The Bass State
--------------
Back to the usual ... After my odd and unexplained attempt at a 4 <shudder>
track module, I'm back with my usual ambient type stuff. But this one is a
little different from the others ....
It's 9-BIT! And I think thats a first for OctaMED, since its only an 8-bit
editor. It was easy to do ...
OctaMED usually halves the samples' amplitude so as not to stuff them up when
playing in 8-track mode. So, I told it not to halve them (You have a choice).
Halving them reduces them to 7-bit on their own, and 8-bit when played together.
So not halving them results in 9-bit, and _a lot_ less noise.
The song goes for about 6 minutes, and has a few small bugs in it, because
editing in 9-bit requires going back and forward from DeliTracker to see what I
have just done (a real pain).
Anyway, thats about all the action I will get out of OctaMED I'm afraid .. Im
pushing it to the limit.
* When I first uploaded this song, there was another bit on the end which I
hated. I deleted that and reuploaded it.
* I have uploaded the song AGAIN. I hope this doesn't stuff up aminet :). More
bug fixes, and I am more or less happy with it. Total time it took to write: 22
Hours (PHEW!).

Incedentally, this mod will *ONLY PLAY IN DELITRACKER* because of the odd things
I have done to get the highest possible quality.
If you don't want to install DeliTracker then you can play it roughly (volumes
stuff up a bit) in OctaMED by loading it, selecting "Options/4Channel", then
"Options/8Channel", then "YES" when it asks if you want to halve the samples. If
you have an '020+ then select the "Options/HQ" mode as well.

Anyway ... The list of greets is getting too long :). You know who you are.
More info? This took me 22 hours to write, and the samples were taken from
kosmic.wit.com (KFMF Music archive) (except for the beat samples, I did those).
That was because I happily deleted my samples during a re-partition without
realising for ages what I had done :(. <Sigh> Oh well ...
You can now finally contact me by email:
sgilbert@attic.apana.org.au
To all those that mailed me at my old address, I apologise for not responding;
that account was closed before I could reply :(. This address should get a
response within a day. Feel free to write to me for any reason. If only to say
hello, and that you actually listen to my music.

Hello to Jules, who gets a kick out of reading this useless garbage.
