i consider it a VGM related instrument - absolutely - i used to have one... they're awesome - in the same league as the Yamaha FB01 unit - you could technically modify your MT32 to have a non-volatile RAM chip so that turning it off would not erase your patches - altho i have never attempted this trick

so... is it chiptune? not really... but that doesnt mean you wont get street cred for using real VGM hardware

Contrary to what it says on 8static.com... I will NOT be appearing on Nov 12th 2011.

I will be playing in the future... but right now I am pre-occupied by my 40hr a week day job, and my side-work (soundtracks).  I don't have enough time to practice my live stuff.  I refuse to put on a sub-par performance... so I will be delaying my appearance until my work load lightens up.  Sorry to all who were looking forward to this.

OK guys... bad news: I am actually not able to make it to 8static in Nov 2011.  I will be playing in the future... but right now I am pre-occupied by my 40hr a week day job, and my side-work (soundtracks).  I don't have enough time to practice my live stuff.  I refuse to put on a sub-par performance... so I will be delaying my appearance until my work load lightens up.  Sorry to all who were looking forward to this.

hmm pretty late on this discussion... but to anyone who cares:

Vegavox 1 (cartridge) *sold out* 170 copies
Color Caves (cartridge) *sold out* 100 copies
Vegavox 2 (cartridge) *sold out* 50 copies
9999 (CD) sold 274 physical copies and still going
9999 (download on penny arcade website) sold 117 copies and still going

that took years... it takes a long time to sell this many of anything niche

my fav idea is: "play chiptunes" - wish i thought of that

the stickers i had made were done on vinyl... its good for waterproof stickers - google search "vinyl sticker printing" but be aware most places have you do 100s at a time as a minimum - ps: its the same material most bumper stickers are printed on
