Choose - Logical (AMI, C64)
| Choose | ||||||
| ||||||
Choose plays over two different pre-game screens of Logical.
Logical (AST) and Logical (DOS) use songs by other composers.
Title
Several filenames exist:
- Amiga game disk: CHOOSE.OPT, smpl.Logical-Choosemusic
- Stember's own Amiga rip: Choose.mdat, Choose.smpl
- Stember's own C64 rip: Logical Select
The original C64 game disk has no filenames.
Composition
The VGMPF currently sorts both arrangements alphabetically by platform. Which was made first is unknown. The Amiga one may have been released slightly earlier.
The differences are extremely minor, such as one tom more or less in the intro and one chord at a different beat.

The Amiga game uses Stember's music as intended: Choose plays over the main menu, whereas the title screen shows off its own song.
For recording, the main menu was watched in WinUAE 3.6.1 with NTSC off and stereo separation 100%.

Choose plays over the title screen, whereas the main menu remains silent. The intended title song was never published.
Stember arranged using Soundmaster v3.1 as usual. The driver was modified by some Cyberstyle groupmate in 1989 to fade every song in. Since Soundmaster v3.1 never supported looping at an arbitrary position, Stember copy-pasted the looping block nine times, hence the intro returns after 14 minutes (without fade-in, but with a decaying bass).
The bass sounds different on every machine because it uses SID's unstable low-pass filter. The recording was made in VICE 3.2 with C64 PAL and a bias of -400, but is planned to be remade in VICE 3.9 with bias -20 and additionally on a common 8580. It still is unconfirmed how close it is to the SID chip Stember arranged this song on. In the rip, it is track 1.
