- Hello all. I have an idea. Like many other people out there, I have
- 1/2 MB Chip, and therefore, I can't play mods larger than 300K if I'm lucky.
- What I propose is that we start a new song format, a music script if you will.
- I have a Hard Drive, and I've found that AGMS is awesome for IFF sample
- playback. If you put more than one samplename on the commandline, It'll
- play all the samples that you listed without any breaks inbetween the samples.
- What we could do is sample all of the bits 'o songs and then AGMS them back
- in the desired order. ie:
-
-
- 1> AGMS a.iff b.iff a.iff b.iff a.iff {etc..}
-
-
- I'll be uploading the song "Fingertips" by They Might Be Giants later today.
- I'll put it on wuarchive.wustl.edu and nic.funet.fi if net traffic isn't
- too bad.
-
- Just an idea. Tell me what you think!
