'Sound FX war ausserdem modular aufgebaut. Die eigentlich Musik-Abspielroutine befand sich in einer externen library (soundfx.library) und konnte dadurch von beliebig anderen Programmen genutzt werden. Natürlich gab es auch eine Library für Christian Webers GameExec welches in vielen Games als 'Betriebssystem' zum Einsatz kam.'
Trotzdem war Sound FX eines meiner wichtigsten Programme. Ohne dieses hätten diverse unserer Spiele (> 10 Stück) nicht den tollen Sound von Roman Werner.
“4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?”
I discovered Linel's SoundFX about a year before I saw Soundtracker (which I hated). The important difference between the two is that SoundFX let you use CIA timing so you could match breakbeats perfectly, where as Soundtracker had no concept of "BPM". I was trying to make house/dance tracks so I found SoundFX was better for that purpose. I later used Noisetracker for making more typical demoscene tracks (Noisetracker's pattern FX were far far superior to SoundFX's). Of course, when it came to implementing the playroutine into code - SoundFX sucked! (See Magnetic Fields Spaced Out 1 music disk to hear how my music DOESN'T work with the playroutine hack.) By the time ProTracker was released, you could choose CIA timing, so I started using that.
The king of trackers, as far as I'm concerned, was OctaMED for its synth sound editor. I spent so many happy hours making C64-sounding tunes using that (some are still available at Exotica's Special section.)
