Ultima
Ratio
Composed
and
Arranged
by
Nebularia
This
one
was
definitely
the
most
serious
work
of
mine
when
finished
(now
I've
found
a
couple
of
controversial
harmonic
solutions
that
sound
quite
irritating
to
my
ear!).
It
has
influences
(I
hope
not
too
clearly)
from
Jogeir
Liljedahl,
Bjorn
Lynne
and
Vangelis,
but
also
from
Kenny
G
and
even
Queen.
I
guess
I
spent
about
100
working
hours
(about
3
months)
with
this
one.
This
tune
uses
IT
resonant
filtering
so
you'll
need
an
MMX
system
to
get
a
correct
output.
Also,
it
uses
a
*LARGE*
amount
of
channels
and
I
recommend
you
have
at
least
130
channels
available.
Otherwise
you
might
want
to
use
the
disk
writer
device.
Also,
PLEASE
avoid
using
external
IT
players
with
this
module!
The
only
external
IT
player
that
produces
an
acceptable
output
is
XMPlay,
although
it's
not
perfect,
either.
I
only
tested
XMPlay
1.7
(noticeably
different
but
not
annoying)
since
the
channel
limit
of
96
in
ModPlug
Player
is
too
low,
anyway.
Although
XMPlay
does
the
job
pretty
well,
I
highly
recommend
that
you
stick
with
Impulse
Tracker
2.14p5.
I
squeezed
the
file
size
of
this
module
about
60%
of
the
original!
I
hope
I
managed
to
retain
decent
sound
quality.
