CODE BY DARIUSZ SOLTYSIK AND OLLI. GRAPHICS BY DARIUSZ SOLTYSIK. MUSICS BY ARNE PUSZELSKI. MAINSTORY AND FIXED BY OLLI. PLEASE PRESS SPACE TO ENTER OUR FIRST PIECE OF ARTL. - AFHDAFAFHD8DA9:DI;<,IJHD I - HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST DEMO BY DANCE 2 TRANCE. THIS DEMO WAS MAINLY WRITTEN BY ME TO SHOW YOU THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE A NEW GENERATION OF SOUND ON THE 64. THE DEMO IS MENT AS AN OFFER TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CONTACT US TO GET SOUND FOR THEIR GAMES. WE WON'T MAKE ANY MUSIC FOR DEMOS OR ANY SIMILAR KIND OF STUFF (SOMETIMES FOR SPECIAL FRIENDS). AND NOW THE HISTORY OF DANCE 2 TRANCE WRITTEN BY OLIVER IHDE AND DARIUSZ SOLTYSIK. WELL, NOW OLLI IS THINKING ABOUT THE STORYL.J ALHOL YES. ONCE UPON A TIME, THE TWO CRAZY MATES FROM TIMMENDORF (GERMONEY) MET ONCE AGAIN TO DISCUSS THEIR GLORIOUS FUTURE CONCERNING 'SCENE-LIFE', AND SO, FIRST THE 'PARANOID ARTISTS' WERE BUILT IN 1989. WELL, AT THAT TIME IT WAS NOT MUCH OF A GOOD SOUNDEDITOR, IT WAS JUST LIKE FUTURE COMPOSER, CALLED 'SIDDRIVER 4.1+' BUT THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A FUNTASTIC STORY. LATER IN JUNE 1991, OLLI HAD THE TOTAL BLACK-OUT AND THOUGHT ABOUT A NEW NAME, AND AS HE IS A TEKKN0-PHREAK, HE GAVE DARIUSZ A NEW TEKKN0-TAPE CALLED 'DANCE 2 TRANCE WITH OLLIBOLLY', AND SO, FINALLY A NEW NAME FOR THIS 3-YEARS-PROJECT WAS FOUND. AT THAT TIME, WE WERE MEMBERS OF THE INSIDERS BUT DID NOT RELEASE ANY SINGLE MUSIC BECAUSE DARIUSZ IMPROVED HIS EDITOR EVERY WEEK (JUST LIKE HE STILL DOES NOWADAYSL.C - HAHA). THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THAT NO !REAL! TALENTED COMPOSER WAS IN RANGE UNTIL THEN. BUT ALREADY AT THAT POINT (JUNE 1991) IT WAS A GREAT VERSION OF THE 'SOUNDEDITOR 1.0', ALTHOUGH EVEN THE SIDDRIVER 4.1+ INCLUDED WINDOWSL.C - BUT THEN, IN EARLY FEBRUARY 1992, OLLI GOT BACK AFTER BEING BUSTED THE !FIFTH! TIME AND SO HE ALSO PHONED BACK SOME OF HIS LOCAL FRIENDS, ALSO RECOGNIZING THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER MUSICIAN LIVING QUITE CLOSE TO HIM, IN TECHAU, APPR. 10 MILES, ELRC - KM. AWAY FROM HIM. SO, FROM THAT POINT, THERE WERE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS TO COME TOGETHER (AND STICK TOGETHER, DARIUSZL!C - ) TO GET SOME FUNKY STUFF DONE. FIRST, WE THOUGHT ARNE WOULD HAVE MANY DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING INTO HIS JOB ON SE 3.0, BUT HE REALLY DID A GREAT JOB, AS YOU CAN HEAR RIGHT NOW. AND BE HONEST, ISN'T THIS A GREAT DEAL? SO BETTER GO AND VOTE FOR US, BOYLEGX. THIS IS ANOTHER ASPECT WE DO DEFINITELY !NOT! AGREE WITH: WHY THOSE VIBRATORS ARE THAT HIGH PLACED IN THE CHARTS, DO YOU ALL LIKE THIS NIGGER-CRAP, ESP. JAZZ, RAP, FUNK, SOUL ETC.?? OR MAYBE ALL THE VIBRANTS-MEMBERS HAD TO SIGN A CONTRACT INCLUDING TO COMPOSE JAZZ-MUSIC ONLY? HLML.K - STRANGE. AND NOW, WE WILL COME TO A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF SOUND-PROGRAMMING: THE MAGICAL WORD CALLED 'RASTERTIME'. AS MANY OF THOSE SOCALLED 'CODERS' THINK, A SHORT RASTERTIME OF APP. 2-4 CURSORS IS SUFFICIENT, WE CAN JUST ANSWER, THAT THOSE ROUTINES CAN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT SOUND QUALITY, OR DO THEY WORD USING HIDDEN RASTERTIME, HUH? WELL, FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, THOSE MUSIC-ROUTINE-CODERS LEFT OUT ANY SIGN OF QUALITY UNTIL THEY GOT THEIR DAMN SHORT RASTERTIME. WELL, SURE, RASTERTIME IS LIMITED, BUT CAN YOU REALLY ACHIEVE A QUALITY LIKE MON OR US? SO SHUT THE FUCK UP. AND NOW, WE WILL COME TO THE TEKKNICAL ASPECTS OF SE 7.0 OPPS, 1.0 OF COURSEL.C - WELL, THE MAIN THING THAT MAKES THIS SOUND-QUALITY POSSIBLE IS CALLED MMI. I FOUND A WAY TO USE THE HEX VEKTOR LFJC/LFO?D IN THE SAME WAY AS THE NORMAL NMI PLAYS SAMPLES. YOU CAN TIME THIS VEKTOR BY USING THE CIA3 PLACED AT HEX. DE00. IT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO PLAY 3 WAY SOUND BY IRQ, MMI AND IRQ. I KNOW THAT THE ROM-ROUTINE OF THE MMI IS PLACED AT FCE2. BUT AS YOU MAY NOTICE IT WAS ONLY POSSIBLE TO PLAY SAMPLES USING HEX. D418. I MANAGED TO PLAY 8-BIT SAMPLES USING HEX. D402/D403 (12-BIT-PULSE REGISTER). THE SAMPLES ARE VERY SHORT, BECAUSE THE 64ER IS NOT ABLE TO PLAY SAMPLES USING 3 INTERRUPTS FAST ENOUGH, THAT LOWERS THE QUALITY, BUT THE RESULT IS GOOD ENOUGH. THE ROUTINE USES ONLY 40% OF THE PROCESSOR-TIME. IF ANY ONE OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE HAS GOT SOURCE-CODES OF SOUNDROUTINES ON 64'ER, ST, AMIGA, ARCHIMEDES, PC AND OTHER COMPUTERS, PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME OR JUST CONTACT DANCE 2 TRANCE, OR YOU MIGHT DIAL OLLI'S PRIVATE SEX-LINE AS WELL - HARHAR, J/K. NOW WE DESTROY THIS COMPUTER, IT HAS CAUSED ENOUGH TROUBLE. DARIUSZ, JUST TAKING A SHOWER, CRAMPS OUT OF THE BATH-ROOM TO SAVE HIS EQUIPMENT, BUT IT IS JUST TV SAYING 'BRAVO, BOND 007, AND ONCE AGAIN THE WORLD WAS SAVEDL.:' HA, TYPICAL!L - GNOW WE WILL DEAL WITH A DIFFERENT STORY: ONCE, IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING, OLLI BROKE INTO A DEC SERVER TO STEAL MORE TEXT AND INFO FILES ABOUT AN ATOMIC WEAPONRY DEPOT LOCATED AT WILHELMSHAFEN, 54 DEG NORTH, 4 DEG EAST. THOSE TEXT FILES HAD TO BE DECODED USING A FREQUENCY-CRACKED CD-ROUTINE ONLY. THE RESULT WAS AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS: THIS DEPOT HAD THE RANGE OF A SOCCER-FIELD, CIRCLED BY NUMEROUS ENCLOSURES. THE FIRST A WOODEN ONE TO COMPLICATE THE INSIGHT INTO THE CAMP. THE SECOND WAS A 20 METERS LARGE BARBED WIRE. THE THIRD ONE WITH MAN'S HEIGHT TO AVOID ANIMALS TO WALK INSIDE. THEN, A CLEAR ZONE, WHICH IS BEING CHECKED LIKE A MICROWAVE OVEN, USING MICROWAVES. THE FOURTH ENCLOSURE WAS A CONTACT WIRE, CAUSING BIG TROUBLE AFTER TOUCHING. ALSO WITH BARBED WIRE! THE NEXT AREA WAS A 5 METERS LARGE CLEAR ZONE WITH WHITE ROCKS HERE AND THERE, SO THAT ANY LYING OBJECT WOULD BE SEEN EVEN AT DARK NIGHT, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER BARBED CONTACT WIRE. NEXT WAS THE MAIN AREA WHERE THE AMMO BUNKERS WERE LOCATED, SAFE AGAINST APPROACHING HELICOPTERS USING HIGH MASTS. THEN, THREE PARALLELY LAYED GRASSED BUNKERS, FROM WHERE A STREET LED TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE. THE BUNKERS WERE MADE OUT OF A CONCRETE LEG., ENTRANCES, I.E. DOORS OUT OF A SPECIAL STEEL MATERIAL TO AVOID DESTRUCTION BY SHELLS. IF SOMEBODY MANAGED TO GET THROUGH THESE SECURITY AREAS, THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER TARGET TO OVERCOME: COMPUTERS WITH SECURITY CODES, AND IF THESE WERE NOT ENTERED PROPERLY, GAS WOULD STREAM OUT OF THE PRESSURE HULLS TO KILL THE INFILTRATING ENEMY. TO TRANSPORT THE ROCKETS, IT WAS URGENTLY NECESSARY TO MAKE USE OF TRUCKS, AND TO LIFT THEM THEY USED CRANES. FURTHERMORE, THERE WERE RANDOMIZED TWO-MEN-PATROLS, WHICH COULD NOT BE CALCULATED BEFORE, AS THERE WAS A SLOGAN NAMED 'ALEA IACTA EST.'. SENTRIES ON THE DRILL-GROUND. THE FIRST WATCHTOWER WAS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE FROM THE ENTRANCE-VIEW. THE SECOND BETWEEN THE THIRD AND FOURTH WIRE. PLUS, SLIGHT BUNKERS FOR SOLDIERS AT ANY OF THE FOUR CORNERS WITHIN THE MAIN AREA. THEN, DOG-PATROLS AND ANOTHER BUILDING ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, BUT NOT ARMORED, THE MAIN ENERGY TRACT. THE MAIN SECURITY BASED ON BOTH TOWERS, WHICH COULD SIGHT ANY TARGET FROM THEIR HEIGHT. A STUPID CORPORAL AND TWO 'NORMAL' RECRUITS ON THE MAIN TOWER WERE DETAILED TO KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE YARD. BESIDES THE STANDARD ARMS THEY HAD GRENADES, GAS AND SPLITS AND A COMPUTER THAT SHOWED THEM ANY MOVEMENT OR TOUCH ON THE BASE. FURTHERMORE, THEY WERE EQUIPPED WITH 10 MONITORS TO WATCH THE ENERGY TRACT, MAIN ENTRANCE, AND THOSE WELLKNOWN DEAD DEGREES UNDER THE TOWER. THE SECOND TOWER HAD JUST THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT AND WEAPONRY, BUT ALSO COMPUTERS WITH CONTACT SURVEILLANCE. BOTH TOWERS HAD A INFRARED NIGHT-SIGHT-EQUIPMENT. LAST THERE WAS A SENTRY AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE, WHO HAD THE NIGGERJOB TO DECIDE WHETHER THE 'GUEST' WAS TO LED IN OR NOT. USING A VOICE VALIDATION THE GUEST'S PERSONAL DATA WHERE CHECKED TOGETHER WITH THE CORPORAL. HE WAS IDENTIFIED USING HIS NAME, ID, AND GRADE. THEN, AFTER THE FIRST SENTRY HAD OPENED THE ELECTRIC DOOR, A SECOND SENTRY CAME OUT TO HAVE A BODY CHECK. AND FINALLY, AFTER ALL THIS, A SOLDIER WAS LED INTO THE CAMP. THE REGIMENT WHO DID THE SURVEILLANCE CONSISTED OF FOUR GROUPS, A FIRST LIEUTENANT, AND HIS SECOND LIEUTENANTS. THE GROUPS CONSISTED OF A CORPORAL AND FIVE PRIVATES, WHICH CHANGED SERVICE EVERY TWO HOURS ON THE MAIN TOWER, THE SECOND CONTROL TOWER AND AT THE ENTRANCE SENTRY. ALL THOSE SURVEILLANCE GROUPS WERE CONNECTED VIA PHONE AND RADIO. IN CASE, ALARM WAS SIGNALLED FROM ANY TOWER, THE OTHER THREE GROUPS HAD TO LACE THE FOUR CORNER BUNKERS WITH THEIR COMPLETE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING MACHINE-GUNS AND GRENADE-THROWERS. THERE WAS ANOTHER DETACHMENT WHICH WAS NEARLY ALWAYS IN THE BARRACKS; THIS ONE WAS CALLED FOR SUPPORT BY RADIO MESSAGE AND THEY HAD TO BE THERE WITHIN 20 MINUTES WITH TANKS ETC. AND THEIR JOB WAS TO SECURE THE OUTER YARD. THIS SPECIAL GROUP WAS CALLED IN EMERGENCIES AND WHEN THE CAMP WAS SURROUNDED BY THICK FOG SO THAT THE VISIBILITY WAS DECREASED TO ITS LIMITS. THE WHOLE CAMP WAS OF COURSE ENLIGHTENED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. THE WHOLE SECURITY WAS BASED ON EXPERIENCES WITH ELITE TROOPS WHICH THEY HAD TAKEN TO TEST THEIR SECURITY-ENDEAVOURS. OUR PLAN WAS TO STEAL A LANCE-ROCKET TO EXTERMINATE THE VIB-JAZZ-BAND, ESP. JCH! BUT FIRST WE HAD TO GET INTO THE CAMP. WE ONLY HAD OURSELVES AND OUR EXTRAORDINARY ABILITIES (DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE OF COURSE ARE EXTRAORDINAIRE, AS WELL!). THE APPROACH SHOULD TAKE PLACE AT NIGHT, OF COURSE, IF POSSIBLE, SHORTLY BEFORE THE SURVEILLANCES CHANGE (EVERY 2 HRS AS REPORTED). IT WAS ONLY POSSIBLE TO ENTER THE CAMP BY AIR USING SOME SORT OF PARA-GLIDERS, JUST LIKE A GLIDER RIDER, HARHAR. EVERY MORNING, FOOD WAS BROUGHT TO THE CAMP BY A CORPORAL. THE VAN REMAINED AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE. WHILE THE CORPORAL WAS IDENTIFIED (ID, GRADE ETCL.C - ) OUR BOMB, WHICH WAS AFFIXED UNDER THE VAN, EXPLODED. THEN, WE ROSE A LITTLE RED BALLOONS (NO, NOT 99 REDL.C - ) 5 KM AWAY TO CHEAT THEM AND THEY REALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS AN AIR-ATTACK. OLLI DISCONNECTED THE RADIO AND ESP. PHONE CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE CAMP AS HE IS OUR TRUNK-LINE-RULERL.C - HAR. BUT THE TRUTH WAS THAT ARNE AND DARIUSZ HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE CAMP WHILE OLLI TRIED TO FOLLOW THEM. WE WORE BLACK STRAPS AS TARN-EQUIPMENT. HARHARHARL.C - WE DESTROYED THEIR BUILDINGS USING SOME SORT OF CAMP-TORTURE-ACID, WHICH WE GOT OUT OF WHAT DARIUSZ HAD VOMITTED BEFORE. WE NEEDED 4 TONS OF THAT STUFF, SO WE HAD TO HELP HIM DOING THIS JOBL.G - BUT WHAT WE DID NOT EXPECT WAS THAT ARNE ALSO CRACKED THOSE COMPUTERS AND WITH THIS DISGUSTING FLUID THEY WERE DISABLED. THEN WE GOT INTO THE HALL WHERE THE LANCE-ROCKETS AND SOME BIG VANS WITH CRANES STOOD AROUND AND THERE WERE EVEN SOME PEOPLE TO HELP US, WE THINK THERE WERE SOME FROM GREENPEACE. THOSE DUDES FROM G*P ELRK - GREENPEACE WERE ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAMP USING A VISITOR'S LICENSE, AFTER ALL THEY CAME FROM PLANET ALPHA CENTAURI AND THEIR TASK WAS TO ESTABLISH RESEARCHES ON HUMAN ATOMIC WEAPON-TECHNOLOGY. USING THEIR BEAM-TECHNOLOGY THEY HELPED US TO GET THE ROCKET ONTO THE VAN, BUT THE THING WAS THAT THEY HEARD FROM OUR MISSION TO EXTERMINATE JENS-CHRISTIAN HUUS AND HIS VIBRATOR-GANG, WHO WAS THEIR HATED JAZZ-GOD, BECAUSE ALL THE VIB-MEMS HAD TO SIGN A CONTRACT TO USE JCH'S STRINGS AND TO PRODUCE NIGGER-JAZZ-CRAP ONLY IN ORDER TO EXTERMINATE MANKIND. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE D2T HQ AT #D2T-D2T-CAMP ELRC - , OPPS? OLLI CRACKED THE ROCKET-ACCESS CODE WHICH WAS QUITE EASY TO CRACK BECAUSE IT WORKED WITH 2400+2600 HERTZ AND SO HE PROGRAMMED THE ROCKET TO THIS TARGET: JENS-CHRISTIAN HUUS, HOEGLEVAGSLAAN 51, 1234 HOEGLESMOEGLE DENMARK.L KHOUR TASK, VOLUNTAS DEI, WAS COMPLETED, FROM NOW ON -ONCE AND FOR ALL- THE DARK TIMES OF JAZZ WERE OVER AND D2T WERE FINALLY RECOGNIZED TO HAVE THE BEST EDITOR AND THE BEST DOODLE-DI-DADDLE MUSIC STYLE. AND SO, MANKIND WAS RESCUED FROM NIGGER-JAZZ-DICTATOR HUUS. D2T WERE WELCOMED BACK AS HEROS FROM THE BATTLE-SITE. THE DANGER WAS BANNED AND THE GERMAN BUNDE - STAG RELEASED A NEW LAW THAT JAZZ AND ANY NIGGER-CRAP WAS PROHIBITED FROM THEN. BUT THE LAST VIBRATORS STILL MEET IN BOMB-SAFE BUNKERS, WITH A NEW DICTATOR, LINKL. - DU LINKE SAU, DU! WIR KRIEGEN EUCH ALLET! - (TRANS 4 LAMERS LIKEL. - : WE'LL GETCHA ALL!)T - THE NEVERENDING STORY RESTARTS NOWL. - OLLI PHREAKS OUTL.
