imply.

It's brilliant!
I wholeheartedly agree... especially as somehow it manages to play samples
back (but not Modplayer stuff).
:)
There's something decidedly weird with the sound emulation though - NT 4
shouldn't have those problems (ST_SOUND works fine, y'see).
The sound emulation
I did notice that my MegaBlast and Star Trek demos sound MUCH better on
WinCoupe than on a real SAM, which is kind of strange :)

Hennyway, try the version of saasound.dll that's at
http://www.geocities.com/stripwax/saasound.zip
With a bit of luck the (new! improved! well, ok, a big
dll will still provide 16 levels == 4 bit (rather than 3-bit) sound
resolution for samples)
And other examples like that.

Really?? The docs do imply that you can play envelopes in either a 3-bit
or 4-bit mode -

Just careful line and cycle counter timing for the gap between each out, and
calls to Dave superb sound DLL to generate the data itself. I'd already
done the video generation using the same sort of method so it wasn't too
