Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly crap can't wait!!!!

Those songs are old as heck and long gone, but you may be showing up on a new album

You don't sound like an idiot and it IS me!
Can I hear those songs dude? Thx! lol

OMG Bazz!! I've actually been following you for like years! I've been waiting for this! I found you years ago through a youtube video about a gameboy cart flasher. I sampled that video in like two songs haha. Glad to see you're still working on this project. I'll definitely be backing this.

edit: I hope this is the right guy and I don't sound like an idiot

hell of a great project man. love those .spc file glitches.

but I agree with prof, maybe you should lower the fundings for this. anyway, have good luck on this.

and it took people like 4 years to get their chip maestros. And it kinda sucked as a product. Id suggest you at least get a good alpha going before asking for money.

I'm sold. Where do I sign away my paycheck?

TAKE MY MONEY NOW!   (Seriously I'll donate a decent amount when you go love with kickstarter)

Hang on, how are you recording it?  You have to have Record & Play buttons running in Milkytracker to have the track run, not just the Rec button  Otherwise how would it know where the rests are in the melody?

Wow this is truly amazing! I've always found it very annoying that whenever I play a melody on my midi keyboard, the tracker (milkytracker, famitracker) does not record it the way it is (ie it places all the notes directly after each other instead of also capturing the empty spaces), is this what you're thinking of too? Anyhow, whenever this comes to Kickstarter, I'll definitely be a backer! it sounds very promising so far!

@Xurilk Thanks so much for your positive response. I'm very inspired to be successful now
Sadly, I don't know anybody to enlist, I'll have to let everyone know I'm searching.

It's Chip Maestro, actually, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ja … -cartridge
They pledged for $1,150 and wound up making $15,000. Everything is awesomeeee

Hey, you've got your own domain, you're a few steps ahead of the curve! I can't say whether or not the goal is really too high, because it depends on your project goals and to-do list. The thing with midiNES is that people really like their tangible, hardware stuff.

Either way, I'm very interested, and would compile it and play with it if I was working on OSX. I'd be willing to donate a modest amount to a kickstarter no matter what, but if you really woo us with those rewards I might put in more. You can do rare/nice samplepacks, physical documentation, get a designer to make some art for stickers/shirts, maybe an album of snes music made using your software as it currently is? Hell, I'd contribute a song towards that as soon as I can play with even the most early build of this tracker. As for other reward ideas, well, why not some pimped up SNES's+flashcart combos (You can play spc's on hardware, right?) at the highest reward tiers? They're not that hard to source and could really boost the hype. And, again, tangible stuff.

Software idea: Sample importing needs to be as simple as can be, like, drag and drop. Maybe even integrate a recording feature so they can be sent straight from line-in straight into the software, and then chopped up/reversed, etc.

Your project is great, and the way you're documenting the process on a blog and youtube is really nice. You really should enlist the help of at least one more person, for design, promotion, administration, and such purposes; getting crowdfunded is hard work! Having some funds to start with would probably be a good idea. Best of luck on this and your job hunt!

Midines never had a kickstartet
