about

*1st Place 48k tracker module Format*

Incredible, you've obtained the trade secret that is the source code of every Doors operating system and IndirectY SDK from Macrohard without getting caught by security.

With this incredible steal (actually copy), you should be able to give the Curvux distro camp the ability to reverse-engineer everything Macrohard and perhaps give the people more choice with what they operating environment they want to have on their machine.

Now that sounds incredible and uplifting and all, but uhm..
....Shit, you're on the 40th floor of the Macrohard skyscraper.

Good luck.

~ END OF 2ND PERSON FLAVOR STORY ~

This is my first foray into doing tiny module music.

Since I forgot to back-up my sample pack ISOs to this borrowed craptop I'm returning tomorrow, I decided to just sample the Audacity raw data imports of a bunch of .exe files in the System32 folder of the machine.

For your interest, the .exe files whose data was imported for sampling are:

explorer.exe - First melody brass
Bubbles.scr - The bass present throughout the whole song
dpiscaling.exe - Second melody flugel-like horn
Ribbons.scr - The (really nice) kicks
spoolsv.exe - Third melody crunchy distortion brass and a crash-like sound at pattern 14
sethc.exe - Hihats

All were converted to unsigned 8-bit PCM except for explorer.exe (which used signed 8-bit)

So yeah, is the idea ridiculous? Yes.
Was it worth it? Maybe.
Hotel? Trivago.

(For your interest, RaSta is just another alias I go by that I accidentally forgot to change, whoops!)
