Which of these two legendary Future Crew alumni are mentioned the most in sample texts? And then proceeds to only use the first 20 seconds of it! Which is, I guess, better than zedfox_-_classic.xm, a remix of Megalovania which contains a huge portion of Dragster 5k and proceeds to not use it at all. The song with the next largest sample, and definitely the more gratuitous of the two, was ggbb.xm, which has a sample consisting of the entire 3 minutes of the 1994 Finnish Eurovision Song Contest entry, “Bye Bye Baby” by CatCat. The biggest sample I found in a mod was Falseheart, although it’s reasons are fairly explainable, as it’s a large vocal track that accompanies the music. Number 2 is a closed hi-hat, which many samplenames point to as HiHat2 in the ST-01 SoundTracker sample pack.Īnd the most popular sample, used in 1,592 different modules - and which I would have never, ever guessed - is the quintessential ingredient to many musical transitions: the reverse cymbal! Number 3 is a bassier chip lead, a paltry 48 bytes long. Its most common samplename is O-HIHAT.1, so I’m guessing it’s the sibling of our #9 entry. Number 4 is the staple of many tracks, the open hi-hat. Number 5, coming in at 126 bytes, is a simple chip lead. Number 6 is another cymbal crash! Again no clues here. Number 7 is POPSNARE2 from the ST-01 sample pack. Number 8 is a cymbal crash! No real clues as to the origin of this one. Number 9 is a closed hi-hat, most commonly named C-HIHAT.1. Your browser does not support the audio element. Number 10 is a tom drum, known in many sample names as Dr_Tom. So, you know, just take all of this for what it’s worth!Īcross all IT, XM, MOD and S3M files in the ModArchive torrents: Now that we’ve solved that mystery, let’s wrap this up with an excursion through that data!ĭisclaimer: I’ve done the best I can to clean the data I gathered and ensure its accuracy, but I’m not going to stake any rigorous claims of perfection against it. In order to explore the origins and prevalence of a personally-beloved drum loop sample named BRBEATLP.958, I fingerprinted and catalogued every sample of every MOD/S3M/XM/IT file in the Mod Archive so that I could hunt it down amidst tens of thousands of different songs.
