Hi Simius, is this keyboard film suitable for the non-Mitsumi keyboards? I have the one that doesn't have the springs under the keys.

Just my two cents: part of the 1st level on some more platforms for comparison:
1st is the ZX Spectrum version, second is the original Amstrad CPC version and third is the improved CPC Plus version.

This is what I came up with fer years ago:

Btw. I'd gladly make music for this baby! Huelsbeck covers of course :)

Hi Eru,
Thanks for you compliment, it's really a good credit for us that even eru (oh yeah, THAT eru!) doesn't know how we did it ;-)
Actually, the colours are a cheap GPRIOR trick that uses either the 3rd colour PMG mode and the reinvented GTIA feature that ORs certain playfield colours with certain PMG colours.
Two of the circles are constructed of PMG (1 player and 1 missile for each, with 4x width, forming circular shape by use of DLI) and the third one is drawn in graphics. The logo uses the two remaining players, and we still have two missiles unused :-)

Here are my ideas, though they are just propositions:
1. Move all the authors from Classics to Various and rename Various to Musicians.
2. In the Games folder cancel division of Classic and Various.
3. Rename Unsorted to Unknown and keep there only songs with completely unknown author.
4. Move the identified songs to Demos and rename Demos to Misc.

The final look would be like this:

Docs/
Games/
Misc/
Musicians/
Unknown/

Removing differentiation of Classics and Various is IMHO a good way to go. However, dividing the musicians by nicknames is IMHO not the right way to go. The archive already includes musicians' nicks (following their real names in the AUTHOR tag) so finding an author by his nick is a piece of cake (especially now that we have ASMADB). Therefore I propose the following change:
Demos/
Docs/
Games/
Unsorted/
Musicians/ (or Composers/)

No more Classic/Various division. Such scheme would simplify the archive. The question is, whether the existing scripts for checking SAP files and creating the database would not have too much trouble with this change.

I have a few mid files with 8-bit conversions so if you have a polyphonic mobile phone, I can send you these.

Cool, but I recommend using PNG or at least GIF format instead of that terrible JPEG logo :-) It will be probably even smaller file, because there are large areas of the same colour :-)

Yeah,
1700 SAPs aren't really many, compared to 27000 SIDs in HVSC, but if there are not enough rippers, there are not enough songs. I'm preparing another ASMA update that should come by the end of June, but I only have about 70 new SAPs for it. Therefore ASMA 2.8 will have about 1850 songs. If you want to contribute, do so :-)
