Very interesting... I like the idea of new hardware like this.

I've just got my YM2151 arduino shield today, I'll play a bit with it, and I'll maybe get this one as well.

That's very good!
I'm usually not very found of chiptune + voice mixing, but here it sounds neat!

I'm still genuinely curious about how he makes music with his sega. Is it with a piece of software on the genesis like YMDj / Chaos Tracker, or with a cross-platform tool like deflemask, or by driving the chip with something else...?

Do you think it could be possible to play NSF from this cart? (or binaries exported from famitracker)

wow, that's cheap: http://bennvenn.myshopify.com/collectio … eap-o-cart

but I guess for the price, you can't backup your work to a computer?

What a jerk. From the interview:

I feel that maybe I’m the only producer within the contemporary music platform that’s using that sound chip. I might be wrong but as far as I know. If there is anyone out there who’s also using it, please get in contact ’cause I’d love to chat to you.

According to the HT2 manual, ION is recommended on TI-83. Isn't the calculator memory / ROM saturated by something else? (I only have a TI-83+ so I can't tell how it works on TI83)

Latest commit is from last month, so I guess it is:

Very impressive! Original and well done... thanks.

very cool js player, thank you Hermit!

yes, please do chipmusic with Arduino!!

I don't want to sound like a purist, but what amaze me most with chipmusic are... the chips. I like the idea you take a 1 cm x2 cm chip, you send it some electricity, and you get some music. The chip can be old (PSG) or new (ATmega328), dedicated to music or not, it's still great.

Modern and powerful equipment can create et emulate chiptunes, but since it's more complex (involving a full computer chain), I find it less interesting (like samples based music).

Very useful video, thanks Utz!

It sounds great, but the diatonic-only way of composing would prevent me for ever to get one sad
It would have been easy to use the current way of entering notes, and add the sharp and flat with the rotary switch...

Thanks ! Really good use of Digisamples for a 89 demo !!! big_smile

if you want to hear the original song on C64 (by Rob Hubbard):

On the Atari cover, I got the impression the drums are made of samples, but the rest is soundchip.

When I listened on my Atari ST to the almost 20 minutes long Knuckle Buster song in my attic, when I was around 14 years old.
