The former Activision boss had put himself forward as a possible buyer should the US business of TikTok be sold. In this context, the newspaper recalls that the entrepreneur had unsuccessfully tried to take over Commodore International in 1987 and modify the successful Amiga 500 model - namely by removing the drive and keyboard and turn it into a games console. His plans were thwarted by Commodore boss Irving Gould. (snx) [News message: 22.

This was the reason for him to take a look behind the scenes in a series of articles and write about those who made soundtracking possible: Soundtracker origins, part 1: Where in the World is Karsten Obarski? Here the author wants to find out when the way music is composed made the leap from a physical hardware product to a software product. Who was the first person to come up with the programming of this interface? Is it really Karsten Obarski, the father of The Ultimate Soundtracker? Soundtracker origins, part 2: Welcome to Turrican, aah hahahaha Karsten Obarski apparently got the inspiration for "The Ultimate Soundtracker" from a tool called SoundMonitor, which the developer and musician Chris Hülsbeck released for the Commodore 64 in 1986 - a year before Obarski's own Ultimate Soundtracker. Hülsbeck was 18 years old at the time. Was this the beginning of software trackers? Soundtracker origins, part 3: Facing a stone mountain The history of software sound trackers seems to go back even further: in the second of the series, Chris Hülsbeck told the author that he remembers using Steinberg's MIDI Multitrack Sequencer tool on the Commodore 64 computer, around the time he was writing his own tool, Soundmonitor. Soundtracker Origins, interlude: The coders behind the Cambrian explosion In this somewhat off-topic article, Xavier Borderie spoke to the developers of the various Soundtracker clones, including the developers of Protracker and NoiseTracker.

In the very south of Europe, the demoscene has been celebrating occasionally for many years, since 1995, at the Posadas party in the town of the same name north-east of Seville. The Posadas has its origins in the Amiga demoscene, and this is also reflected in the current competitions: entries in the demo, intro and cracktro competitions are only permitted for Amiga OCS or Amiga AGA. The best-known release on the Posadas to date is most likely the 1995 demo Batman Vuelve by the Batman Group. In addition to the competitions, there will also be two concerts this year by electro music artists KHROME and Narcisound. According to the organisers, pre-sales for the party will begin in a few days. (nba) [News message: 21.
