    SAM, Amazing mate.
    I nearly died in 1998. I was in intensive care for 70 plus days, then was moved to a surgical ward where I remained for almost a year. The nurses and staff, who I obviously got to know really well, knew I was into making electronic music, and because I had my PlayStation in my hospital room, they got me Music as a birthday gift. From that moment on my stay in hospital became a lot easier, as I was able to keep my mind occupied with making some rudimentary songs on this!
    When I finally returned home, a lot of the tunes I had come up with whilst in hospital became the basis of future tracks, which I was able to fashion and craft using my proper equipment at home.
    This PlayStation software/game may be simple, but it holds a very special place in my heart!
    Cool vid mate

      Hi Tim, just wanted to say hi and THANK YOU for making such a cool little product! I started making music in high school on the PS1 MTV Music Generator (I think it was Music 2 in the UK) and for years I used it for drums/beats. Some of the old songs on my channel utilize the beats and sampler tool - ruclips.net/video/OnSVPjPsW0Q/видео.html

      MTV music generator definitely didnt get the warm welcome it deserved because back then, I don't think anyone would of believed you guys managed to compile a "complete" beat making program and run it on a PS1. Aside from a few producers , NOBODY acknowledged it for being anything more than a "game" . I always wondered how close Jester and Image-Line were because not even 2 years after MTV:MG a surprising revamped FL 2.0 is released and oddly it shared a striking resemblance, IMO.

      Me and my best mate of 30 years got matching tattoos of the DJ guy from the cover last November because we spent our youth filling memory card after memory card, around 30 in all, (even deleting our games because we were worried about losing tracks) with Music and Music 2000.
      A few weeks ago we finally, after about 3 years of trying, backed up all of our tracks to a computer about 15 years after our memory cards should've degraded.
      Music and Music 2000 has been a really big deal for us so thank you!

    This was literally how I got into music production.
    Had this in the 90’s in college, the many days that no one had any money we’d cram into my room and make the loudest hardcore tracks.
    Years later I got the MTV music generator on PS2, that had quite a bit of power to it, even had a sampler, managed to remix vocal tracks, then I decided I wanted something better so bought myself a PC, found a cracked version of cubase SX 3, loved it for years, then got the wife to get me the proper Cubase 5, still use it nearly daily.
    And it all started from that PlayStation game over 20 years ago.

      Jester / Codemasters got the interface together for Music2000, with support for the dual shock controllers it was a lot faster for editing. Then they lost their mind and went all chintzy UI again for Music Generator 2 / Music 3000.
      Judge Jules was certainly the proto hipster DJ, but Music2000 was endorsed by such credible artists as Grooverider and Leftfield. With demo songs and videos from both. It was probably the most underrated software of the entire 20th century.

The demo version contained a much smaller number of samples. And it did not allow to interfere in the created patern. It's nice to see this program years later.

    I absolutely loved this music program for PS1 back in the 90s. It was actually quite deep and editable as a music making tool, and my first experience of using a type of ‘DAW’ to sequence loops and one shots on a ‘computer’. It was easy to create fills, risers, edit samples etc. I made loads of tracks with it and recorded them into my Sony minidisc player as backups. Still got ‘em, and the same minidisc player is still working. They brought out a sequel to this one called Music 2000, but somehow I didn’t find it as good as the original. Apart from the obvious difference in sound quality and depth, the concept is not that disimilar 20 years later working on Korg Gadget! Great episode, brings back fond memories of my PS1 days and my first venture into ‘computer-made’ music. 👍🕷

    This is where it all started for me with drum programming I wrote many songs using this. Easy to use and not that bad samples I moved on to fruity. Loops and audition DAW after this once I got a computer and used some of the stuff I wrote using this. Good memories

    Music: Music Generator For The Playstation would later get a few sequels, a GameBoy spin-off of sorts, and would be lended the MTV license twice, with Music 2000 bring known as MTV Music Generator in North America, because everyone had MTV, either listening to Music from the Music videos, awating which artist will get an award at the MTV Music Awards, or just watching possible reruns of Bevis and Butthead and Æon Flux, and the latest episode of Celebrity Deathmatch. Like, MTV was the king at that point in time, and it would make sense for someone to try and make music, so they licensed their brand to Jester and they gave us a rebadged version of Music 2000 with the MTV branding.

    Music was a great entry into making tracks, I spent loads of hours as a teenager using this. However, coming back to it again before selling my video game collection: using the controller to lay down notes and patterns is the most fiddliest of methods I have ever endured. Love the input from legendary musician CoLD SToRAGE / Tim Wright on the demos too.
    Just as an aside - I would totally recommend anyone that has the disc that you use a utility like PSound on Windows to extract all the samples from the Playstation disc as Wavs (all at 11khz, 22khz and 44khz versions)

    I spent countless hours with that software from when I was 13-14 to 17 years old. I started using Cubasis VST when I was 15 but, I kept on using Music from time to time untill my Playstation developed a fault.
    I didn't play much with other games once I got Music, that CD was permanently into my Playstation. I cut my teeth on making music with it.
    By the way, at 6'50'' the note doesn't go higher because the sample is loaded at "high quality" (the number 6 before the instrument name has a green background, meaning it's at full quality) but you can load at "medium quality" (yellow background) or low quality (red background, if I recall correctly). If you lower the sound quality, you raise the pitch of the sample by one octave (and you save memory to load more samples).
    Another funny - albeit memory-hungry - thing to do with Music is to load a bunch of vocal samples, then use the "sampling compensation" (sample start/end point) to cut pieces of words and then sequence the different them to obtain new words.
    I have a lot of memories of that software, it has a special place in my heart.

    I know I'm late to the party watching this vid. But I'll add my thoughts anyway. I still have this software and the Music 2000 follow-up. I got into both 'games' big time when they first came out. Made tonnes of tunes, copied them onto cassettes and some onto minidisc, proper '90's. To be fair, my efforts were mostly average, but there are a few proper choonz amongst the experimental noises. Currently got a couple of synths on order, planning to re-ignite my musical musings. Maybe I can re-visit these old tunes and re-mix myself. Plenty of inspiration on this awesome channel, enjoying playing catch-up watching Sam's adventures.

  • @MeAndTheBoys_

    Oh yes...the good old Music. I still got my Music on the shelf here. I learned a lot making music with....Music. After Music came out, there was this other Playstation program called Ejay Clubworld,that was even more serious piece of software. Could you do a review of Ejays Clubworld perhaps?
    Anyways,Music will always be etched into my memories as a gateway into music production for me. After Music,i got a proper PC and i was on my way. Good times.

    This was my addiction, it was a really intuitive and strangely (relatively) powerful piece of software for the Playstation. Was always frustrating that there was no sampling available in this version though, it made everything sound really similar. Still, very cool and I remember buying it as soon as it came out. Later on it also made me buy Reason for the PC.
