I forgot to mention Soundtracker, 1987, as an example too.
Yes, that ALL mods used the same samples in the first 2 years, can be seen as bad, BUT having the ST-01 to ST-07 disks, enabled a whole generation of mod trackers, to start their careers. Without swapping sample disks, only those few with a synth and a sampler could have made anything. |

I have some old tunes that aren't released, from when i was learning to use SDI in 1998. Some of these tunes have sounds, that I could use in new tunes..
So i write them down on paper, and enter them into the new tune.. :) |

It does, but I don't use it at all as I really can't see the point. I compare it with the process of mixing. You won't use a bassdrum that occupies the same freq range as the bass, no? It's all about making stuff fit and sit well in the 'mix' - that counts (to a certain degree) for sid music aswell.
Also, I can't see what's so hard about learning how pulse and filter stuff works. Use wikipedia and read it up. After that grab your favourite tracker's doc and see how to apply it to your table, et voila. I think it's solely an attitude problem :) Don't get me wrong, I am not throwing bricks at anybody, but saying it's rock science is just bullshit. The sid *is* simple compared to more sophisticated synths. |

Yes yes.. but i think its completely stupid to enter the same 10 bytes a million times, to make the same drum or bass or whatever you want. its better, if you know what you need, that you can load it from a sound library. |

Having Saving and Loading instruments in the next SDI version will not be a problem to program. If there's enough memory left we can implement it.
When writing a new song I prefer creating instruments from scratch. I feel that gives me better control on what I am working on. But I can understand the value of having a load/save instrument... so it's in the to do list.
Clearing memory can be done by loading the file named "Empty All".. that will also reset all music data to default settings. And turn all voices off for all subtunes.

Loading/saving instruments in my eyes are good for ones who are either just learning how to compose, or are too lazy to make their own ... harsh words I guess, but the truth hurts.
There is some limit though... for example, saving instruments that use 2/3 voices to make vocal/ring effects. Unless such editor is that intelligent to save instruments using multiple voices (which none of them don't so far) it would be difficult to keep a back-up of these for every song you compose. |
