Nope it's not for background music, I was just arseing around on
Sunday afternoon with a large scrolling alien thingy and I thought it
would be fun to stick some sounds on to go with it and having just
sussed out how to get the Yaroze singing that week I wanted an outlet
for my new found skills.  What I've been doing is to take samples off
of a music CD which get captured in .WAV format and use them on the
Yaroze.  As it happens splitting them up gets an even groovier effect
as they are played at random so in effect you get random bits of
sound.

For anyone who's interested I've knocked up a quick and dirty sound
tutorial on my web page as I did go through some pain in getting it to
work and hopefully it'll help others avoid it ! You can find it under
the 'help' button.

Richard.
