That could help but wouldn't solve the problem. I agree this is a complicated matter, but many times, as I said, the root note the sample is on doesn't necessarily mean it's actually that note, for example in breaks. Also, if you have a bunch of equally detuned notes, yu may never realize your mistake unless you have pitch perfect hearing. I bet a load of people back then just got samples from external sources and used them, regardless of what notes those were.

Topic: FS: Clear Play It Loud with modifications (1 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Hey guys,
As money is tight I will be letting this bad boy go, as I don't give any use to it anyway.
Up for sale is this Clear Play It Loud DMG, with:
- Clear directional, A and B buttons and clear power switch. This is one really clear DMG
- 3.5" miniplug post-pot Prosound jack (and both the original headphone plug and the internal speaker have been kept intact and functioning too)
- KITSCH BENT LEDx3 vB backlight module (just installed it today). NOT INVERTED. It still has the original polarization film, so it looks really good.
- Underclock mod done by GIJS GIESKES (the master himself, yes)
The only thing this unit is missing is the power LED. Why? Because this unit used to have a home made sidelight (you know, backlight modules didn't exist 4 years ago) and for that to happen you had to remove the power LED. I didnt keep it so today when I installed the new backlight, the unit has been left without the power LED. Other than that, everything is perfect. The screen is perfect with no lines missing or anything. The case has some fair use scuffs, remember this item isn't new.
I got it 4 years ago and haven't used it much, except when I needed an underclocked unit (and I only have one underclocked song, so that's how much I have used it). It looks great now with the new Kitsch-Bent backlight module and the clear buttons. It's one unit I would keep if I could!
About underclocking: screen goes flickery when you underclock. This is completely normal. Also, if you switch while playing, some times it crashes. Usually not, but I gotta say, try to switch it before you start playing a tune in LSDJ, not while it's playing. Here's a test anyway (as I dont care about corrupting memory):
(Volume is really low on this video, sorry)
I am looking for 90 GBP+shipping ONO. Inside the UK, it's about 3 pounds to ship it.
Payment to be done by Paypal exclusively, fees paid by buyer or money sent as gift, your choice.

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I think it "did", I mean, the sample has a specific sample rate in Hertz and this should tell you which note it was sampled at. This doesn't mean the sample plays at that note, though... I could sample a C-2 in F#3 if I wanted to (and that would be a massive mindfuck, but it's possible)

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I just thought of something, David...
When Chipsounds loads an IFF file or IFF files from a MOD... In which note does it assume the samples go? Because in the world of Amiga samples, a lot of times, samples are not landing in C, but rather in other places. For example, breaks or loops usually are recorded at the maximum note possible for best sampling rate (F#3 if I am not mistaken).
Of course this is a major problem with most Amiga samples, and one I thought would be worth addressing, otherwise Chipsounds could be detuned compared to other VSTis you can use alongside it.

People here need to work in the "creative" business to realize how common place, how everyday's fare this is.
Have a good look around you and you will start to find a lot more "copies" of other things, basically most of what you are delivered is probably a copy of something else.
By the way, "Happy Birthday", as Wikipedia says, is a combination of a melody made by someone with the lyrics made by someone else. And the people who grabbed the original tune and added lyrics, copyrighted that to themselves. Isn't that fucked up? But they got away with it. They even managed to register it as their own, even though the melody was composed by someone else. With this I want to say that laws are fucked up and one has to be careful and know a lot (or get really great counselling) before diving nose-in into a legal issue, specially with a media giant. This sort of shit usually means a LOAD of trouble for the "little people".

Re: Adlib Tracker II 2.4.0 and SDL (33 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
This sounds very interesting!
Is it supposed to be working like a VST plug in any DAW as well?
No, this is stand-alone software to be used in either old PC computers running DOS, it's not a VSTi. The MIDI capabilities come as you plug a MIDI interface onto your old DOS computer.

Re: anamanaguchi ripoff in disney commercial. (152 replies, posted in General Discussion)
i dont really hear a carbon copy rip off myself.
Same here. As it is undeniably true that this piece has been, let's say, "heavily inspired" on Anamanaguchi's track, there is absolutely no grounds for legal action, at all.
But the cheaptoon sk3n3 has to get up in hemorrhoidal pain as usual.
Timberland plain ripped off a tune, that's totally different.

Re: Adlib Tracker II 2.4.0 and SDL (33 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
I suppose Screamtracker works like Impulse Tracker a bit.
So even if you don't have the Blaster environment setup (classic example is 'SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1', you can type it at the commandline if you don't have it in autoexec.bat), you can force it to look for a card with commandline patterns. You might also need a sound driver to be loaded. Check out my thread titled "adlib file repository" and see if it can help you. I couldnt get anything to work until I installed Soundblaster drivers. If your card really is SB compatible, original SB drivers from Creative should work.

i dunno what SDL is or if it's installed or not. I'm just a funny guy on the internet.
No, you just downloaded the WRONG file from the link provided, as your screenshot shows ;P
You need:
at2-2.4.00-SDL-win32-dos32_beta_06172012.zip
Not:
at2-2.4.00.zip
(which you downloaded twice)

Re: Adlib Tracker II 2.4.0 and SDL (33 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
You're running it in a command window of whatever dimensions,dude. It's not going to display correctly that way if what you are using is version 2.4.0. It's not MEANT to be used like that
The SDL version runs perfectly by using it how you are SUPPOSED to use it: Doubleclicking the icon and letting it open its own window.
2.4.0 non SDL is for our old computers/DOSbox/virtualization.
