New Beck single. Synthcart?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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!

A Cart with music songs on it would ROCK!! 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 :D :wink:

That would be cool. Maybe have a small screen saver type background for the music. :music:

Well, Marble Craze, as well as the "formerly available in cart form" JoustPong, Combat Rock, and Mr. Roboto are carts with music songs that ROCK, and they have some nifty bonus games ;)

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).

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.

Yes, please finish the loopcart! :D

 

As it is now it is a very very cool tool; I can't wait until it is finished!

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.
