- goofs up the clock? hmm, this never seems to happen to me. you must be

- I have a dss8. the hardware is quite nice (ie. it makes good quality
- samples), but the software lacks. the tracker has the capabilities of the
- original soundtracker command set, but is not compatible (they re-arrange
- the commands). the editor is neat in the way it is intuition-ized, but if
- you can't be bothered to run your machine in pal, use MED to compose, then
- use soundtracker or protracker to make sure the mod is in good shape.
