In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of NES programming. First, a detailed overview of the NES: the CPU and instruction set, graphics, and sound. After that you’ll have the chance to make your own graphics and music. Finally, you’ll insert these elements into a provided game framework. Source code and software will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop with Windows XP or higher.
Prior knowledge of the NES isn’t required, but a basic understanding of programming techniques and the use of a tracker for music creation wouldn’t hurt.
this is freaking awesome news!! i was perfectly happy with just enjoying the tuneskis, but now i get to get my code on too!
getting into the NES internals has been on my to-do list for a while.

just chiming in to say that i'm interested in any pre/aftershows! also willing to play for a show if any are willing to accommodate - i'd feature some spry DS-10 liveplaying AND PERHAPS some LSDJ stuff i've got cooking.

maybe a Chipmusic 101 article might be useful for the uninitated in getting their facts straight?
I have one in portuguese, I can add it. And there is some in spanish too, which are in the culturachip wiki
that brings up another potentially interesting idea: a reference of chipmusic-related terms in different languages?
cause like what's BRK in spanish?

Re: Specific sounds that you love/hate (81 replies, posted in General Discussion)
LOVESES:
- anything with a low pass filter on it
- inspired variations of stutter/retrig sequences
- PWM square of course
- quiet whispery shibuya-kei girl vocals
- supersaw
- rhodes
- that crunchy C64 snare sound from commando (bonus points if you add the kick to punch out the snare even more)
- super-reverbed claps that accompany a snare just before the "next section" of a song
- the phasing brass sound that's always in those Carl Sagan videos
- the snare used in Ninja Gaiden 2 for NES - that's the crispest snare i've ever heard in NES history. OBSERVE:
HATESES:
- general midi or adlib sounds - some of them sound like really annoying bells that way have too much on the high end
- by extension, 80% of sega genesis/megadrive sounds. i think someone mentioned it already but there's this really cheezy instrument that everyone tries to pass off as an overdriven guitar but ends up sounding weaksauce.
- the default DS-10 sounds that come with every blank song
- lil jon "AWWW YEAH"s

Re: bryface - HOW TO DODGE LASERS : full-length DS-10 album (5 replies, posted in Releases)
oh yeah i nearly forgot about this thread. thanks for the feedback guys! i'm glad you appreciate the album as a whole because i put a lot of effort into it.
anyway, SHAMELESS BUMP because i finally got off my ass and re-released the album on bandcamp: http://bryface.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-dodge-lasers
Also, i've been getting around to uploading youtube vids again. Here's track #3 ("evolving") in Y3WTOUBZ form:
this also serves as a tutorial of sorts about what would be involved in a DS-10 live performance (this song pretty much has to be played live because it's impossible to play in song mode). i'll upload more videos over the coming weeks.
