Topic: Unknown engine - DoubleDash

Hello 1-bit freax,
i nearly forgot this routine! Pin-based, but with some operators like portamentos and arp-like chords. Probably it's made by Tomas Partl - VooDoo (friend of Frantisek FUka - Fuxoft).

Wow, great find! I don't think it's pin-based, actually. Sounds more like a hybrid of Lyndon Sharp's engine and Savage. And 3 channels, too, wow.  Unfortunately the parasite tone is strong in this one, but nevertheless very fascinating to see that something like this existed back in 1990.

Also, very interesting are, from that 1987-1989 era roughly:

- Galactic Gunners (actually, it was an AY-to-speaker replayer, playing probably Fuxoft's Amadeus AY routine against this loop, allegedly, as Cybexlab, Miroslav Fidler, recently revealed):

- Star Fly (T.R.C.'s first attempt, with similar mistage as Matthew Smith did in JSW - XORed mixing? :-D)

- Star Swallow (Tomas Rylek aka T. R. C. with better sounding loop):

- Star Fox (Fuxoft's crappy routine? :-D Except that phasing sound between final patterns)

- Aknadach (MS-CID as author, but the routine is probably ripped from elsewhere):

Re: Unknown engine - DoubleDash

Thanks, detective, much obliged! wink
We had another thread about this stuff: http://randomflux.info/1bit/viewtopic.php?id=153
Sadly punBB doesn't allow to merge topics (only with some 3rd party mod which reportedly doesn't work properly), so I'll have to think about collecting all this info into a sticky master post at some point.
