Hey John…. (guess who)… remember DJJ? He wrote a nice little utility for me that does what you described. Takes one of the dealer demo sampled sound instruments (effects) and converts it to an instant music-readable instrument. Then you just stuff it into a correctly named subdir on DF1:, load up IM, tell it to get instruments from the SubDir (instructions are in the docs) and thar she be! I spent the better part of last saturday converting sound effects to instruments, testing them all, and then built two arc files (about 120K each) and uploading them onto that peoplelink place. This gives instant music owners/users the ability to play instruments that sound like pigs oinking, horses whinnying, alarm clocks ringing, resonant chimes, a GREAT minor organ chord that sounds like Phantom of the Opera, and about 6 others. Anyway, I did the dirty work, thanks to DJJ's efforts, so the file(s) are there for whoever wants them. NO OTHER converting, or fooling around needed once they're un-arc'd. BTW, I just spent an hour (read that $hour$) online here dumping 3 days worth of postings to peruse…. lotsa interesting stuff to be read. Did you read the bit about CBM capturing 3% of the business market? Wonder what the overall market pie slices would look like, afterall, 5 million C64's out there and they're still selling! Well, see ya 'round! HRL
