The Lobby / is my stuff good enough to post here?

hey guys. I make tracker music for the Apple IIGS computer that came out in 1986. The GS was designed to evolve the aging Apple II line and also compete with the earliest Commodore Amiga computers. It didn't have much support from Apple, they decided to spend more resources on the new Macintosh line. The IIGS died shortly after.

It had some unique hardware sound implementations, and it can be a challenge to fit all samples to 64 KB of DOCRAM. But it had much expanded channel support with 16 stereo channels and 32 oscillators. Ninjaforce, one of the long time demo scene and commercial game developers for the platform, released a new tracker player in 2018 that utilizes the OpenMPT standard format and greatly reduces many of the playback issues that the older tracker players on the system suffered. This makes it very easy to create new music for the platform.

Here are many tracks I've written over the past year trying to push the format as far as I can. I only have them on SoundCloud for now, but these are live recordings from a IIGS emulator. These tracks are all basic 14 channel ProTracker modules without Amiga frequency restrictions. The Ensoniq DOC can handle a much larger frequency range, but the player itself has issues with some non-standard C-7 and higher notes. These tracks probably would not play on 4 channel Paula machines unfortunately, but the module player on this site should handle them without a problem.

I hope that sharing a SoundCloud link is not against the rules, if my post is removed for that I understand and apologize. Thanks for listening!
