KCS (keyboard controlled sequencer)
This is a old wellknown midi sequencer for C64, even a danish techno band called the Overlords still use it!
I can find it nowhere.
It was also for the Amiga and PC in old days..
Maybe one of Steinberg's first products.
Search your tool collections!!
Lets find it! |

KCS was by Dr.T, see here: http://www.foryourhead.com/DrTs.htm
Steinberg did Pro16. There was some info about cracking it on Forum64.de but I can't find it at the moment.
EDIT: here. |

I can't imagine The Overlords still using it - they haven't released anything for over a decade :P |

Front 242 apparently used a C128 in '86 for their sequencing, not sure what software they used tho but you can see it here

around 6:25 and a few seconds later a screenshot.
:)
They also credited Commodore on their Tiranny For You album released in '90 or '91 but that was prolly for Amiga related stuff. |

Sorex it looks like it's in 128 80 colum mode, so maybe that narrows it down a bit

I have KCS 2.0... In an original box with manual etc. It is from 1988. I got it as a side effect of buyig a MIDI interface I bought from "Sandinge Import & Data" in the end of the 90's. :)
Since it is c128 only, I never really tried it. Anyway, since a long time ago I have it as a .d64 on my hd.
Dunno how to spread it though. I would not count as a scene release due to the (from my point of view) senseless exclusion of non scene releases on CSDb (despite such software being interesting to have)... I hope Scout feels very satisfied now. ;)
I wonder what the minimal intervention is to make it count as a "scene release". Hehe...
A C64 version is yet to be found, I guess. |

Well.. what the fuck.. here it is:
http://lcp.c64.org/kcs2.0_c128_1988.zip
(I put "supplied by Frantic" in the filename of the .d64.. hehe.. dunno if that makes it a scene release? ;)
Edit: Btw, since I never tried it (have no c128) I can't verify that it works. It didn't seem to start in c128-VICE, but that my well be due to no MIDI-cartridge being inserted in my mac. ;) |
