TIMGUL: The International Music Generator Users Lounge
October 31st, 1998: Codemasters releases in Europe a software developed by Jester Interactive called "Music: Music Creation For The Playstation". The year after, a new version with new features and more versatility is released worldwide, as "Music 2000" in Europe and "MTV Music Generator" in North America. It is considered by many as the most innovative thing ever made for consoles at the time, allowing everyone, no matter their budget, to make their own music without having to buy studio equipments or instruments. As an awnser to this success (and the limited Playstation memory), a new software in the series is released in 2001 on the Playstation 2: "MTV Music Generator 2", featuring more samples, more sound channels and more features under less limited memory.

2002 marks the beginning of the decline of the Music series starting with Jester Interactive ending its relationship business with Codemasters, forcing them to find a new developper for "MTV Music Generator 3", which will only be released 3 years after. Meanwhile, Jester releases GameBoy Color and Advance versions of their music softwares and an enhanced version of the PC version of "Music 2000". In 2003 they also releases "Music 3000" (published in 2004 in North America by XSGames as Digital hitz Factory). In 2004, Codemasters does the final release with "MTV Music Generator 3: This Is The Remix" on their side, developed by the now defunct MixMax company. The softwares these companies released since 2002 didn't met expectations from most fans of "Music 2000" and "MTV Music Generator 2", which have always been considered as the two best softwares in the series, even with the larger amount of samples and note editing effects and filters in "Music 3000", and the last software of the series, which isn't really part of that series, being from a different developper, wears its title very well, which tarnishes the series reputations afterward and no new softwares are released afterward.

Over the years come out much more professional and up to date music creation programs, but MTV Music Generator series still haven't been forgotten and continues being used by many people, all scattered all across the internet.

On October 29th, 2007, in order to regroup the community together, TIMGUL, The International Music Generator Users Lounge, opens its door. Even these 3 years since the "death" of this software series, the MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 community has been still kicking and still does, people now being allowed to share their work much more easily and get help, find tutorials, help and inspiration and the music is getting better and better, sometimes rivaling some songs made with today's professional sequencers.

xx 2 haters using Music 2000, potential threat to the community
November 10, 2008, 03:56:58 AM by DJ Omnimaga
I noticed the Youtube Hall Of Shame topic was deleted since it was posted during the database rollback in October, but I would like to warn people about two potential haters on Youtube. Both are different from other haters in the way that they both use Music 2000, meaning they will not bash you for using Music 2000 but unlike the 190-200 Music generator series users on this board as well as the other additional 100+ on Youtube, Dehmier and Kallaye will not hesitate to diss everyone's work, even if load of time was put into it. Both have made their own good tracks, but to be honest, while they're good, they're not at a higher level than TIMGUL users in average. They're just good, like a lot of people here. However, they totally lack the good manners pretty much every other Music 2000 users have toward other people who make music for free:

Dehmier:
-Will diss the person's work based on his own musical tastes, no matter how much work was put in the song. If he likes your song, you're safe. Else, prepare for a derogatory comment toward your hard work. Altough generally his comments will be slightly less harsh than Kallaye's, the following point will happen:
-If you pm him complaining about his attitude he'll tell you you overeact and that he just gave his honest thoughts about the songs and that he no longer want to ever deal with you, then he will block you and then the following will happen:
-Once you got a problem with his comments and blocked him, he will not hesitate to call you names in other people's videos you comment in (see picture attached to this post for a blatant example, or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8wA5BGiQeE providing the user won,t delete the comment)

Kallaye1 (UPDATE (11/16/08) Note that this issue is pretty much resolved, as there are proof that this member stopped doing the following. However the information will remain as further reference about what to not do to prevent such forum topic to happen in retaliation)
-He appears to diss people based on their musical tastes too, noticing on almost every DnB videos he posted good comments. But it wasn,t the case for my trance videos. Unlike Dehmier he'll usually throw insults as well such as "This is too bad, go home xlibman!!!" and if you decide to comment back he'll send you some hate message via PM claiming he's no hater. Yet he will still continue dissing his work and brag about how his work is much better and last about 20 minutes long a song, while in fact, despite being good, his songs last the usual lenght of electronic music and not be much better than stuff by Pillage, Quade, etc...
-I did not got any further trouble with this user besides hate comments and hate mail. No comments against me via other people videos (yet)

As for now I got the first user blocked on Youtube. Just to tell you, if these two users ever sign up on these boards and start posting hate comments or causing shit, I'm banning their username, e-mail and hostname. If you find a bad comment by them I recommend you let them know your say via video comments or even PM/user channel if you desire and block them now. They will not destroy our alerady small community of courteous users. When criticizing people work people should have good manner. It only take a few trolls to kill a community as small as the Music Generator series. One hater would suffice to do it if nothing was done about it.

It's unneccessary to bash people work with throwing insults and without providing any suggestions. There's a big difference between flaming and constructive criticism. Also, while they may not ruin their reputation among Youtube users, they might ruin their reputation as a Music 2000 user. You may be good at Music 2000, you may make good songs with it, but at least RESPECT others! We alerady got to deal with FL Studio fanboys who bash everything made with Cubase, Reason and Music X000 during summertime.

xx Portal mod added
November 02, 2008, 09:39:30 AM by DJ Omnimaga
I added a portal mod to the website to put some emphasis on the news section of the website and make it look more like it's not only a messageboard. There might be some other changes in the future so stay tuned Smiley

xx TIMGUL Rave Mix, Volume 5 out!
November 01, 2008, 04:46:14 AM by DJ Omnimaga
As you could read in the previous news article posted yesterday, it was the 10th anniversary of the Music series on this Halloween. To celebrate this, in addition to the video mentionned, a new TIMGUL mix has been made. Timgul Rave Mix Volume 5 is similar in style to the 4 previous mixes, but like the 3rd one, Mix 5 doesn't feature any hardcore and drum and bass. Due to the increasing activity on TIMGUL website, the forums having broken the 1000 posts in a month milestone for the first time in one year, it has come to my decision for Mix 5 to do a mix of house, eurodance, italo-disco and trance music only, then release a mix of trance, uk hardcore and drum and bass at a later date. Basically right now it alternates between a non-hardcore mix and a mix of everything, but more hardcore and DnB than the two first mixes. The song selection was very hard to make this time and squishing everything together as well but it finally came out with the following mix. This is the first mix to feature a MTV Music Generator 3 song (track 11) and the second mix to feature a track not from TIMGUL website (track Cool
