I'm supposed to be going to a performance of one of my pieces in France sometime in September, but i'm not sure of the date. I'm secretly hoping that it's not the weekend of the 10th. It would be nice to meet up with folks of a like mind (meaning those that like curry). Last time I just stood quietl...

All those 'hi's' make me feel welcome

danceaway, I hope to make it to the September event. It would be fun to raise a glass to the old SID (again).

Pex, listen to the Rambo loading music at 2:09. It's an example of where Martin uses a downward arpeggio to give a thumping sound. When you look at the source code for the track at 2:09 Martin uses the same pattern used for the chords in the following bar (2:11), only using a different envelope and ...

Feel the need to drop in and say Hi after a sudden onset of nostalgia... or old age... or both. Been thinking about my past life as a C64 composer, and how much fun it was to be fooling around with that little chip called SID all those years ago. It's also great to hear about the up-coming Mancheste...

Oh.. and apologies for bumping-up an old topic, but arpeggios were close to my heart!

Hope my rant helps someone

It sounded to me like most C64 chord arpeggios were executed bottom to top (C-E-G). This was ubiquitous with Hubbard, Dalglish, Whittaker etc. Then there were composers like Martin Galway who seemed to use downward arpeggios (G-E-C). This may seem like a slight distinction, but the aural effect is t...
