A drum sequencer for the Amiga.
Basically this is a 20 year old program simulating a 30 year old drum machine on a 25 year old computer system ;)
This version was planned as a commercial release in 1993, but was never published at that time (or was it?). It is now available under a BSD style license.
BeatStomper III was (and still can be) built with Aztec C 5:
> cc -so -wn -wo bs.c
> cc -so -wn midi.c
> ln +cd bs.o midi.o -lc
In branch vbcc a version is provided which can be built using a Linux/i386 based cross-development environment.
For instant fun I've added a minimal Workbench disk under dist, which can started using WinUAE's harddisk simulation.
You only need the Kickstart 2.04 ROM file. The program was never tested with newer AmigaOS versions.
I've included some sound samples which are taken from the BeatStomper V4.0 release back in 1990.
- BeatStomper V2.0: Franz 063
- BeatStomper V4.0: Franz 077
BeatStomper II V1.0: KICKPD 325
There might also exist a BeatStomper II V1.1 release. But the only place where it is mentioned is here. At least I've still got the source code...
