poker_plus #1 Posted February 16, 2005 The new Beck single (on iTunes only I believe) has a track called "Bad Cartridge". I swear it sounds like it was made with Paul Slocum's Synthcart. Does anyone know the scoop? Sorry if this has been covered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert #2 Posted February 16, 2005 I haven't heard the track, but I just pointed Paul Slocum to this thread. ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmpddytim #3 Posted February 16, 2005 I just previewed it on iTunes and it does sound kinda Slocumish. I don't know if its using the synthcart however, it just doesn't sound quite right. And IMHO Pual's work sounds much, much cooler. Speaking of Paul's music I wonder if he will ever release a record on an atari cart. Not a game or a program to make music, just songs on a cart with a menu to choose between them. I think that would kick ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herr professor #4 Posted February 16, 2005 the remixes are made with gameboy (8-bit) and atari st (paza) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room 34 #5 Posted February 16, 2005 Definitely not Synthcart, but in the spirit. I love it! But now I need to get my all-Atari 2600 album finished before I look like a bandwagon jumper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #6 Posted February 16, 2005 LSDJ (Gameboy) can sound a lot like synthcart or the sequencer kit at times. -paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be sure to buy one, Maybe if you get a pre-order" thing going it would be enough to get one made?? Just a thought. But with that said, I'm first on the list!! Also, Does anyone remember the NES game "Sunday Funday"? It had a 4HIM (Christian band) exclusive song the was was on that cart that was choosen from a menu. There was 3 options, 1 play Sunday Funday, 2 Play some Bible Trivia game, 3 listen to the song as the lyrics scrolled on the screen. But as well all know it would be much more cool if it was on the ATARI :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foxglove9 #8 Posted February 16, 2005 Just listened to some samples on iTunes. Good to see Beck putting out new tunes. Sounds like he's using a Nanoloop or LSDJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe have a small screen saver type background for the music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room 34 #11 Posted February 16, 2005 Just listened to some samples on iTunes. Good to see Beck putting out new tunes. Sounds like he's using a Nanoloop or LSDJ. Seek out the web pages of the groups that did these remixes and you can learn about the technology they used. These are all "8-bit"-style remixes of songs that will be appearing on Beck's new album (in non-Nintendo-esque form). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #12 Posted February 16, 2005 I've been considering programming something like a music multicart/demo. I'll probably be more likely to do that when I finish the loopcart and other people can start making full 2600 songs. -paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it is now it is a very very cool tool; I can't wait until it is finished! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Slocum #14 Posted February 16, 2005 It'll get done soon. I was going to try to hammer it out in January, but I ended up moving which has been eating up a lot of time. Hopefully I'll finish it up in March or April. I've completed quite a bit more than what's in the beta on my site, but it's too buggy to post yet. -paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
