this place needs a "new 2 chipmusic" section - maybe even something at the top thats like "are you new to chipmusic?" ~

I think it doesn't and people should read the stickies.

- edit - I could edit that sticky and make it even more hand holdy and expand it a bit to cover a few more common questions.

@bucky I tried to post a message on tumbler but wasn't able to for some reason.

Im super interested in Megadrive / Genesis sound. The YM2612 has an internal DAC which I think is a bit unique? My feeling is the sound is a bit more crunchy than other similar 4op sin only chips, is this correct? Im also curious about the Megadrive PSG. The PSG seems to interfere with the YM2612 a bit, almost as if the PSG is way louder, especially when using all 3 tonal channels. Do you know any good things to bear in mind to keep both chips working nicely together? Are there any MD soundtracks which use the psg in interesting ways? Sorry if this is a bit of a nerdy question....

Blog RULES!

I was just hoping for Peczynskifest.

That is it! There are soooo many hidden jems of awesomeness on there,

My set up in my current apartment hums like a mother fucker because there aren't any accessible ground points. The only plug socket with a ground is on the balcony with the washing machine, it is a really odd building about 40 years (pre historic here) old which was originally offices and kind of badly converted to apartments.

In a month I am moving to a new place which has grounded plugs in every room, yay! my set up is basically, a few synth modules, a couple of game consoles, powered speakers, mackie mixer, PC and Monitor. I assume. My plan is to just buy a power strip with a ground, plug the monitor/PC/mixer into the grounded power strip then plug the strip into the grounded plug. I assume this is a good idea?

Reason I ask is, as far as I can work out, ground loops are where items are being grounded to different points, my (very very) rudimentary knowledge of electrics assumes that a grounded power strip counts as a single ground point?

A couple of other questions, I am 99 percent sure, after unplugging various items in turn, that the problem is the PC but aside from the PC/Mixer and monitor, are there any other items which are likely to need grounding?

Last one! can safely (hum wise I mean, I know it won't explode) mix, grounded and non grounded items in the same power strip grounded powerstrip?

Also do I win the prize for repetition of the work "ground" in a single post?

Didnt bucky also have a tumber called exploder?

There are TONS of battery driven small mixers, but none with 3-band EQ.

Ive been looking for one the last three years.

There is a passive mixer aimed at DJs with a 3 band EQ, im blanking on the name though. Prof or starpause would know.

This is 2 band and USB powered http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Ik-Multi … g-MIX.html

I love how each new Jellica release is just a little bit more refined, a little bit more elegant. Dude is really honing his music.
