It's really helpful to see these things done video tutorial style. Thank you. Eagerly awaiting new topics.

Thank you, @OldMoses! Glad you enjoy it.

Well I learned something.  I've been totally ignorant of _SNDPLAYCOPY.  I should have used that in my drummachine instead of _SNDPLAY which clips the instrument sounds when playing them close together. _SNDPLAYCOPY will make them (especially the cymbals) sound natural playing.  I'm going to update the drummachine right now.

Thanks for all that you do for the QB64 community, Fellippe.

Thanks, Dav!

Looking forward to the updated version of the drum machine ;-)

Thanks Fellippe - I have shied away from images and sound but they seems a lot easier to handle in a program then I thought they were. However, I must admit, a variable name of "pew&" had me thinking there would be an odour generated. Ah, the smell of a dank, damp dungeon.
