This tool-assisted education video demonstrates how to create a simple song using Scream Tracker 3 for MS-DOS with nothing but FM synthesis for the instruments. The parameters for the instruments are written from scratch, too; the only disk files loaded are the ST3 executable and its configuration file.

I composed the tune sometime in 2000, so the creative process is unfortunately not shown in this video. You will still see the general idea on how to do it, though.

Note: This is the 6th reupload of the same video. I had a lot of failed attempts in trying to get Youtube to show the video at proper FPS. For some reason, Youtube insisted on going about 200 % too fast. Re-encoding into MKV format finally did it. Now it has an unexplained long delay in the very end when the video has already ended, but I can live with that problem.
