This composition is inspired by The Monkees 1987 album Pool It!: very eighties, very cheesy. Loop It! focuses on looping sounds, playing them backwards, and sounding really bad.

Instrument 300: Nosmith

The nosmith is instrument 300. It creates a slightly distored guitar sound by taking the output from the pluck opcode as the input to the distort1 opcode. Its parameters are amplitude and frequency. The nosmith is used in the beginning of the song to play the “Heart and Soul” riff.
