*NOTES

This is the second Diptera NSF pack.

"19-tet..." is a test of MML's direct frequency select function, which allows
the programmer to write any frequencies within the potential range. In this
brief example, I wrote a tune whose intervals stay within the microtonal
tuning system of 19-tone equal temperament (19-tet). The same example plays
in four different modes -- minor, subminor, major, and supermajor -- then
repeats. The system is based on the A = 440Hz standard. I created a chart
(attatchment hexnote-19tet.html) to help the cumbersome task of writing in
many hexidecimal numbers. I intend to compose a fully-developed NSF tune with
microtonal intervals. Perhaps there will be a convenient way to integrate
frequency-to-note-name assignments in FamiTracker ...

"2-Part No. 4" is another very short loop for two voices, like my earlier
"Canon From Planet Zebes" (2-Part No. 3).

I couldn't come up with a better name for "Sorazora". I often just think
of a random phrase for a name, and it sticks for good. Or bad, I don't know.
To the best of my knowledge, the word roughly means "various empty skies"
in Japanese. I just like languages.
