• Appleodion?

    From Jayson Smith@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 18 23:01:35 2022
    Hi,

    Just as a bit of historical interest, I'm looking for a good I.E. as
    close to the original as possible version of an ancient Apple II program
    called Appleodion. It's an Integer Basic program to create music, and
    the original cassette also came with three Bach fugues. There's a copy
    at https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/projects/cassettes/rainbowcomputing/ but
    it's in pretty bad shape. The quality of the audio on the tape is
    horrible, and it's obvious if you listen to it that one or more
    unfortunate events befell that poor tape before it was digitized. Does
    anyone know of a better copy floating around somewhere?

    I have a copy of Appleodion on a disk of music programs, but it's
    obviously not the pure original as it's been updated to load the Bach
    file from disk, whereas I assume the original was a purely
    cassette-based affair. The file of Bach fugues is also interesting, in
    that whereas the cassette copy linked above stops at a particular point,
    the copy I have on disk continues, but with obviously a bit of
    corruption because the octaves, etc. are all wrong, but you can tell
    it's trying to complete the third fugue. If anyone wants a copy of what
    I have so you can see what I'm talking about, I'd be happy to provide it.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks, those work. Do you know the history behind that particular tape?
    It has one piece of music which can be loaded into Appleodion, and let's
    just say whoever entered that particular music into Appleodion seemingly
    didn't know much in the way of music theory.

    Hi Jayson,
    The tape is the Japanese "backup copy" of the original Appleodion tape.
