I've sold my soul by strictly playing dance music and playing my tracks with smooth transitions, like a DJ would (like Henry Homesweet would, actually). Judge me however you will.

And what is wrong with that? I worked my ass off for years to finally manage to do my liveset exactly like that (of course nobody hears my sets tongue). I am not a band. It doesn't make sense to me to stop after every song or to let them play all the way to the end.

So thats it then? it came and went?

It still happens. We (KeFF, Kodek and I) played Strøm in Copenhagen barely a month ago. To name one.
The problem is, in USA, "electronic music" means Skrillex and deadmau5, and those are the "festivals" you get.

If you want a real, high level electronic music festival near your area, do yourself a favour and go next year to Mutek in Montréal (where, lo and behold, Bubblyfish and Glomag have performed in the past).

I still don't get it, and the fact that my Libretto is refusing to run AT2 pisses me off enough not to use it.

I really would love to see chiptune artists break into electronic musical festivals.  I don't see why that wouldn't be a good thing and/or work mixed in with regular electronic musicians.

This has happened many times already, for years.

Hi Zoe,

Nice one, more tools like this are needed.
However, I got a question: why the arbitrary sample rate?
8363 Hz corresponds to C-2. What if the original sample is not even a C? I think a choice would be better.
The default landing note of ProTraker is C-3, too. Perhaps is best to work with that value (16726Hz) although that's mostly for when you want higher quality samples that you won't be pitching up much. The solution to this problem is always complicated (there's thousands of detunes module files from back in the day because of problems with sample rates and notes and shit)

I sent from my domain which is routed through GOOGLE so google groups SHOULD accept it, but it doesn't. Arse. Maybe you should find a different method for that if it brings trouble.

I emailed my submission to hexawe ]á7[ gmail.c0m in hope anyone checks that.

Bunch of guys you never heard of:

I hope Krikz is more conscious of the utility of this cart than he was with the original Megadrive Everdrive, where the use of TFC files is cumbersome and unreliable.

Help me stop my poverty temporarily. You know you want to make your untz untz on this fine specimen.

Oh, so you confused the Genesis A/V port for a MIDI port...

Hello! I wonder if there is any way to use the midi-interface on the Sega Genesis, I don't understand what it's for...

There's no MIDI interface on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. That is what GENMDM is for.

Epic lineup is certainly epic.

While I'm not in the biz, it's hard to NOT notice how common this is. It's in movie soundtracks, commercials, trailers, jingles, elevators..

By the way, I read all of this "if Disney this, if Disney that"... This was more than probably outsourced in part or in full and not created in-house at Disney.
When you provide "creative" work like this, you sign off your client from any legal responsibility regarding the originality of the content provided. This always goes on your contract or rights waiver.
So even if you were following a brief you, as the maker of that piece and ultimately the "rip off", will be held legally responsible and not your client.

where you go wrong is your "this happens everyday" attitude

No, sorry, I work in the creative industry (this isn't an industry right here in chipmusic.org) for about 12 years now and this IS common, every day fare. You get it sold every day on varied channels. Is it right? I didn't say it was right. But it's a reality.

I didn't come at this as pro-sample or pro-collage (both things I don't do much of), I came to it with a real perspective in mind, knowing that I have actually worked in a multimedia giant akin to Disney for a considerable amount of time and have as such first-hand knowledge of how these things get made and the legal implications (or lack thereof) of doing something like this and, as such, believe that the healthiest move is not to do anything.
