Cram It by raina / CoolPHat It started as a fun little project to fit a full length module in 8kB. It had to be small but it also had to sound good. Well, you decide if it's any good, I myself am quite pleased. But little did I know how much tweaking and different versions still had to be done once i was finished with the original module. I offered the module to CoaXCable and a decision was made to use it in a TSRh cracktro coded by Uttumuttu. The cracktro used fmod, so i had to rewrite the arpeggios to behave correctly with it. I also made a BASS/XMPlay version with the original arpeggios but with a finetune correction so I could include the module on playlists. When the cracktro was ready and I was testing it I soon found out that it was too short and the last part of the song (with the arpeggios) was cut. I wanted all the parts in so I made a shortened version for the cracktro. First an FT2 only version, then the fmod one. I also noticed at this stage, that there was AN UNUSED PATTERN in the friggin' module! After I worked so hard to stick to the 8192B limit and had compromised some of the ideas I had for the last part! It would have been so much easier if I'd noticed the lurking pattern before. Finally I made a one pattern loop of the middle part sequence that is not meant to be played in any tracker or player! The purpose of this was only to create a gif animation with actual trackdata scrolling upward endlessly. Used it on my website :) The result of all this is an almost ridiculous number of modules and here's a quick guide around them: cramit.xm The original long version. To be played only on Fasttracker 2. crambass.xm Finetunes adjusted for BASS sound system / XMPlay by Ian Luck. cramfmod.xm The too long would-be cracktro version. Fmod arpeggios. cramfake.xm Don't listen. Merely watch. The gif animation version. cram it intro.ft2.xm Shortened version. Play with Fasttracker 2. cram it intro.FiNAL.xm The FiNAL cracktro version. Fmod arpeggios. Hope this set some light on the matter that has caused you countless of sleepless nights :) Bye! /raina
