There are no limitations at all in chiptune music. The only limits are the ones of electricity and physics
If you're a drummer, you might find this musician quite inspiring:

There are captors inside his drums which trigger the chiptune notes, in addition to playing the drum itself, so he has control over the beat (which is often at full speed in his case...)

I don't think bandcamp allows to upload zip files, so we have to use annoying tricks such as renaming a zip file to .txt and tell people to rename it

It's actually more expensive than buying it on the C.H.I.P. project homepage...

"Recently", it sounds like there were some recent updates in the Atari ST TOS or on Maxymiser

I can't really tell from my experience, because I generally use MaxYMiser from an emulator. Here is what I encountered so far:

- On hatari 1.7.0 or 1.8.0 it's very stable, I've never encountered any crash I remember.
- On hatari 1.9.0 I got some random crashes when saving (bomb and exit). Maybe it's because it's a version I compiled myself, and with the new cpu core from winuae.
- On some rare occasions, I worked on my Atari STF with maxYMiser, without any problem for saving files.
- With other programs on my new Atari STE, I had problems for loading data from floppies.

So my thoughts are:
- your STE floppy drive might becoming defective
- and/or your floppies might become defective as well

if you're not using floppies but sd cards or usb sticks, it could be some rare bugs in maxYMiser, for example with a specific instrument or some settings in your songs which may interfere with the saving process.

Have you tried loading sample songs, make small edits, save again?
You may also try to load your current songs into an emulator and try to save again to see it this problem is still present.

About MaxYMiser use, I think it can look complicated at first, and the only difficult part is learning how to use the sequences. On the other hand, if you've used GoatTracker and its tables, MaxYMiser will look more confortable on this aspect.

But for the rest it's easy to enter notes, effects and such.

Everything in one screen is probably too much (and looks cramped), with 2 differents screens it would have been better. Yet SidWizard only has one screen and is easier to get used to it.

Thanks.

Here are my recordings so you can compare:

In the case it doesn't play directly in the browser (I can play them with firefox on linux, or chrome on windows, but not firefox on windows), you can just download the files with the grey download icon.

What do you think?

I thought they would use the same FPGA code for the ay-3-8910, but it's not similar: on MiST it's using a stereo separation (ABC) like on Amstrad, but what makes me wonder is for example for "Trip to Japan", one version is 4 seconds longer than the other!

please post or send me the sna or tap and I'll record them from MiST board.

both. It can use some 1bit samples and / or use generated 1bit sound using the beeper, and / or use the AY soundchip

Edit: on this track Yerzmyey said it's using 4bit samples. Is it using the beeper or the AY soundchip for outputing the music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MNHP-hBMLI
