I stumbled across micromusic.net somewhere in 2001. I think I was looking for anything related to net art. Looking for things like hell.com and jodi.org. I was hooked, but thought, "Oh damn, the whole micromuisc scene is in europe, too bad I'll never make it to a show". Shortly thereafter I came across 8bitpeoples and a few years later went to the 2006 International Chiptune Resistance show in SF with bitshifter and nullsleep.

I think one of my initial attractions to chipmusic was that it's this umbrella term for a wide range of styles. This was in contrast to the San Fransisco bay area electronic music scene which had an overwhelming amount of sub generas and rabid fans who were on edge just waiting to correct you about their sub sub sub classifications of music. In this way the chipscene seemed familiar to the breakcore scene I was a part of.

I completely missed/avoided the 8BC scene because it seemed like a lot of drama. But I've been convinced by Matt Payne that Chipmusic.org is a lot friendlier and less crowded. So far I like it here.

I heard the music in the NES games I had and always wanted to make my own.  I found virt in 2000 or 2001 and tried using Paragon5 tracker, but didn't really get anywhere.  Nullsleep made a basic guide to how to use MCK and that got me started making music.  My first cover was of an Infected Mushroom song in 2003.  Then I joined 2a03.org and vgmix and the rest is history.

Wow. You started in tracking in 2003? I stumbled across your Sounds of the 2a03 in 2005 and was really inspired by it. I would close my eyes and imagine being taken on a journey over the course of the album. You told a great story with music.

Just ordered mine. Thanks! I'm excited to try this out.

Thanks Nitro! OH I had always wondered how resyn2 worked! (but still not sure why one would use resyn2 over resync)

Another question I have is if vshift just moves the waveform up, then why at FF when it loops back around does it have the noisey overtones added?

Oh hell yes I want to buy this!

Maybe I'm over thinking it. I was just curious where it comes from/ what fun things people have done with it.

It moves the waveform up, and at FF it wraps around but with more noise. Why?
