ok instead of commenting on semantics or your oddly defensive/dismissive posts, i'll just say that i know what you mean, i am an absolute sucker for melody-oriented chipmusic, so watch me namedrop a bunch of artists that i think do "melody" better than anybody else:

4mat
cTrix
chibitech
George & Jonathan
virt
zabutom
Maxo

and i take great pains to ensure that my music is some of the most heavily melody-oriented stuff out there: http://www.soundcloud.com/bryface.  in fact, based on what you say about your preference for, somehow, "chip that is not chip", i practically GUARANTEE that you will dig it, otherwise i don't know what to do for you son.

you've got some listening to do.

Right back at you dude! The end of your chipped track is banging as hell, and dat bass in your arrange. So funky.

the chipped track is actually an abridged version of my original submitted track, which is almost twice as long.  it (along with some other artists' tracks) was cut for length in order to fit everything on the CD version.

the full version of the track will rear its head soon enough though, in a related release smile

super solid release!  when the single-channel staccato volumeslided chords came in during "Broken Song" i woke up in 1992 and decided to live there for three years.

oh hey i wanted to ask, i think i remember you writing an article/blog a few years back about emulating PWM pulse waves in protracker, but i can't for the life of me locate it.  is my memory faulty or did you in fact write it and then delete it later on or something?

Thanks, yes I deleted that blog a while back.

Following on from iLKke's post, another way of doing it (which I used on Sable) involves two channels. Firstly make two identical saw wave instruments and reverse the sample in one of them.  Then set the finetune on that reversed instrument to a small value (-8 or +8 in an XM tracker, or use the E1x command in PT)   Now if you play the same notes on both channels you'll get a PWM pulse wave sound.   If you're using Milky/FastTracker the X command (ultra fine-pitch) is preferable, can get some nice variations out of that.

right on, thanks for the protip.  the original article was just a random brain itch that i wanted to scratch, there wasn't really any reason other than that.

is there a difference in doing the two-channel method, sonically?  or is this is the only way to achieve that kind of PWM effect in trackers other than PT 2.x?  ( i take it also that the two-channel method requires the channel to be in the same place in the stereo spectrum in order for the PWM effect to happen.)

anyway; added to cart

Glowing Stars, Crashfaster and Awkward Terrible are all coming together. We're playing jamspace and also playing a legit show... I think? I'll post all the real info when I'm given all the details. Might be doing some Matthew Joseph Payne stuff too.

So, YES LET'S MEET UP DAWG

word. let me know if you guys need help saving money on accommodations smile 

unfortunately i got an email from the MAGfest guys saying that there won't be a MAGfest Jamspace at PAX prime this year.  too bad - i wonder if there might be an alternative to it though...

Just wanted to see who else might be headed for PAX Prime at the end of august.   maybe some loose coordination could happen over... something?

in terms of accommodation i'll likely be crashing with a couple of Seattle friends at their house, but if there's enough mutual interest i could be convinced to share a room with a bunch of folks at a hotel.

Does anybody know if there'll be a Jamspace there, like there was at PAX East?  Also, based on my rudimentary googling, i couldn't figure out conclusively how one might go about playing there.   do you have to reserve a timeslot?  am i supposed to talk to the MAGFest guys or something?  I'll probably ask these questions on the penny arcade forums too, but i figured there might be people here with the inside scoop.
