How a 64k intro is made (2017)
back to lofibucket.com The demoscene is about producing cool real time works (as in “runs on your computer”) called demos. Some demos are really small, say 64 kilobytes or less, and these are called intros.

I didn’t want to use any ready made synthesizer but I also knew from earlier failed experiments that making my own virtual instrument would be a lot work. I used Windows’ built-in gm.dls MIDI soundbank file (again, a classic trick) to make a song with MilkyTracker in XM module format.
