He-Man music demo

[dhg2]

Hi,

A while ago I made a BBC Micro cover of the He-Man theme music, and a little graphics demo which draws a picture of He-Man on the screen. It's been sitting on my hard disk, and I thought I might as well post it here.

Very nice! Will Thundercats be next?

[jonb]

Yes!

"Thundercats are on the move,
Thundercats are loose!"
(Da da dada!)



Going to have a lie down now...

Love it, it takes me hours to make a beep sound right!

[grobda]

cool stuff, how do you go about composing music/fx on the beeb?

[kieranhj]

Ditto, this sounds great! Did you compose on the Beeb directly or on a PC tracker? Still wondering if there is interest / mileage in a simple BBC tracker music program that works with SN chip data directly.

I'd like one, but not saying i'd do anything productive with it spent last night mucking about with the airwolf theme but it sounded a bit off when I put it on the beeb, using the pitch values from here.

Thanks everyone, glad you liked it.

I first made the tune using Modplug tracker on my PC for convenience, and then once I had the notes all sounding right, I transcribed it into the BBC computer.

A tracker for the BBC would be really cool, but I'm not sure I'd use it much myself since I tend to find trackers (that I'm not used to, that is) tricky to learn how to use - they usually seem to require learning loads of keyboard shortcuts and I can never remember them, and stuff like that. I can manage Modplug tracker at least since it's pretty intuitive and mouse oriented.

Simple but very effective. A great cartoon graphic.

And only done in BASIC. Glides like a machine.

Nice! Great to see and hear fresh things, and that's a neat little BASIC proggy to drive it too!

What's interesting about this (I have only just looked at the video) is it sounds like an Atari ST. Written in BASIC?

I like your B7 logo jonb !

I wrote a B7 text adventure bitd but its on
a floppy in the loft. Maybe one day I'll see if it
still works..
