After playing Turrican 3 on her C64, she became determined to write her own MOD of the music on her A1200, which she explains:
She explains a bit of her process, then at the end of her article she drops in a very interesting video of the entire process. Cool stuff!The .MOD and .SID formats are completely different in how they work, as are the SID and Paula Chips. I do believe Paula also has some Wavetable Synthesis and FM Synthesis capabilities. Which is why I sometimes felt that Amiga and Commodore 64 music sometimes reminds me of one another. However as far as I know there is no chance of conversion from one format to the other. So the only option is to recreate a MOD by ear.
After watching Shot97 create his own custom tunes and album, in conjunction with Maddi's alternative approach, the fact is that the Amiga was and is a very cool tool for creating awesome music - even today.
