Hi Mods Freaks!
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


              Here is a nice goodie for your mods-collection:


 The complete version of the great Hardwired tune by Jesper Kyd / Silents!
                   (Originally composed in October 1991)


     Indeed, the module everybody knows, the one that can be extracted
        from the demo, is NOT 100% corresponding to the long music
            we can hear in the demo itself, when it is running!

           There are, actually, 127 *NEW* positions to be played
                         before the tune we know.


 We found this out, with my friend TNO, last night, after he told me that
  "the introduction of the tune was missing"... but actually, it was not
             *JUST* the introduction, but 127 other positions!

  We managed to find these additional positions in memory, after freezing
      the demo (I had to launch it on my old A500 to make it run ;-)
          and we were really amazed that *127* new pos had to be
                        re-inserted in the module!!

            Protracker format doesn't allow 254 positions! :-)


  But, fortunately, we noticed that nearly all patterns were looped 2, 3,
        or 4 times; that allowed us to save some positions by using
                          the E6x command (loop).

        Additionally, we had to shrink some patterns thanks to the
 'Contract track' function in Protracker (without losing any note/effect,
           don't worry) that allowed us to put 2 patterns in 1.
                          (this, several times.)

   And then, we managed to group together the 254 'original' positions,
              in the 127 possible for the Protracker format!



    This took us more than 5 hours (from 2 AM to 7 AM :) ) to do this!

       The music now lasts 11 minutes 03 seconds (5'41s were added).

           This is the REAL music that you can hear in the demo.



    We hope that at least some of you will enjoy this long version! ;)


                  Bye for now,


                                     Gryzor & TNO, 24-Nov-96.
