Don't look back

Since the Dirtywave M8 Jungle Compo, I've been playing a lot with breakbeats, so there'll be plenty of breakbeats in my WB submissions. This track started out with me experimenting a bit with E minor chords on the FM synth. This is also the first time that I made use of auxiliary tables in a song. I had to do it here because I needed three FX lanes for the chords on the FM synth, but found that I needed another lane for filter automation. The chords are therefore set by jumping to auxiliary tables that have the notes for the chords set in the FX lanes.
I started with this track a while ago. I did a bit of arranging and polishing this week, but not as much as I wanted. For example, I had in mind to add some variation to the second breakbeat section (the slightly faster one). However, I spent quite a lot of my free time figuring out my Mega65. I am working on this crazy idea now to write a tracker for it, so that I can make use of its 4 SIDs without having to resort to external emulators (the whole point of having the Mega65 is to do the work on the Mega65
). I am also doing the coding on the Mega65. Lot's of fun, but time consuming.
For next week I hope to make something entirely new with a new toy I am expecting to receive tomorrow!
