Knowing you, Zef, you will like Fez.
By my logic I probably won't like Fez since it is actually the complete reversal of my being.
Whoever gets it gets a cookie... y'know the digital kind.

The problem of Double clicking A giving you one of these patterns is now null and void though since LSDJ is smart enough not to now

man I've been playing this new game called lsdj
so much grinding
Totes worth it once you level up. Plus it's one of the only games that pays YOU micro-transaction fees once you get good at it
Sometimes I wish it had an "Easy" difficulty level though haha.

00 / 00 is K-00 G-00, with a couple phrases at the bottom filled with instruments saved in them to keep them from being cleaned.

I've been interested in Fez for a long time, I'm just waiting out for it to be available on PC; nice analogy for the alley, that made me laugh.

Tribes looks awesome and the Cave Story recommendation was spot on, I played it two years ago and absolutely loved it!
Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming!

Okay guys, for being a forum about music created with video-game consoles of all things there's far too little discussion about gaming going on.
I'm going to be getting a bit bored this summer and I need something to pass the time; recommend to me your favourite game that roughly lines up with one of these specs;
Preferably a super fun online mode
First person shooter OR addictive puzzle-sort game
Under $50,
preferably on Steam or Desura or something
Must be available on PC
Some old games I like are
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield 2142
Portal 2
Braid
Zuma
So guys, what are you playing lately? Go hard.

Re: Slow Build-up sound??? (11 replies, posted in Audio Production)
Listen to this at 1:40 : http://chipforcancer.bandcamp.com/track/zef-subsonic
Is that what you're talking about?
What you want to do is make a pulse instrument and change the Vib. type from HF to a squiggly sine wave, this slows down all pitch functions on that instrument a lot. Then go and place a low note and Use a P-01 command and it'll bend up super slow.
If you want it to gate and cut in and out like mine without interrupting the pitch bend use O commands with to mute and unmute the channel, or just put it on a table with
O-LR G-00
O-(greyed out LR)
H-00And change the groove to something that fits the timing you want. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
@ VCMG, I'm surprised you haven't used the slow pitch bends yet, they give you a lot more control! That should open up a few cool new tricks for you.

In what way is it unique?
It was obviously a generalization, but in traditional composition the writer doesn't have precise control over individual vibrato on each individual violin, or the exact timing and degree of volume swells which will be replicated EVERY time the piece is played (of course you could play a piece on guitar and do bends and slides exactly as you like, but you can't plot it out and do it exactly the same every time). Even in other forms of electronic music (which play back the same every time) it is much more difficult to manipulate most VST plugins with a different envelope or vibrato on each and every note; or change the length of a legato slide on each note. I suppose I should say "Trackers" rather than chipmusic, but I do find that trackers give control that is mostly unprecedented elsewhere. I haven't written a thesis on this or anything so I'm open to discussion though, anyone want to contest that ^?

Me too. I focus on every little detail. It's a bit painful sometimes. I wouldn't mind being a breezier composer...
