OK, meanwhile the Korg came here yesterday.

The funny thing is, I though (judging from the Internet photos) that it's as big as the VHS video-cassette is.
But no! It's much smaller. It's in size or a regular tape-recorder cassette. Ha!

OK, gotta go to test it. wink

Temp:
They're completely unstable in the power area (in 80s people were praying while loading games so the fridge wouldn't turn on in the kitchen - to avoid reset). The machines work totally OK in a regular flat/home nowadays, but when I took mine to Warsaw last times, to the concert - it was crashing over and over again, being connected with all those loudspeakers, amplifiers, and God knows what more. Luckily I suspected it might behave like that, so I also took a regular ZX Spectrum with me, heh.

All:
Well, I'm just sayin'. wink
If You were in the neighbourhood, You know. wink

Hahaha, not too long trip then. wink

Yes, 2 weeks later there will be a chiptune concert of Ultrasyd, in Gdansk.

PS: As for me, this time I planned to try for the first time those 6-channels chiptunes (2 AY chips) that have been made on ZX81 computer. Another thing is, that will have to use Eva because ZX81 requires most stable power-grid that isn't accessible on any place organizing concerts. wink

So that's actually what I was thinking of, yes: some concert matters. it might be an interesting gadget indeed. And good-lookin' - which isn't unimportant while gigs, y'know.

Hello.

If You're bored enough to go to Gdanks/Danzig this month, then You might take a look (and take... a hear wink wink ) on my micromusic concert (chiptunes/MODs) made with ZX Spectrum Evolution, Amiga 1200 and Atari520ST (plus toy-keyboards).

It will take a place in Gdansk (PL), on RetroKomp event for all retro-machines' maniax:
http://retrokomp.org/

Date: 26.10.2013 (Saturday) - about 16:00.

That's how the event looked last time:

So - You decide.
I'm gonna be there anyway, I presume. wink

Greetzzzzz,
Yerz

Hi.

I've just spotted it on the Net. Looks like especially created for micromusic (maybe it was).

There are 3 micro-synthesizers in the series.

Korg Monotron (so-called Korg Monotron Synth)
Korg Monotron Duo (that I bought a minute ago)
Korg Monotron Delay

That's how they look:

I still don't have my Duo, as I wait for the postman to bring it here but I simply had to buy the machine as it looks soooooo cool and it sounds well (check out the YouTube) and it was highly... cheap.
And it's incredibly small.

Supposedly in future I'll buy also two more models of them.

Greetzzzzz,
Yerz

PS: As for the sound - check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65piXTPE8NM

Supposedly some 2.0 version exists http://bjoern.spruck.net/lynx/ but I can't find it on the Net.

Thanks guys.
Whilst AY is stable in standard square waves playing, still - one has to tune manually every and each note in a pattern when "buzzers" are used. smile So it's nice that You dig my laborious work to make the Spectrum's sound more interesting. wink
Best regards,
Yerz

Well, what I had in mind is, that it might be a possibility more people could get such application to make music for C64 games and demos.
And C=264 too, for that matter, as we use external Sid-Cards on C=264.
Ah well, just a though anyway.

Dear Chip Musicians,
I'm proud to annonce SIDPAD, my latest app for the ipad:


I wonder if You could add an "export to C64" feature. I don't know what do they use there - *.sid files?
Anyway, it might be a good idea.

as for why to make em in the first place... i just like older electronics stuff! i drive a 98 cabrio, only has tape decks... gotta get my DnB fix somehow tongue
i also record a lot of random things on cassettes that i keep in my traveling gear. there are some things i come across that i just have to record.
more seriously, the choice of medium changes the tunes a lot! makes em real warm and intimate, lots of love in there. smile

Oh no dude, I can understand You _completely_!!!
That is why I was doing the same thing some time ago. smile I'm just referring to the people's reactions, You know.
I totally share Your interest, I also have hundreds of tapes, a few tape-recorders, also many my friends do (like the admin of http://www.atari.org.pl/ and others).
I even still make photos on regular film cameras http://www.lomography.com/homes/yerzmyey and so on. smile

I wish You all the best with the project, it's SOOOOO cool!!

Very good dude, I'm listening to it right now.

Also, I was wondering about the cassettes idea. Several years ago I was publishing on cassettes, as a breeze of oldchool You know, 100 issues every time, if I recall - it was pretty cheap actually, so I was able to afford.

The problem is - people were complaining that nobody has a tape-recorder nowadays, to listen the stuff. What's about Your situation with the cassettes? If You don't mind to type several words.
