But something to tell is that Canoo is running amiga. These chinese handhelds are the future today. I heard of Milkytracker running with some smartphones, or am I tripping?
Also, if those nes roms from Neil Baldwin worked with those handheld emulator would be so fucking easy to make NES music.
The handheld portability is that makes it so fun to make music - at least to me.
I've looked into those handhelds. I'm thinking about it, but I haven't pulled the trigger. As far as smarphones go...I'm too cheap to buy a data plan, haha.
I want to expand on what I said previously, though, because I have read complaints about people putting (LSDJ) at the end of their song titles. I find that useful. I get in moods where I want to hear a certain type of chip or music. I can go to 8bc and search for songs that were made with certain chips or programs. But there are tons and tons of things labeled "LSDJ" or "Famitracker" or "VR6" or whatever. Last week I was on a c64 kick. I searched 8bc and found some nice tracks. Then I got interested in Atari ST stuff. Less results. How does someone coming from the Chip Community learn about XM/MOD stuff without people in the chip community touting that they used _____ tracker to make the tune?
For instance: just this week I downloaded Trash80's "Icarus" (I know, late to the party...). I really like it. Is it XM? MOD? A bunch of hardware synths playing midi stuff? I don't know. But I damn sure know Trey Frey used two linked copies of LSDJ to make "Recover".
So instead here are some links, lots of clever stuff to see happening if you check them out in a tool. Certainly not "just a playback format". (oh I'm doing it again)
