Do you compose with midi or trackers ?

Just wondering what the workflow is for the musicians here now and in the "old" days ?

Are you composing with a midi keyboard / software, then converting to a tracker / utility to create SID "instruments"?

If so, what conversion tool(s) are you using?

Or are you composing directly in tracker / other software .. i.e. not "playing it in realtime" ?

Believe it or not, dear Jailbait, but the Kawasaki Rhythm Rocker is the sole reason I became interested in composing. I played with it for hours and hours back in the late 80s until I was able to convince poor mommmy to scramble up some money for an Amiga 500 after seeing Soundtracker in action at a neighbor's place. Poor mommy had to scramble up even more money that wasn't there for a Yamaha PSR keyboard a year or two later. Needless to say, Kawasaki Rhythm Rocker is a red rag to her .(

we could make a Rhythm Rocker music competition, bu ti guess it will fail, because people are not willing to spend the time to learn using it.. :)

I tried to make a tune in Geor Feil's (Synth Sample) editor, but i just failed. its some BASIC like command system, and well, 30 mins.. then i stalled.

Put a decent "how to" doc together for it first, then run a competition...?

I make music by slapping wet toast with spoons.

... and it works surprisingly well. Way ahead of it's time, that's what it is.
