Episode 100! From December 2020 until today, it's been quite a ride. But no need to get all misty eyed about it. DJ Daemon instead spends this hour exploring two tracker music oddities: the AHX and HVL formats.So expect more chiptunes today, as both those formats were born to excel in that way.
Tracklist
- Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon ericade.radio
- 100 episodes! I did not know we would get there. But we did. No time for celebration. Today, we give you songs from two tracked formats we generally don't play: HivelyTracker Audio and Symponie. I will explain, but first, let's hear what HivelyTracker can do! 26s Intermission · 0:21
- Highscore musiikkia saunassa Charles Ingalls of Genesis Project
- According to the Kodi wiki: \"Hively Tracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga.\" So, meant for chiptune sounds, then. Let's talk AHX, but first, some music. 51s Intermission · 0:45

- So Hively tracker is an improved AHX format. This asks the obvious question: what is AHX? According to their website: \"AHX is a protracker-like music editor that was designed especially to create C64-like synthetic tunes. There is no support for sampled instruments as chip tunes are made to be as small in size as possible.\" It's a rather odd format, and we only have a few of these on the station. Five are added today, by the way as you will hear. 51s Intermission · 0:41
