I tried to make the assembly driver for ModPlay 2.19B for use with
Sound Blaster Pro. The problem was that I was unable to do stereo D/A
in direct mode. I just don't work. I have asked about this in some
newsgroups, but I don't know anybody who could ouput stereo samples in
direct mode.
The programs which use Sound Blaster Pro in stereo all use DMA mode 
for outputting sounds. To convert modplay to use sounblaster in DMA mode
is very hard, and I think that it is not possible to do it in the
space reserved for own drivers. 

If anyone has done stereo in direct mode, I would like to know how it
is done.

Does anyone have the assembly information needed for the SB-Pro in 
ModPlay 2.19B? I would really like to use ModPlay in stereo, as it is the

I have made a little program which does the effect you want.
The effect I created is something chipmunk-like.

I use sound blaster pro for digitizing and JDAC for ouput, because
soundblaster can't digitize and ouput digitized sounds at the same time. :-(
I wrote my program in Turbo Pascal with some assembler routines for
controlling soundblaster card. The idea is that in my program I have two
buffers. All the time I digitize to one of them in constant rate. At the
same time I play the digitized sounds from other buffer twice the speed
of the digitizing, so I have to play all buffers twice. I used sampling
rate of about 12kHz and the buffer length was 400 samples (bytes).

The program sifts the sound one octave up, though it adds some distortion
and noise to the sound because crude method used for signal processing. 
I also tried some other methods, but this gave the best results.

Hi there.  I've been thinking, and wanted to know if there's
a way to do harmonic voice effects on a PC.  Harmonics being
able to make one sound demonic, or chipmunk-like.  I'm not
quite certain of the algorithm involved, so I can't do the
implementation myself.  Now, I know you can play a sample
back faster, and you can play it back slower; these cause 
some of the desired effect.  But they also decrease and 
increase the playback time, respectively.  So, what I need
is to lower and raise the pitch/octave/whathaveyou, while 
keeping the playback time the same.  And, of course, ideally
I'd like to just have someone hand me some software that will
do this on an 386-486 machine equipped with a SB.

So, input?  Answers?  Any help would be appreciated.  I do
have some schematics for a little box that would do this,
but I'd like to do it on my machine.  And besides, the parts
for that project aren't cheap.  

Thanks in advance.

Towards the end, Bundy would do anything to delay his execution (including 
suck up to some fundi minister--"Oh yes, reading pornography made me do it...
just delay things for a day or two and I'll tell you _more_..."). He was,
after all, a supreme con man.

Sending the police out searching for a body that wasn't there just delayed
things a little more. "Well, maybe it was under _that_ tree, then..."

I would imagine that Bundy realized that he'd have to give the cops a real body
occasionally, to keep them interested and keep the game going, but Bundy
would try to string them along as long as possible--a few false leads, then a 
true one, then a few false ones, then a true one. The art would lie in keeping
the cops interested while still holding back--and making sure they knew--or 
thought--he was holding back. Nice game. But Bundy either ran out of things
to give them or didn't keep them believing that he had something to give them.
When the cops lost faith in him, they fried him.

Cases in point:  The Bender family (aka the Hell Benders) were a family of
serial killers in Southern/Southwestern Kansas in the late 1870s.  (I'm not
100% sure about the exact dates, but I do know that a lot of their victims
were thought at first to have been killed by the James boys).  Their MO was
to open a sort of "hotel" at their lonely little cabin, then the daughter,
Kate, would entice any male traveler to stop and take refreshment, sitting
with his back to a canvas partition.  Her brother or father would bash the
guy's head in as it poked against the canvas, then they'd rob him, dig a
hole, throw him in, and (so it was said) Kate herself would jump in and cut
his throat.

Another was Belle Gunness.  She was Norwegian born, and operated in the
late 1800s/early 1900s in northern Indiana.  She had a farm, and she would
advertise in Scandinavian-language papers for a potential husband to come
marry her and help pay off the mortgage.  At least seven corpses of
Scandinavian-American men who had disappeared after answering her ad were
dug up on her property.

Just so you sleep well tonight:  The Benders disappeared, and were never
seen again, and so did Belle Gunness.  Nobody knows what happened to either
of them.  There are theories that the Benders were trying to get away with
their loot and killed by a mob/posse/vigilantes who divvied up the loot,
and that Belle G. substituted another corpse for the one they found in the
ashes of her home.

I found the second phase.  The last phase(and one I'll spend the
most time on) will come tomorrow.

The second phase of serial killers were born of the industrial
revolution.  After industrialization the newly developed bourgeoisie 
became the threatened class.  They rose from the former underclass, and 
into respected social status. But with their self-defined ideology and
new social conscience, was brought their guilt.  The industrial
revolution created a mass society, where the traditional patriarchal
family no longer existed.  People neglected family to work for
and make money from, their social equals.  With this dedication
to their own economic class came a wave of disgust for the underclass.
There was a feeling that work would pull people out of poverty, and
those who could not rise above it, deserved it.  The newly
developed middle class punished the underclass.  Servants and 
prostitutes were prime targets.  It was a way of disciplining
the lower class.  But, in reality, this brutality may have emerged
because of the middle class may felt 'thrown into' this new social
order, and while members of proper society, felt a stronger 
relationship with those living in poverty.  From this period
came killers like: Jack the Ripper and Joseph Philippe.

How did my phase post get posted after my phase2, which I did later?  Anyway,
Ted Bundy, in 'volunteering to divulge what made him a serial killer' and
give clues to earlier killings was merely trying to obtain a stay of 
execution.  He tried to manipulate people up until the end.

I wrote this a long while back.  For those new to the board (or net, if you
will), it might be worth repeating.

Many years ago, an 8-year-old girl was discovered to be missing.  Her
mother, upon entering her daughter's bedroom noticed the window opened
widely, and the bed askew, but empty.  There was a massive search
for the girl in the following weeks, with special focus placed on the
new excavations at the local college where buildings were being erected.

Everyone was questioned about the girl's disappearance.  The police even
questioned the local 14-year-old paper boy whom the little girl had a 
crush on.  But it was to no avail; the girl, nor her body was ever found.

The 14-year-old paperboy was Ted Bundy.  Years later, before Bundy was about 
to die, the girl's mother wrote to him, inquiring if he had anything to 
do with the girl's death.  Bundy answered only, "I can only say I never 
meant to hurt anybody".

Judging by Bundy's execution, I guess the Feds weren't too satisfied.

Well, not really, unless the police aren't giving us the full story.
He tried to give them a few leads on some of his oldest cases in
Washington, but the amnount of time passed since those crimes was
so long that not much in the way of physical evidence was going to 
be available.

Mostly though Ted was conferring to try and help the police with their
search for the "Green River Killer" (still at large). The GRK is operating
in the same region and style that Bundy began his killing in, so it was
hoped that he could provide some insights into his mind, motives, or
techniques. Judging by their failure to catch the GRK I suppose the 
alliance wasn't fruitful. . .

I can't believe this.  I was almost done with this post, then
my machine lost contact, and I lost the last two phases.  Well,
here's the first phase of serial killing.  I'll retype the last two
either later today or tomorrow.

Okay, I am listing these phases of serial killers by memory.  If anyone
can embellish on this list, feel free to add your input.

Take into account that we are speaking of serial killers and not
despots, tsars or tyrants.

The first serial killers, the so-called "pre-industrial killers"
were taken from the ranks of the aristocrats.  The first known wave
occurred around the 15th century.  This was a time, although
besieged with problems, where human relationships were "personalized
on a human scale".  There was no such thing as an institutionalized
relationship.  Rather, a peasant's life was centered around
community and working toward a common goal(although they were
serving a lord).  Although love relationships were more than likely
not ideal, the personalization of their relationships were such
that it did not create an environment for producing serial killers.
But, the aristocrats, on the other hand, although they had economic
power, they lead live of great social upheavel and were in a
critical point in history.  Feudalism was giving way to rebellions
by the peasants.  The merchant class was growing stronger.  It was
no longer the life of 'thousands slaving for the one'.  It was in
this environment of the rebellious peasant and the threatened
social order that serial killers such as Gilles de Rais were born.
Their violent sexual fantasies and torture against the peasants were
a last attempt at quashing the change in peasants's attitudes and
a symbolic gesture of expressing total power towards them.

Well, this doesn't come as a great surprise :).  I tend to think that the 
things I do are worthwhile, too.  Note that I didn't say that NLP was 
worthless, only that it doesn't live up to its hype, and seems to be mainly a 
way to relieve people of their money by giving them things that they can get 
for free just as easily.

Mr. Bandler is certainly quite clever--NLP is a cut above, say, Dianetics.  
The problem is that, like other yuppie self-improvement systems (SyberVision 
being the other big one), it's old material mixed with a large dose of hype 
and put into slick new packaging.

Now, you can tell me that the academic community and professional 
organizations are part of the "establishment," and are therefore biased 
against NLP, but when every professional linguist, psycholinguist, and 
psychologist I've ever talked to (including some whose works Mr. Bandler 
cites) says "it's self-hypnosis and bunk in a pretty package," I tend to give 
their opinions some credit, especially when those impressions are backed up 
by my own impressions from exposure to NLP and NLP materials.

This is, of course, true for any mental or spiritual exercises.

Not a bad idea.  I'll see if I can dig out some stuff to critique (I'm in the 
process of moving yet again, so most of my stuff is in boxes at the moment).  
You could also try explaining just what things about NLP are "new" :).

kinesthetic bias? it doesn't seem to me that you have really responded to
