25 Years Cascade
Author: Zeldin - written on 25.07.2013
Happy birthday!!! Cascade was found in April 1988 (read trivia for more info) and so this makes it a fourth of a century old. We planned to celebrate this with a little, sweet demo. It would have contained the graphics you see on the right (more info about it here). But we sadly failed, due to time intensive real life things. We already missed the 20 years celebration demo and together with lots of other failed projects, all the unfinished parts, routines, graphics and stuff are slowly filling more an more disks in our boxes. Anyway... we are still around, and one day we will even manage to pull out a demo again, I am sure. In the meantime you might enjoy the shown no-border graphic, made for the jubilee.
Now a short message to all current or former Cascade members: Wherever you are, to which coast of life you got drifted, I want to send you my warm hearted greetings and all my love. Feel honoured, that you have been (or still are) part of a project, that was started as a simple hobby of some young lads - unprofessional, non-commercial, not lifestyle driven and not guided by any political or industrial elites - and still it exists after 25 years! I feel very proud of that and so should you!

04.05.2026 - Amiga Floppy Drive Audio - How it Works - video by 'RobSmithDev'
For this years Revision 2026 Rob entered something a little odd into the Wild category. He essentially built a sound card connected to the floppy drive port, which has some interesting advantages over things like the parallel port. Aside from that, this was just for fun, there's no plan to make this into an actual product.

01.05.2026 - Microtonal SID Music? Angine de Poitrine Bassline in C64 BASIC - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Angine de Poitrine's microtonal math rock has taken Youtube by storm. Some SID covers of their music prompted the question: can the SID actually play microtonal music? Some say "no", but we'll prove them wrong by recreating the bassline from AdP's song "Sarniezz" in humble Commodore 64 BASIC. We'll learn some music theory along the way, such as what A440 and "standard tuning" mean, along with "equal temperament", 24TET, along with some C64 theory such as the differences between PAL and NTSC when it comes to SID tuning, and a lot more.
