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?

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!

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, 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
