Music Development

NES

“
Concentration was the first game I did and produced on an Amiga computer with a MIDI interface before PC's had the hardware to talk from computer to a MIDI keyboard. The MIDI software was Voyetra, then later Voyetra Studio Pro.
„

Rob Wallace created MIDI files in Voyetra Studio Pro which were converted to Bruce Sandig's sound engine.

DOS

“

I used Voyetra Orchestrator Pro for MIDI creation and editing. Back in the old days before fast digital audio and computers, developers only had a VERY limited amount of resources for music. The bulk was for graphics.

Today I use Cubase AI4 with an OASYS keyboard and live players. I am not doing games anymore as I am other commercial music projects.
