That awe 32 mod player your referring to is probably AWEMOD, which was 
written by Judge Dredd of Infiniti 2001.  Its the first mod player for
the awe32 ever released, and I'm pretty sure its the only one out there right
now.  Its still in its beta stages, so be patient with it.  Do you have 
version 1 or 2?  Version 2 fixed a ton of bugs, and it has a better 
interface.  JD is working on version 3 right now, and that SHOULD support
other formats (ie, s3m/mtm/etc) and more effects.  The first version was 
coded in only 2 weeks, so there wasn't much to it really, just a few effects
and support for protracker modules.  

Be patient, its getting better all the time..

I think KLF should be more Ryan Cramerish music (mellow, soft tunes), 
things like Basehead did for Epidemic (one of the best tunes I have _ever_ 
heard!)

KLF members, are you listening?  :)

i gave up on that a long time cuz it's more pain in the butt then it's

Yes, we are listening, but the whole idea behind the KLF (am I speaking for
Maelcum?) was to offer an _alternative_ to the demo music that dominates the
music scene.  KLF/Kosmic has and will release some mellow music, but keep in
mind we were originally a techno/rave/house group.

yes, and i'm going to reply concretely. this group does not exist to 
propagate the myth that music made on a computer has to sound like 
computer music. ryan cramer has done some great songs, and epidemic may 
be fine and dandy, but there are way too many people out there doing 
demomuzak and the like. instead of judging 'computer music' against other 
computer music, judge *all music* as *music*. our group has become the 
world's largest, and probably most popular, 'PC Music' group around 
because when you hear something we put out, chances are it fits right in 
with your collection of Aphex Twin, Skinny Puppy, Harthouse, The Orb, 
records. I get lots of mail from people who do everything from making 
tapes of our S3Ms etc and blasting them in the car to mixing them in with 
their live DJ sets. on the other hand, i would put the chances of most of 
the music in epidemic being played on the radio or spun at a club at 
quite near nil. when i think of mellow music, i don't think of CC Catch 
or Purple Motion, i think of Dr. Atmo and Higher Intelligence Agency. 
there is a reason for this, and though i have a hard time putting it in 
words, that reason is why Kosmic will NEVER become just some computer 
music group. if people cannot open their minds to things new and 
different, they might as well just stick with being spoonfed 
Warner-Elektra-Atlantic pop.

The samplerate of playback on a GUS gets worse and worse as more channels 
are opened up beyond 14. At 14 channels or less, the samplerate is 
44.1khz. By the time it gets to 32, it's something like 18khz. That's a 
primary reason why I, an admitted former mega-channel user, forced myself 
to get used to a 14-channels or less rule. Anyway, there usually isn't 
much reason to go more than 16 at the most (boy, if you had told me a 
year ago that i'd ever say that, i would have laughed at you). 

Unfortunately Inspekdah Deck is no longer with the group.

what happened to him ... did he move on to other things?  hope it wasn't 
a falling out of any kind.  does he still compose muzak?? or join another 
group?  really would like to keep up with his stuff, which i found was 
top notch!

btw, another quick question that i never got around to asking ... what 
happened to transcentral? ... it went down around the summer during the

yeah, ok and all about the reason why ... but he did pull it off with 26 
channels and it sounded AWESOME!!! plus it helped using inertia player

with less channels as long as the quality of releases stay excellent, and

no dispute here with Kosmic being largest/most popular.  and i for one DO
judge "computer music" in the light of MUSIC and not "computer music".

i get the sense that you, DAN, have some bad blood on this topic for some 
reason.  what does having someone mentioning that he'd like to here some 
more mellow music from Kosmic have to do with Kosmic becoming another 
"computer" music group?  and i'm sorta confused on what you mean by 
demomuzak ... sure there's a general sense of how it sounds to me, but 
music is never cut and dry on were boundaries begin and end.  so are you 
saying that "computer" music in general is in reference to demomuzak?

take for instance baseheads "forever" in epidemic.  you seem to reference 
most of epidemics stuff as being computer/demo music.  so is forever?  
also i LOVE the track shelter from the holistic demo.  it's from a demo 
and i would LOVE it if i heard this track on the radio, and i do sincerly 
believe it is appropriate ... just like stuff from Kosmic.  and you 
mention that you think that most (if not all) of epidemic stuff being 
played on the radio as being nil ... well that would be true ... but 
isn't THAT closed mindedness???

i don't know ... just seems like you're chewing this guy out and blowing 
this thing into a topic the guy didn't really bring up.  it's your right 
if you find his suggestion offensive to you but heck, it was JUST a 
suggestion and you are talking about open mindedness.

anyway ... hope ya don't don't hate me now for debating with you on this 
cuz i do love your stuff (well some of it ... can't honestly say i like 
every single release by you cuz that would be down right impossible since 
we are two different people with two different tastes ... if it's any 
consolation, a very large percentage of online modules are yours, but 
then again you JUST churn them out ... how the f*ck do you release so 
much shit!!! at the rate you do???)

btw ... there's nothing wrong with pop, just like there's nothing wrong 
with classical, alternative, funk, disco, r&b, OR even heavy metal 
(although i hate it myself).  everyone has their own prerogative in 
liking what they like and who they like (but i hate the SHITS!!! out of 
Ace of BASE!!! ... ya call that music and singing???) :)

Subject: [KLF-TALK:738] Demomuzak and computer music in general


Dan...  has someone told you something to the extent of "it's good for 
computer music, but it doesn't sound like real music?" or something to 
that extent?

All music is real music.  Computer-tracker music is a genre just like
guitar music is.  You can't really directly compare guitar music to violin
music, as each is different, and there's not a whole lot you can draw
between them.  It would be a stretch to compare the Aphex twin, let's say,
to Bach.

Dealing with strictly electronic music, IE music produced by electronic 
devices other than acoustically amplified, your sound depends on your 
equipment.  The sound is influenced by the equipment as well.  When 
Walter (now Wendy) Carlos made "Switched on Bach" He/She couldn't make a 
whole orchestra come from a moog.  He/She was limited by the equipment.  
(Monophonic moog, analog synthesis, crappy multitrack recorder, etc...)  
With you and your ultrasound, you're limited as well.  To me, it's stupid 
to try and compare you with your ultrasound to Aphex twin and his homeade 
synths without adding some weight to either side.  You're acting like a 
guitar player who's trying to sound like a violin.  YOU DON'T HAVE A 
VIOLIN, DAN!  Get over it already.  Sure, they're both stringed 
instruments, but they're played differently and have different sounds.  
Now if you wanna do some nice & nifty stuff like T23 and whatnot, that's 
cool.  That I CAN be able to compare to what's out there in the world of 
what you call "real music," because not only do you have more control 
over your music, but it's in a "real music" format.

If I wanna compare, say, Richard D. James to you, without having to weight
either side, I would ask him to sit down in front of a PC with fasttracker
II or MMedit or whatever and write some stuff.  Or I would throw you into 
his studio, and let you go wild.

If you make the arguement that "format doesn't matter" then I should be 
able to judge Bach against Anthrax.  Or even better would be Bach against 
Stockhausen.  Or someone like Miles Davis against Alex Paterson.  (For 
the rest of you folks out there, if you don't know who these people are, 
lemme know.)  I can't really, without saying to myself "first of all, 
Bach composed for harpsichords and violins and stuff.  Stockhausen was an 
experimenter and creator with tape and recorded music.  Classical <> 
Musique Concrete."

Even with all this out of the way, I'll admit, there are still ways to
compare.  ("Bach is more harmonically driven than Stockhausen."  etc...)
My point was to make you aware of the natural tendencies we all have as
humans to add things into our judgements.  So don't get so pissed when 
people tell you your stuff is good for "computer music."  I personally 
think it has improved over the last year or so, and I wish I had some 
more of the releases to listen to.

My bitches are:

1) the music STILL sounds very dead and "in your face."  Lack of
post-equilization and signal processing has a LOT to do with that.  I 
could add a nice quadraverb or something between my soundcard and stereo, 
and it would probably help quite a bit.  But to do it right requires EQ 
and signal processing on the individual channels, something you can't 
really do with ultrasound.

2) You can't do real acid with a sampler, period, be it Emax III or
Ultrasound. The 303 has a lot of quirks including slight timing
discrepancies.  Same with the 909.  You can try, sure, and yeah, some of
it sounds pretty damn good.  (I still like 303p or whatever it is that you
wrote.) But there's no way you can get it down all the way.  So the 
blurpy-pumpy-acidy-squelchy stuff isn't like the real thing.

3) The dynamic range lacks as well.  But of course, when you're working
with 8-bit samples, it's not surprising.

4) Filter sweeps don't sound to good.  But hey -- the GUS is a sampler 
with non-on-the-fly-manipulatable envelope and EQ programming.

that's about it, really...  now get back to the regularly schedule KFMF 
discussion.

but I failed in a couple of attempts at unpacking some .EXE's.

sure some earlier demos had this undescribable quality to it that people
would term it demomuzak/"computer music", sorta on the line that back then
most of the music would use fm synth as such.  but i find it to be also on
the line of theatrical/orchestral style ... sorta like stuff for movies
(especially sci-fi).  guess that's what Dan got pissed off about ... the 
stereo typing of "computer" music as such having to continually sounding 
that way.

that's just plain ignorance ... pure and simple.  and it might be funny 
at first but when you really think about it, it's not.

yeah i know it sounds lame and i went overboard in trying to describe a 
feeling ... that's the crappy thing about expressing our feelings in 
words, too limiting.  guess our social perspective of marketing has 
gotten the best of me! :)  damn i gotta stay away from those cruddy 
infomercials!!!

I was told id isn't planning on having background music in Doom3/Quake.
Apparently, they are going for the enhanced realism there would be
without it...
