Oh yes! The 8-bit Apple II demo scene finally takes 'flight'! Awesome!

Lovely work by the band.  I enjoyed listening all the way through twice 
in one sitting, and found myself humming one of the songs later in the 
day, just walking down the hallway.

To the user interface architect - any chance the player could be 
convinced to run through all songs in order?  With some inter-song gaps, 
it would give a full 'album' experience!

Sweet!  Not sure why JACE didn't load it as a floppy image but ran it fine as if it were an HDV image.  Probably an issue with the PO ordering support?  Oh well, at least I was able to start it up somehow and listen.  Very cool!

Maybe we should pester Antoine for his awesome playback routines?  Seems there is a lot of arpeggiation to make it sound like there are more than 2 voices.

It's a ProDOS-ordered image with a ProDOS filesystem with a .po 
suffix... can't get too much more explicit than that. ;-)

Check out the disk image - the source is included.

It's actually using the Electric Duet player.  This decision was made pretty
early on to keep things familiar for potential musicians.

The main agony for Antoine was that when we started testing the songs in th=

uce that, which apparently was not contained in the duet's player routine i=
tself. I think that's why it was hard to find? But he can correct me if I t=
old this story wrong.

I think both Daniel and I have our own perceptual type tricks that can make=
 the tracks sound like they're playing more than 2 voices at times. I notic=
ed Daniel has a fair bit of octave-bouncing style like C64 Sids sometimes u=
sed. I use a lot of timbre changes really close together and often scoop ou=
t fractions of notes to poke in a percussive sound in an octave far away.

That's pretty impressive that you got that old routine to do new tricks wit=

Yes, playing from within the editor and the jukebox are not identical. The
jukebox simply hands off the entire tune to the player routine. The editor
calls the player routine once for each note. After each note, control returns
back to the editor.  The editor advances the song pointer and updates the
"LINE: XXX" display at the top of the screen before calling the player routine
again.

Great disk! I liked all of the music, and was surprised to be reminded of the movie "Logan's Run", from 1976, by Hop867. We need more things like this!

Yeah! It is here! Great work Daniel and Wade and Melissa!
