Editor worktunes in NewPlayer v08.02 - v10.G1, 1988-1989.

Player v10.G1 was the first player to support multiple tunes in the same player
in the editor. This was accomplished by seperating the tunes with FF00 or FE00
endmarks. If you load "ZIPPY.DAT" into the editor you can see how this is done.



ABSTR_1.DAT     Abstract.1

                Notice the typical leader instrument which I used a lot in
                this player version.

CHORD_1.DAT     Chord.1

                Tune using only two voices.

FIASKO_2.DAT    Fiasko #2

                This was in fact the first suggestion to the "Oswald" game. I
                played the tune to the programmer and graphician of the game
                but they didn't like it. They loved the next attempt however,
                which is the music you can hear on the game today! :)

KING.DAT        King

                Slow, "Hiscore"-like song.

MARTIN_4.DAT    Martin.4

                This tune ought to have been packed and spread. Apart from
                using the drumset from the "Batman"-tune, I experimented with
                the puls Martin Galway made in the "Rambo" highscore tune.
                Notice the melodic changes at 00:41 and 01:12.

MULTI_2.DAT     Multivoice.2

                Here I experimented with the idea of using arpeggio to simulate
                a lot of voices. It doesn't sound too inspiring though...

PSEUDO.DAT      Pseudo

                Made in the "Oswald" period. Cute little song, isn't it! ;)
                If you load this block into the editor you will find three
                additional jingles.

ZIPPY.DAT       Zippy Race

                Conversion of the music from the arcade game of the same name.
                It was also known as "Traverse USA". I happened to own an
                arcade machine hooked up to an Amiga monitor, and this was one
                of the "cards" I had. The first tune is the 2-voice ingame tune,
                and the second is the 2-voice "GO!" ditty.
