert the music and player source to any assembler (winape, sdcc, pasmo, vasm, etc.) automatically, thanks to Disark, a new tool (for which I'll create a new thread...)!
ROM players: by setting a flag, the players will not use auto-modification anymore, but a small buffer to put in RAM, whereas the player itself can be put in ROM.
Support for specific hardware:
PlayCity (9 channels)
Spectrum Turbosound (6 channels)
SpectrumNext (9 channels)
MSX Darky (6 channels)
MSX FPGA (6 channels)
... and many other improvements
