DIGITAL - FEEL THE VIBES!! -------------------------- WELCOME TO A SMALL INTRO WRITTEN TO ADVERTISE A FEW THINGS, GIVE SOME MESSAGES AND JUST LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE UP TO. BUT FIRST, THE CREDITS:- CODING BY..............SPOOK FONT BY................FLAME INTRO LOGO BY.........QUARTZ MUSIC BY.................YAZ THIS INTRO WAS CODED IN AROUND 6 HOURS ON A BORING SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. IN THIS 6 HOURS, EVERYTHING WAS CODED FROM SCRATCH!!!!! (EVEN THE ROUTINE TO CREATE THE BALL DATA WAS - BEFORE THIS INTRO, I HAD NEVER CODED A DOT-BALL). THE FONT IS 4 BITPLANES,THE ZOOMING DIGITAL LOGO IS 1 BITPLANE AND THE BOUNCING BALL CONTAINS 480 DOTS (OF WHICH, ABOUT 240 ARE VISIBLE) AND IT IS 8 HARDWARE SPRITES. (PRESS RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON)
RIPPED MUSIC DISKS ------------------ I (YAZ) RECENTLY RECEIVED A PHONECALL FROM DEXTER OF PLAGUE REGARDING A TUNE OF MINE THAT HE HAD SEEN IN THE RECENT RAPED MUSIC DISK BY SEPULTURA. A TUNE OF MINE CALLED "FOLK-SONG" HAD BEEN RELEASED ON THE DISK. THE MAJOR THING IS, HOWEVER, THAT THIS TUNE IS TO BE USED IN A FORTHCOMING DEMO BY LEXICON. THE VERSION RELEASED ON THE DISK WAS UNFINISHED AND SOMEHOW, SEPULTURA HAD MANAGED TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT!! ANYWAY, I MANAGED TO GET HOLD OF THE PHONE NO. FOR SHOCKWAVE SO I RANG HIM UP TO FIND OUT HOW THE HELL HE'D GOT A COPY. I WAS TOLD THAT HE'D GOT IT ON AN OLD SOURCE CODE DISK (ORIGIN ????) AND THAT HE THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY RELEASED. I TOLD HIM I'D BEEN TOLD THAT THE REPLAY ROUTINE WAS FUCKED UP AND THAT THE TUNE WASN'T PLAYING CORRECTLY. HE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY AND THAT HE'D CHECKED IT AND IT PLAYED CORRECTLY. (...CONTINUED)
ANYWAY, HE APOLOGISED FOR RELEASING IT AND I LEFT THE MATTER CLOSED. A FEW DAYS LATER, I RECEIVED THE DISK IN QUESTION THROUGH THE POST. I STUCK IT IN MY MACHINE AND LOADED UP MY TUNE "AAARRRGGGHH!!!! - WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE DONE TO MY TUNE!!!". HERE ARE A FEW OF THE THINGS WRONG WITH IT:- 1) NT 1 REPLAYER MEANS THAT ALL THE VIBRATOS ARE TWICE AS HIGH AS THEY SHOULD BE. 2) REPLAY ROUTINE CAUSES THE TUNE TO COMPLETELY STOP FOR 2 SECONDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON !! (IT DOESN'T DO IT IN MY VERSION!!!) 3) THE '6' COMMAND ISN'T AVAILABLE IN NT1, SO THE NOTES DRAG ON FOR AGES WHEN THEY SHOULD FADE OUT NICELY! AND ALL THESE MISTAKES ARE AFTER HE HAS CHECKED IT FOR MISTAKES!!!!! FUCK KNOWS HOW BAD IT WOULD HAVE SOUNDED IF HE HADN'T CHECKED IT!!!!! (...CONTINUED)
I ALSO LISTENED TO A NUMBER OF THE OTHER TUNES ON THE DISK, MOST OF WHICH DIDN'T PLAY PROPERLY EITHER. THIS JUST ILLUSTRATES THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN LAMERS RIP OFF OTHER PEOPLES MUSIC AND KNACKER IT UP. I NOW KNOW WHY IT IS THAT SEPULTURA CALL THEIR DISKS 'RAPED MUSIC' - THEY CERTAINLY FUCKED UP MY TUNE!!!!! I PERSONALLY HAVE NOTHING AGAINST RIPPED MUSIC DISKS - THEY ARE A GOOD ADVERTISMENT FOR YOUR MUSIC IF THEY SIMPLY FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:- 1) DON'T ASSUME THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TUNE THAT IT'S RELEASED! MANY MUSICIANS SEND PREVIEWS OF THEIR MUSIC TO CONTACTS WHEN THEY'RE UNFINISHED. IF YOU HAVEN'T RIPPED IT FROM A DEMO (AND YOU HADN'T, HAD YOU, SHOCKWAVE?!) THEN DON'T RELEASE IT! 2) FOR GODS SAKE USE THE RIGHT PLAY ROUTINE OR THE MUSIC WILL SOUND TOTALLY FUCKED UP! (AS MINE DID!). IF YOU'RE NOT SURE THEN DOUBLE CHECK! (...CONTINUED)
ANYWAY, I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO PICK ON ONE GROUP IN PARTICULAR WHEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE SEEN AS A FUCKING TO SEPULTURA, THEY WERE MERELY THE CULPRITS ON THIS OCCASION (SO NO HARD FEELINGS GUYZ!). THE MORAL TO RIPPERS IS - BE MORE CAREFUL! COZ IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I'LL CODE SOMETHING MYSELF TO SAY IT !!!! - YAZ OF DIGITAL -
