2nd Difference
────────────────
Cybelius ...... Stuff
Hoplite ....... Code
Dune .......... Moral support
Phantom ....... Player
So I left Sonique (greets, guys!) right after it got paralyzed; nothing
was going on, so I got stuck in it. Me and Dune, we joined Ornage and at
least _I_ havent regret it!
"Sonic is officially dead"
- Burt, in Internet 24.09 1994
I guess Jaz, FTJ, Ranx and Phantom thinks that Sonic really isn't dead and
plans to do sumthing in the future. I wish you all my luck. Go for it! And
thanks for all the stuff back then, I enjoyed being soniquenne.
"All I wanna do, is have sum fun"
- Sheryl Crow
By now I still have done only one tune in sum specified purpose, ALKU4.MOD
for Delusion (yea, I guess it counts :(. I don't think Orange (or Sonic back
then) really need me; I'm no demomusician and I do too big tunes for intros.
It's because I get an idea for chords or a riff, I work it in and out, samp-
le the whole stuff together, add drums 'n strings - and see what happened!
The tune is >600 kb! Well, actually, Ship oh hip! was 913, but I resampled
the guitars down to err.. 14 khz or so, only because I hadn't enough of
basememory to use ST3!
I see no reason to go for any lower rate than 22 khz when Im once given the
chance. I'd do 44 khz or more if I just had more than 1408 kb RAM, and since
the tunes are only for the sake of music I make the files big, just as big
as they get when I make them as I intended to.
"Ripping is lame"
- Cybelius, on GSN back then
The drums in Toyshop are straight from Dune's Backto.mod, I just removed
the triol-speed-changes.
You> Why on earth did you do that? Don't you know how to do drums?
Cybelius> Bullseye.
* Cybelius is a lame tracker!
Also most of the strings in the tunes, such as Toyshop, Sticks and stones,
Bok goes east and Handiwork are Dune's too. And the snare in Bok goes
east. And the hihats in Handiwork. And - well - quite everything. Tnx.
Handiwork is scaring close to almost every Jamiroquai -tune, but anyway I
did write it myself, honestly. Yes i _DID_!
Sticks and stones attended a small party in Noormarkku, the Cadaver meeting
and came 9th! (received no prize though).
The tunes are included as separate files because I've found no played that
played the tunes right. Not even Trug "we-love-you" FC's MDP! See, when
a sample changes, GUS finds a free channel, starts playing the new sample
and _then_ turns off the old sample. Well, when a lot of samples change at
the same time (over 8 of them) there are no free channels on GUS, so this is
reflected in various things. MDP says "snap" or "crackle" or "pop" (just try
SHIP!.S3M ..). Phantoms player leaves one sample unchanged. What the others
exactly do, I dunno, but ST3 played quite fine. So please, after running the
album non-stop from beginning to end, please check out the tunes with ST3!
