A neat resource for beginners to check out when getting into the world of digital music production.

Johann, from the Renoise forum, was so kind as to render all the BeatBattle 5 songs to OGG Vorbis. This pack is a lot smaller than the older mp3 pack which it replaces.

• BeatBattle 5 OGG Pack [171 MB]

There is also an OGG Vorbis stream. Doesn’t work in all players, but it was succesfully tested in VLC and foobar2000 (not seekable).

• BeatBattle 5 OGG Stream

The xrns pack contains the original BeatBattle 5 modules that have to be loaded into Renoise. The main benefit of this pack is that you can see inside the songs to see how they have been created, but besides that, it takes less than half the size of the mp3 pack.

• BeatBattle 5 XRNS Pack [160 MB]

We would like to know what you think of the songs, especially if you did not participate. Thanks!
