Model:Samples does Amiga Tracker Music - Crystal Hammer

Recreating the classic Commodore Amiga tracker song "Crystal Hammer" - on an Elektron Model:Samples. The song was originally written by Karsten Obarski back in 1987.

The first section is a background story about Amiga and trackers in general, as well as the process on how this recreation was done.

All the sounds were converted from the original ST-01 files, and the song data was manually input on the Model:Samples, only using four out of the six available channels (all for the sake of authenticity)

This was made possible thanks to the new firmware update 1.02A, which allows samples to be parameter locked.

0:10 Background on Commodore Amiga

1:28 ST-xx sound disks
1:45 Crystal Hammer
2:07 Converting and transferring ST-01 to Model:Samples
2:49 Manually programming Crystal Hammer

[captronchron]

Never heard it back in the day so it's a new song to me... WOW! Love it and I just heard it for the first time today, had to play it again!

[MrMarcLaflamme]

Just goes to show you the amount of talent and work that went into these songs back in the day. This was really well done! I wish devices like this had the ability to consolidate tracks automatically. Would make the process of creation in this style much easier.

If The Cure were a disco group, this is what it would sound like.
