Inkey$/Drukqs

I know there were a lot of theories flying around when
drukqs was released about it being old tracks/the mp3 player
etc. I sort of mentally wrote it off as untrue, that it was
really just a new album. However, on listening to inkey$
last night, I noticed something decidely drukqs-like in the
composition as well as a few of the sounds used.

Comments?

Hmmm, i think you might be on to something but i really gave
up caring about it a long time ago.

like in 54 cymru beats there is this break loop he uses
other times too!! and the voice sample from equation!! and
samples from videogames that appear on come to daddy and
caustic window also!! :D j/k

when you think about it he always recycled his
sounds/samples, but to go from there to say the mp3 story is
true is another thing, one i can't believe! :p

It is true that Skink doesn't care, but not funny.

i would say that he wrote inkey$ around the same time that
drukqs got released, meaning he wrote a song from the future
but it got released in the past, thus crashing the time
space continuum and forever fucking up the whole idm
technology of sound theory! that spunky afx!

me. like the end of bucephalus bouncing ball.

thank you for being socially retarded again elusive!

inkey$ and PEEK.. as far as i know inkey$ contains the last
pressed key on your keyboard in BASIC..

PEEK might be a qbasic command too but im not sure.

I dunno about the commodore, but I remember it on the
speccy. Pronounced "inky string" (or "in key string").

The RDJ Album and girl/boy ep (as well as some of the drukqs
packaging if I remember correctly) has spectrum keys on it,
so it may well be from that.

JAroen: Yes, PEEK was another one. I forget the specifics,
but it was often used in conjunction with POKE (which
"blanked" a given line of code, e.g. "POKE 3450" would skip
line 3450) as a way of entering cheats.

I know Jand used to use a speccy a lot. Any other old
spec-chums here?

PEEK and POKE where/are used to read and write values into
memory, not skip lines of code. Hence to gain extra lives
in games you'd POKE in a new value in memory defining how
many lives the player started with, or change the amount of
lives taken off when the player dies (ie change it to 0).

yeah haha, after posting that i looked up my old qbasic
thing just to check

Yeah, PEEK was used to look at a data value, and POKe would
place data in memory.
E.G. PEEK 134 = look at data in mem location 134
POKE 543 = put data into that location, of course you would
have to specify the data, the syntax varies, and some
mahcines you could do bit wise, others were done on bytes,
etc. e.g. poke 543, 23 put 23 into address 543.

Inkey$ is used to scan the keyboard. IN=input KEY=keyboard
$=string. the keyboard input is put into a buffer then
reading inkey$ reads the buffer.
e.g. press any key to continue...
if inkey$<>"" then blah

good old 8bit days. I had/have an amstrad cpc6128. with
128Kb RAM :P
