-## Q8: What were some of the challenges with writing a special-mode for Emacs? I'm interested in getting into this in the future, but I'm not really sure where to start.
-
-That'd be awesome, thanks! Will do
-
-I used define-derived-mode (<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Derived-Modes.html>) to make this mode. It's really useful! For more information, I recorded a talk about making major modes (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk39mp8Vy4M>) a few years ago, at an EmacsNYC (<https://emacsnyc.org/>) meeting.

-## Q6: Do you think would be possible to add a set of recorded sounds in order to use those?
+# Questions
-Yes! Part of zmusic is tooling to make wave files, so it should be possible to slice-and-dice input data, and output valid wave files.

+## Q8: Any MIDI mapping possibilities?
+Should be! Would just need to change the low-level.
-## Q7: have you written any actual songs (in RRRM/WAVEing)? Can you play one ?

+## Q6: Have you written any actual songs (in RRRM/WAVEing)? Can you play one?
+Nothing super or well put together as of now.
## Q5: Are there any open source musical instrument sample libraries that could be used? E.g. "play A 440 on Piano sample 1" to provide better quality notes than built-in tones
-
-Experimentation would be fun. However, the nice part about Emacs is that it doesn't have any external dependencies, you only need a way to play WAVes.

## Q4: What is your musical background? Do you play any instruments?
-
-Random instruments, started with recorder, played cello for a long time, now playing guitar.

## Q3: Any chance for an Emacs tracker/mod player? (plays several samples arranged in the same top-down fashion with effects applied to them for chiptune and keygen music)
-
+I don't really know what a tracker/mod player is.
## Q2: Will you play us another song? (RIP ears — who needs 'em, this is awesome! it is!)
-
UPDATE: can confirm, it was easy to play a song myself :-) Very nice!
However git clone <https://hg.sr.ht/~zck/zmusic> didn't work, I wonder if I'm doing it wrong
-- Had to browse to <https://hg.sr.ht/~zck/zmusic/browse/zmusic.el> and copy/paste.
-- It's mercurial! (I have Opinions about version control systems). Try \`hg clone\` instead, or copy/paste from the link directly.
-- BAM! hg clone works fine
- - Hooray!

-
-## Q1: Why do you go top-to-bottom for time progression and left-to-right for low-to-high in stead of doing it pivoted? (e.g. higher is higher tone, left-to-right is time progression). This is awesome by the way!(+1)
-
-The initial app (the inspiration) worked this way. It is definitely something worth looking into.
