Hi!
I've got a mistake to fix...

Well, it was my PC soundcard (PCI SoundBlaster) that did the clipping. I
blamed the MoonSound although it was not doing anything wrong...
The strange thing is that my soundcard clips around sample value 24000,
instead of 32767 as one would expect of a 16-bit sample. That's why I
thought the MoonSound did the clipping.
OK, a new MSX sound card trivia:
Did you know that Konami used 90 different SCC instruments in Solid Snake?
And it seems they can also mix instruments when playing, creating a new
waveform from two different source waveforms. This feature is not present
in any other Konami replayer I've ever seen.
Bye,
Maarten
