Impulse Tracker and Windows XP (updated November 2012)

STOP PRESS!!!

If you’re here because you previously had available EMS memory but after some Windows Updates in October 2012, the EMS just disappeared then go to control panel, add/remove programs, click to show updates and remove “Security Update for Windows XP (KB2724197)” then restart your computer. Don’t forget you can visit the Windows Update page, do a “Custom” update, then remove the tick to install the update, expand it, then tick the option not to show the update again.

Since 2003 I’ve received many requests asking if the GroovyCompo web site is still available. I’m pleased to announce I have discovered an old backup tape with the site on and the original pages and results archive can be found here. Please note that music entries are not available.

Results have changed slightly, total score is now devided by entries to give an average score.

Comments (In no particular order)

Eistee.xm

  • Great bassline, great drums, great track
  • Up beat, danceable, demostyle track. Simple beat and chord progression but

Status_q.xm

  • nicely “modelled” leads again, also good work with the filtered drums.
  • Took me a second listening to get into this track...
