- Hmmm.. I havn't thought about using the PSG, that's a great idea! I always loved
- the music in the games on my 1040STFM, NOT. ;-))
- You still can make some cool soundeffects using the PSG in the correct way.

- Hmmm... I have heard that the game 'Killing Impact' have great music and sound using
- waveforms insteed of samples and uses 20 channels of sound.
- Why havn't anyone done a tracker or sequenser using waveforms for the falcon?

- No Sebbe, we would love some PSG music. :-)))

- Yup. :-)
