It's because "chiptune" begins with C

I'm entertaining the notion that everyone who thought that chiptune was EVER a hardware-based aesthetic was completely wrong

or at least that the hardware meant anything other than "video games"

Oh no, no, nooooo

please let's not make this a fakebit thing

(though if we could exchange fakebit by post-chip I'm all for the tag rename)

Why not ditch post-chip and make post-munk instead. Vaporwave with vocals pitched up instead of down.

Considering the rest of the post- genres and what they do (post-rock turning more ambient and experimental, post-punk turning more worldly and theory-minded, etc), post-chip would have to define a tendency on the chip scene and break from it... except, which would this convention be?

This is why I oppose the notion of chip as a genre, because the only characteristic you need to be "chip" is to, well, either use chips, emulate chips, or work with near-chip limitations. And while doing so, you can write house, rock, salsa, tarantella, zydeco, whatever.

So no. I posit that "post-chip" can't be a thing because chip ain't a fucking genre. Unless you decide to do a lot of chip compositions based on the genre stylings of any post- genre and call it post-chip... though I'd say it'd be more accurate to call it chip-post.

God, this is so inane. Look what you make me do. This is embarrassing.

The real question is should this be in the "handhelds" section?  Nintendo, stop defying categorization!

They're calling this a "portable console". Maybe the fact that there are controllers that connect to the thing (albeit wirelessly) make them say this is a console.

Because I was a little shit that turned off the volume when playing NES and Game Boy back when I was young, and when I picked the Game Boy back up to replay my fave games I realized what I was missing. First I wanted to "make up for the lost time", then it just became a thing forever.

One day I'll make something at least 4 times that length, for kicks.

What in fresh hell happened here. Oh my god.

And him claiming you guys were attacking him for being Mexican is extremely insulting to me. CHTM Jaffa. (lol)

Part of me prefers people who think LSDj is the end all be all of chipmusic.

I don't really know, but what's the demand for an SNES tracker?

I've been demanding one for quite a while

So basically, this is "presenting chiptune to people as if it was the stuff they already hear, and see what happens"?

I singlehandedly changed the game of inputting notes into a sequencer

And I, in turn, revolutionized listening to those notes. Or something.

Being a pioneer is overrated anyway.

Both instruments might be sharing an arpeggio setting slot. In this case, you can fix this by opening the non-arp instrument, go to Arpeggio, and clicking either on the checkbox right at the side of it, or on "Select next empty slot" at the bottom.
