Mass Flow Controller was created on a 486/66 with SB-16 ASP MCD soundcard
somewhere in September 1995. I can't remember when I started it, but it was
finished on the 23 rd.
As far as I know, only Cubic 1.4 plays the modules as i want it to ... on
my computer, FT2 itself screws up tone portamento command :(

This module is the 20th in a series about the many different jobs on the
refinery. Together they constitute a music disk, called 'FinaDisk 1995'.
With this module the FinaDisk 1995 will be closed, as will be my stay at
Fina in a couple of days. Stay tuned for the next Bolleke modules from the
forthcoming 'Transition Music Disk' !
This module is my first FastTracker 2 module. I switched from ST3 to FT2
because of some of ST3's limitations : 8 bit samples < 64000 bytes. Maybe
it's just because I'm still used to working with ST3, maybo not, but *IMHO*
the FT2 interface needs a lot of improvement ! It doesn't support a Belgian
keyboard, the French keyboard emulation is not correct (still treats it as
a QWERTY keyboard), but the thing that drives me crazy is the constant
hassling around with your space and tab key to switch edit mode or switch
channels. I got this module erased twice because I clicked on its name in
the disk op section, and it simply loaded without warning the current module
wasn't saved yet. AND it requires a separate panning setting for each
separate note, otherwise it puts it in the middle. Why not a global channel
panning setting which can be changed at any row ? I simply hate it not being
able to combine a volume command, a panning setting and an effect. If FT2
would support global panning per channel as does ST3, this situation would
not occur. And why isn't there any text file for help function to print ?
Just always go looking around in the in-screen help text, scrolling only
with the mouse because arrow commands work on the song ... grrr. THIS
INTERFACE SIMPLY DRIVERS ME NUTS !!!! But I must admit sound quality is
much better due to unlimited 16 bit samples. Maybe I will make my songs
in ST3 and then reload them in FT2 with 16 bit samples and adjust the
appropriate commands. Otherwise ... I really like ST3 ...
Maybe you're wondering why I haven't released a new song in aboput a month ?
Inspiration doesn't come so quickly nowadays and maybe I have become a bit
more critical towards my own compositions. Furthermore I had to get to learn
FT2, and reconvert some of my samples. Unfortunately, since I have recently
installed Linux and spent some week's time at understanding the system and
still have to configure it properly, I repartitioned my hard drives and
forgot to back up my ST3 samples .... hehe :) No, I haven't forgotten to,
but probably a few weren't included my most recent backup :( So this explains
why this module has only one sample in it. I started the bass line and
installed Linux. And was left with only one sample <g>. And I also spent a
lot of time updating my WWW pages ...
Hereby I also announce a new Bolleke Music Productions World HQ :
The Velvet DemoSite
