This is an original Commodore Amiga home computer 4 channel piece of music ("mod"), which should work already on an A500 model from 1987 (or a memory enhanced Amiga1000 from 1985).

The original Amiga .mod will be released in time here:

  • https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_profile&query=96057
  • I've also prepared an self booting Amiga disk with that track. Here:

    • https://www.elektrische-lasagne.de/releases/laden_laeuft2024/
    • I see myself as the inventor of Chiptune Schlagers, but this actually is the first time I did create one running directly on the CHIP of an old retro system, the PAULA chip of the fascinating Commodore Amiga, to be precise.

      This version has less stereo separation compared to what an Amiga computer would provide and a very slight compression was added during recording - you won't notice much of it, even when compared with the original Hardware output.

      Some data from the original .mod file:

      • File Size: 508K / Sample Size: 460k / Sample Size without singing and robot: 33K
      • Techniques used to make it sound like "more" and save space:

        • ADSR faking
        • Filter faking
        • Echo on the same channel
        • time stretching
        • double speed
        • no drum loops
        • Most of these techniques are common with l33t musicians on the Amiga, they are even much more efficient than me (in this track) - like i.e. @[email protected] .
