I certainly have. And every time I say it starts with the same preset rhythm from a Roland CR78. And Mr Collins ( who I was and still am a big fan of ) used the original Roland unit, whereas I emulated it using single cycle waveforms in around 6 bytes of ROM data.

It would probably be more fun to watch me pick apart my own compositions and mixes. Even now decades later, I listen back to some stuff and think I should have, or why didn't I Ultimately, I simply ran out of time during development

It's a great idea, I think I'd ruin the concept 🤣

Great idea !! However: I'm quite analytical and therefore quite dry with responses . I'm not sure you'd see dramatic or exaggerated reactions. I'm not usually one to be demonstrable about anything until I've had time to percolate it and consider it properly. Watching paint dry might be more fun 🤩

Stuff !! Working on stuff. 😅 It's NDA Non Disclosure Agreement As composers / developers, we sign these to protect the project and companies we work for. So I can't tell anyone anything until these projects become public domain.

I still think of it as "The Mines or The Mining Level". I never name the tracks for the CD's or release.
