Hah, ALex PROMISED me to write a small text about it for the FAQ, but he STILL
(one year later??) didn't do it! FOEI!

I only have the replayer, and it is quite impressive. BTW, I do have the
manual of some part... But not the original disk... stupid, isn't it? ;-)
Anyway, this program could have been great. Unfortunately there is a drawback:
if you support all musical devices, what do you want to do as composer?
- make 4 different versions with the same program, adapted to the capabilities
of the chips? (too much work)
- make one version that uses the same kinds of instruments on all chips?
(sounds okay if you have only one or two of the devices, but sounds like shit
if you have all the supported chips by SME...)
- make one version that uses the chips to its capablities, so if you have e.g.
PSG+SCC+MSX Music+MSX AUdio, you can make a song for 26 channels or so?
(sounds okay if you have all chips, sounds crappy if you have only one or two:
half the voices are missing...)
I guess it will have to be a compromise between the 2nd and the 3rd option,
but then you might just as well use Moonblaster (would be nice if this one
supported PSG better, ofcourse) or SCC-Blaffer.
So, excpt that you can use the same environment for all your chips, what is
the use of such multi-chips programs?
Just a question....
