And what about websites like Demozoo ? For example https://demozoo.org/music/22807/
Or even scene.org with the truckload of .zip files ?!?

hum ... it's definitely very "inspired" .. or lightly updated (depending from where you look).
Still, I'm not set for this one. Would welcome other's view

I misunderstood. there's merge to do.. sorry, we have both guys set up
Will migrate to Lofihile, then.
Thanks

sounds like it, indeed. You're suggesting I had an alternate nick ?

After years and years of gathering dust, the "support us" page (at the bottom of the page) was finally refreshed !
It is here : http://amp.dascene.net/help.php
Thanks Crown

No pb here - both public and admin front end.
Wouldn't it be a browser issue ? I'm using FF on Winblows (81.0 apparently)

I  just noticed that Moon/Abyss has opened up a Github entry for all his work that go back to his Amiga coding days.
https://github.com/Moon70/Amiga-sources
This is great news and I'm in the process of replacing all the converted material we have - which is quite a few musics

Sorry, overlooked this report.
I've deleted the 'Mix' one. It's obviously a mistake and there's no source.
100% identical to Fleshbrain's music

Hello,

We are back online after a few days off. We have been changing the server's location.
We expect to be off briefly in the coming days (no date yet).

Thank you for your understanding.

Stay safe

Hello and welcome,

There is no way to download it all, here. Modarchive.org may indeed help you there or ftp.modland.com also since it's an ftp. They both share their content for mass download.

Good luck
Sylvain

You have it right. The header is 100% identical to Protracker, so ... yeah, that's nice
There was no indication. or even mention, of this packer or its author within the prods. I tried to widen the search to prods that were released in the same span of time (~1991). To no avail. Although, you're right, TKB is a likely candidate indeed.
So yeah, please, reach out to any Devils member and report back

All,

I've recently spent some time on an unknown (to me) protracker clone format. I don't know the name nor the author. The material is found only in Devils prods, so .. I've made up this very original name "Devils replay"

I started looking at this when handling this No Reality demo by Devils. Rather quickly, I found that it's the very same format as found in Colors demo, also by Devils.
Cybfree, once again, quickly reminded me that this format was already beaten - more precisely, the musics from Colors were already converted. Great !, so, I can write a quite converter myself for the others.

That's exactly what I did. It took me 3 days because I'm still not great at coding, but it's done. So, first, all the cases found are here:
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=752

The format itself is somewhat unique in that it does things I've not seen elsewhere. Promizer could be a distant cousin of some sort

depending of the filter, above, the blocks of word/short are stored
filter : abcd-efgh
output: in 16 bytes

if the filter bit is set, the corresponding output is stored in the reference table.


I guess that's it. No sure I was too clear on this one. Please, report back if you want more details.

Again, huge thanks to Cybfree for the help.

the cooperation mod has been sitting in my unknown folder for probably 20 years....

"unknown folder" ? can you expend on that ?
OK, it's off topic, here, but it's interesting. You would share your "unknown folder" ?
On AMP side, we are not too much on the "unknown author" side. We have our own Unknown Composers that doesn't contain too much things but it's all more or less sourced (we know where those come from).
On Kestra side, the no author list is big but not easy to trace. We have correctly set a few of them. I'll try to add a few more because 61 is definitely not the lot

Cheers

[MOD.jungle]

Hello,

Thanks Curt Cool
OK, here's my take.
Thanks to Curt Cool, we know that MOD.jungle comes off the musicdisk by Vanish at the end of 1992. MOD.cooperation comes from an Abandon cracktro in Q1 of 1992. And ... both are memrips on AMP/modland.

Anyway, The differences between the two are :
1. useless set speed added in MOD.jungle (F04) - doesn't affect anything
2. The 7th sample has its data after loop end removed in MOD.jungle

Two choices, here.
-> Keep both and comment that MOD.jungle is an edited version of MOD.cooperation - and do this "evolution" thing on Kestra.
-> Trash mod.jungle and comment on Kestra.

I missed something ? Oh, and yeah, I'm updating both now on AMP with non-memrips

The Amiga musician Razmo has passed away.
This sad news was reported on FB and local Danish social media web site - at least.
Our condolences to family and friends.
