Hey Ya'll. Im Amunex, I'm a professional Chilean Drummer and I'm new to this forum.

Skipping the introduction, I want to discuss something with everyone here. What exactly are the limitations Chiptune Artists?

As to why I'm asking this, its pretty simple. I'm working on my thesis. I'm looking for a way to enhance, or bring new comers into this musical area called Chiptune music, or known as midi music down here in SA. By no means have I considered altering the prepossess of Chiptune creation.I find this extravagant and interesting, on how gamers and programmers unite in one spectrum called music. I'm looking for a way to step up the creation  game and/or facilitate the use of live music creation.

What I'm looking for are the limitations. Being in the creation of tunes, to playing live. Anything counts; any experience, situation or problem you might have encountered and/could overcome. I have a general idea of what I want to do, but i want feed back from people that have superior experience in ChupTuning, hence why I arrived to this Forum.

For Example, something I find to be a hindrance in Chiptune Music ( And don't get me wrong, its my opinion as a drummer ) Is the lack of control over the beat. Its repetitive and essentially if you don't have it prepared, the beat will stay the same. Playing live music with musicians, essentially jamming with friends, the drummer has the power to keep and alter the beat and structure. In Chiptune, there is no freedom in percussion, which bother me at least.

Guys, I'm just looking for opinions, and anythings helps.
