Hi back...

I talked about chances, not obstacles ;)

Hmmm, do you also like it eh? :-)

> Is it uploaded somewhere?

Of course. You'll find it at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm/plus4/Tools/Music/Music Converters.d64.gz
(if it is the same disk I uploaded once) and you can download it by the same method I mentioned (maybe first you should send a letter to w3mail@gmd.de with the 'help' command in the body, to see how it works).

I started to make 1.6 with a new, faster and smaller frq-value converter function. The same, I haven't finished (lost interest).

Not that one, but I know it from the other demos you mentioned.

Since it stored the pure ff0e-ff12 values in the memory for each cycles,
it was really fast. But it was also memory-consuming and voiced poor.

At least, me not. But maybe, he just modified a converter to generate a table from the resulting ff0e-ff12 values, and wrote a small routine which plays this back. So you can also do it, with any regular frq type mconvert.

Heh, it's just question of styles. My favourite is still Winter Events.
And maybe, Tutti Frutti... Icicle Works...
