Negativity for which you have NO ONE to blame but yourself. Your reputation
for immature, childish behavior has quietly attained the status of legend on
the other networks. The day you stop treating us like IRC fanboys, you'll
start getting some respect back. (Well, maybe the week.) (ok, the month...)

'Revolutionary'? I take it you learned something from ShellPlay then. Self
synchronizing free run players are not a difficult concept. Steve Gunn (the
guy who wrote Ensoniq Peeker) had sample source for it at KansasFest.

What, you mean MZ doesn't just replicate the sample a few times and adjust
the resolution and frequency to compensate? Assuming you still get reasonable
values to put in the DOC registers and the sample itself is OK, there's no
reason that wouldn't work.
