Yeah. I just posted it since somebody asked me to show them one.
]]> animal crossing]]>lol i dunno
but some people are starting to tag their music 4-bit and 1-bit and stuff.
This is a silly not-serious thread and I was just being silly even though there are 4-bit computers which produce music and computers with 1-bit sound devices so it's covered on all sides.
Also didn't somebody just recently create a tracker for a TI calculator to create 1-bit chipmusic?
1-bit and 4-bit gets no love ;_;
I'm just trying to raise the question, since this has been bugging me for a while. Not to rag on you, to be clear! It's just kind of annoying to me when people call Game Boy (or YM2149/AY equivalent) music "4-bit" (especially when they do it to correct someone calling it "8-bit") when there's really no technical basis to what distinguishes it from so called 8-bit music. Very few sound chips (can't think of any, really) typically used for 8-bit music would qualify as being "8-bit" in the terms that people use to say that Game Boy music is "4-bit".

]]>What devices qualify as being "8-bit"?
And what about the SID (More importantly, what about the Sony Dreamcast 4-bit)? My point here is that "8-bit" is more or less used as a catch-all for any blip-bloppy music, and in that context hardly refers to any tangible technical aspect of production.

i laughed audibly.
and just to be clear, the diving helmet is me. I asked the penguin what kind of music he likes, and this is what he said. he has plenty of musical gear in his house.
also in the same visit, he sold me an amp for cheap. that's a very chiptune thing to do.
the next day he said he wants to start wearing leopard print clothes.
we made it guys. we're famous now.

well what else do we fucking call it then, lol
i always just call it chip music.. chiptune is fine but the word itself always sounded kind of quaint to me. but yea whatevz
