OR, you COULD still have it anyway, thereby doubling the number of open mics.

(i wanna hear people for more than 6 mins at a time!!!!)

i'm lounging around in los angeles at the moment so i can't do a picture of DMG In Mouth, but I can make do with a Bit Shifter In My Way.

ok, so i finished a korg M01 song, and i think it's a good example of one might be able to achieve with a more chip styled approach:

I basically tried to throw at this song every trick i learned from my oldschool tracker days.  since the instruments have pretty much no modulation whatsoever (other than adjusting attack/release times),  you have to spend a lot of time humanizing parts as much as possible, adjusting note lengths and velocities down to the note, to make it not sound like cheezy karaoke music.

generally, I feel that if your approach is to evoke the style of 16-bit games then you can actually get pretty good results.  a lot of the sound sets are included in the M01 are reminiscent of that era.   (actually as i was plotting down notes in the piano rolls the experience reminded me a lot of pxtone.)  but don't be surprised if you have trouble getting the M01 to sound good with any post-80's genre of electronic music.

i am thankful for this thread, not for the subject matter but because it made me fondly remember this

hey tim can you set something up where we can turn the feature back on at will?  some of us like it that way!!

DATABEEENNNNNNDDDDD

Legitimate question: what are you required to do for your assignment?

Is this a music course where you have to submit music that you've written?  if so, i think you should consider more heavily the compositional aspects of your pieces.  Is the song interesting simply because you've categorized it as chipmusic?  or because you were able to convey complex musical concepts that are more universal, like attention to melody, harmony, rhythm and counterpoint?

Is your assignment one in which your goal is to educate your professors and class about chipmusic?  Then by submitting your own music, you might be missing the point (unless you are supremely confident that your songs represent some of the best that chip as an artform has to offer). maybe it's a better idea to curate some songs by other artists that together demonstrate the sophistication and stylistic variety of chipmusic as a medium.

I just want you to do well in your assignment   and also that you do your best not to misrepresent the artform and the community...  it would be a shame if your class was left with the impression that chipmusic is not mindblowing.
