I love this intersection of retro computing, hardware hacking, musicianship, and just raw experimentalism.
Me too :)
Thanks for exploring this feature. It's an interesting quirk that it seems buggy, but great you still demonstrated it working with a few bodges.I enjoy seeing people explore the nuances of the back in the day real hardware. The guy who said he was exploring 14 bit sound has a thread on EAB about it where he and others discuss his experiences, it's great to see the community join in too on these things and help the exploration.
Oooh, Amigas and Soundtrackers every which way you look! After all that work, I bet it was amazing to finally hear that 8 channeley-ness! Awesome stuff.
It was, the fact that I actually (somewhat) got it working after all that headache lol.
Amiga still a great experience in making musik and djing❤
We are amiga family 👍🙂. Pretty setup 🎉
My brother and I created a pulse track so could manually sync it. You knew by the sound when it was perfect.
even though I'm not a soundtracker pro II user, I really wish this would work for you! the 8 channel dream is something I've been wondering about a lot lately in regards to the amiga trackers that aren't OctaMED.
I asked a few coders to try and help me sync up 2 protrackers but I'm told the code is so messy that it's hard to do, but I'm still clutching on to a hope handful of faith in case some one wakes up in the middle of the night and goes AHA! - this is how to do it!.
The clock sync would be 101% satisfaction from the user that you're in safe hands syncing them up, however... to be honest "manual-sync" is actually pretty rock solid on 2 amiga's (as long as they're the same amiga!) and will only drift out of time after about 7 or 8 minutes which is fine for a full track. A clicktrack at the start also helps once you have the 2 flanged up.
The only problem then is user control, you want the workflow to be good between the 2 amiga's even with 2 Mice, so you want to only have play/stop/cont and the pattern-sequencer-position going to just 1 finger press.
So with that said, with custom USB keypads this can be done actually but you need to faff about with green-Amikeys/SUM (I found out the black-amikey's don't work for it) and yeah, a keypad with 2 X RP2040's (wires bridged across from one rp24040 to the other) with some QMK code on it (I can confirm that works with amikeys/SUM) I had to have some one help me with the QMK code though it's horrible!
wish my amiga keycaps were as bright and white as yours :( awesome setup and video as always
i think you are the biggest (female) nerd concerning this topic and i celebrate you for that 😀
Her and Jeri though she's more C64....
I was working on a different little project, as I got the TherapSID in. I was menu diving on the Pro 3 (first time) to get the CV voltages set to work with the TherapSID. Sadly, though, both the SIDs I have in the TherapSID have hosed filters. So will be seeing about getting a couple ArmSIDs for it. It's been ages since I messed with Soundtracker on the Amiga. Like 1991 being the last time. I had a friend that did demos, and he would get samples from my synth rack powered by an Atari 520ST. So his Music had DX7, D-50, Ensoniq EPS, and TR-808 sounds.
Cool. Im looking into 14-bit audio via Paula (easier when using RTG). Half the fun is getting it to work!
16:25 this sounds sooo good!
Really! Wow!
Awesome, love your setup
Awesome, as always. Great to see some electronics again 😊. Loving Paradox more and more btw, it’s a real work of art. Nice to hear it showcased a bit in this vid.
Thank you! ☺ The Paradox tracks worked better in the video than I Initially thought they would 🙂
Just as a personal preference I use Octamed V4 for MIDI. Octamed V5 and V6 used movable windows for everything and it just got too frustrating and confusing. I would go to click something and I would end up moving the window or sometimes even closing it.
We had a cat that would drink sherry off my finger. She was a lovely tabby. We had her for 17 years.
What a playground, what pretty toys! ❤
Wow not seen a Datel midi interface in yours!! I think I have one too in storage somewhere :)
You are doing what i've been trying to setup for a while now. Im afraid Octamed is (for better or worse) the way to go but i have so much of a hard time letting go of my protracter...
I'm glad someone out there understands my pain in this. Despite using Octamed for bigger projects, I'll always use Soundtracker Pro 2.. and I love protracker too as it has a similar feel to it.
Super !!!!
Hiya Maddi ☺️ Just catching up after a busy weekend and it’s great to be able to sit down with a coffee and watch the latest upload.
Absolutely amazing what you can do with these Amiga’s and l am all for experimenting!
I find it sad though that people can be so down on “you must use this software or that software” Why does that even matter?!
You use what you like, when you like and that should be the end of it. I just don’t get why anyone would be so strung up on this 🙄
Anyways, super interesting content as always and Mr Neelix must have worked in a cafe or bar in a previous life lol 😂
Hope your all well and all my best to Rich and everyone there. Have a good one Maddi ☺️👍🏼
Not into Amigas (I'm more a c64 guy) but I love your passion for it. Could it have something to do with edge triggering? pos edge / neg edge or pos & neg edge triggering?
Great work Maddi, looks like you’ve made some really good progress on this and I hope you manage to iron out the last few challenges. Looking forward to the moment when you hook up the Polyend to the Amiga via midi! :)
Thanks James, i'm looking forward to sharing what i've been up to lately with regards to Amiga and Polyend tracker, as well as the other Synths 🙂
@@MsMadLemon I spotted a Roland JU-06A to the side of your video too; I didn't know you had one. I got one of those a few months ago, it's excellent!
Your videos are always such a vibe, thanks for making this, also rip pvm, hope you can fix it :3
Thank you!

I did the protracker serial link version (1.2F) a while back with a NULL cable, there's no master clock it appears, it's literally just plays/stops the other protracker, so yeah like this, you have to setup the same BPM. Also it was buggy af so pretty unusable.
The only proper sync tracker for Amiga that actually works is OctaMED.
I got a feeling the soundtracker pro 2 dude put it in as a thing-to-do but didn't actually complete it. the Sync clock that is.
Maybe. I'll try it my self this afternoon.
the cat is so cute
The only thing better than one Amiga are two Amigas
As of matter of fact, I have CU Amiga cover disk # 132 on my desk which contains Soundtracker Pro II.
Is it Soundtracker Pro II or Protracker that can mix channels and render as a sample? I forgot.
Same, i've treasured that CU Amiga issue and coverisk lol... It's Soundtracker Pro 2, it's when you click "Mixtracks" in the sampler screen.
@@MsMadLemon I knew it is one of those 2. It's been 20 something years and I forgot how to do it. Thanks.
Is ground potential an issue? Are the Amigas connected to the same PSU? Having fried a CIA when messing with parnet I'd at least rule it out.
They're connected to different PSUs but the PSUs share the same mains cable, though i dont think thats any different to connecting two different PSUs to the same mains power strip. I've actually wondered about the PSU and tried two different PSUs. Unfortunately It's the same result.
Your big custom PSU could maybe power both? At least measure.
Oh you mean on the output side, to power both the Amigas from the same PSU unit? Hmmm, I didn't think about trying this, yes I think I need to measure, thanks for the suggestion!
ahh, soundtracker pro II,.... almost, ALMOST as good as protracker 2.3 :P
Soundtracker Pro II is better so nerr 😛
RIP to your CRT. Are you able to repair it?
Thank you, I hope so, it's just where to find a flyback transformer.
@@MsMadLemon if you do end up attempting a repair, id be interested to watch you attempt it. I've already had one commodore 1084S die on me. Damn flyback
What is the name of the mod at @16:00 ?

@@MsMadLemon Thank you sooo much!!
I was hoping you were going to connect the Polyend Tracker to the Amiga. Too bad. I found out about trackers / mod files from Ahoy's excellent video, then when Polyend released the tracker picked it up. M8 also, and just ordered the Tracker Mini. Neat video, but honestly the Polyend has nothing to do with it.
I did connect them together in my latest video on trackers.
ruclips.net/video/tgiCnJUKhoM/видео.htmlsi=GYNVQb49lGc_oDeZ
Polyend is a modern take on the tracker so I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with it... Its still a tracker.
What's happened to you MAD LEMON???(
wunderbarowonderful!
I'd love to know why you like this particular program so much and maybe you could do a comparison of this with others like octamed with pros/cons.
Sure I'll be happy to do that when I do my updated tracker video.. As I said in the video it's mostly sentimental but there are pros.. I already have a video planned for this. Thanks for the suggestion.
