I guess we've arrived at the classic underground impasse re: money and steady living > or < artistic integrity. Though it's not IAYD's integrity in question, but his fans... and how the hell can someone control that (other than maybe choosing which outlets you allow your media through).
In the end, it doesn't matter... disregard haters, acquire what you want.
Paging CountSymphonic. I know this goes beyond Genesis hardware, but I'm interested to know how this could possibly fit in with Prodigy (though it'd likely be a pain to rehash sound drivers).

This is amazing. Go IAYD! Go chipmusic!
Awesome! Wish I had the cash:(
Great! Looking forward to it:)
damn son, that's so exciting. I'm not as seasoned as animal style, but I consider myself a decent genesis track-ist. If you need more testers, of course. Love to experiment and give opinions:)
WOOOOO! Hello woooooorld.
Awh maaaan this is so damn coooool.
Glad to see that "I don't care" prevailed over "hardware is an absolute must"
Works now for me.
Awesome post! Thanks for reading and engaging with my work!
Re: 8bc & tctd: I would say that there were definitely negative aspects, but I think my thought process was to point to the fact that "we shall overcome." Chipmusic was probably hurt, but wasn't rid of. Plus, I'm sure there were definitely some positives to come out of the fall of 8bc & tctd. These community sites definitely did't (and don't) define the art, just acted as networking resources. The less networking, the less progress, but aren't there positives? These are good thoughts.
Re: new tools: I think what I meant by this was that chipmusic is bound to technology by nature. The more software that comes out for what we consider now to be low-res, the more the community might grow. I don't think I could see the community suffering from the release of a particular technology? Unless that tech makes what we use somehow obsolete (i.e. VSTs?). But isn't that kind of the point? obsolete tech? So maybe that doesn't carry weight. You're so right in thinking that at some point or another, certain tech begins to fall out of the realm of contemporary, and into the realm of vintage. Also an inherent part of CM. Good thoughts all around!
Thanks!
So basically I only use numbers other than "1" when it's not a traditional quarter beat. For me it simplifies what you're thinking about because even counting is still an active mathematical process that takes mental ability. This makes it really easier for me to write and play the super complicated stuff because you're no longer adding up numbers to the bar but taking the "buffer size" down to a single beat and working from there. That's how the Tera Melos guys do it sometimes and it's how they're able to seamlessly add/remove a beat into certain parts. They're not focused on the groove of the measure but instead each individual beat.
Damn, that's refreshing to read! I can't help but count/feel by groove, as my brain has been "wired" that way since I was young with music lessons/school. Counting individual beats is often something music students do to work through difficult patterns, but there's this attitude that says their not encouraged to do that all the time, because they have to learn about different time signatures. If they stick with counting individual beats, they won't know that 6/8 is supposed to be a compound rhythm made up of two pulses of 3 eighth notes, so the "groove" is felt as two main beats.
In music with complex meters, individual counting is a necessity! What you've said is a great exercise, and I'll have to try and train my brain to think more like that:) But playing the devil's advocate, I don't think I could do that while trying to play a bossa nova, etc. My brain just goes right to the feel of rhythm over longer periods of time.
Cool discussion:)
thanks for posting this! i was wondering what had become of your thesis
can't wait to read through it
Ya, the end of the year was such a blur to me, I spaced on actually sharing my thoughts with the community. Wasn't until I filled out someone's survey here that I decided to put it up. Thanks for contributing, Kitsch 
Whoa, very well put together!
I have to admit, it can be strange reconciling the idea that I am a cited authority on these subjects, I haven't been doing it as long as others. I can only speak from anecdotal experience, luckily I've found my conclusions are usually shared by others.
Thanks a bunch! Well, I'd say someone who's been accepted to do a TEDx talk (in any subject matter), most likely has the stuff of critical thought. So, I'm very happy to cite you in the paper!
I'm glad you shared this, it's very well done!
d'awh, thanks
Very cool. I meant to ask you about this at one point, this should be an interesting read.
Thanks!
Page 11 discusses a trend in chipmusic growth through development of software for hardware with hardly any compositional tools (i.e. 16bit technologies). Your current work with the genesis is a perfect example of this! People like you keep the culture from being stagnant.
I had never gotten the chance to formally release/share my thesis with you folks. Wrote this a year or so ago during my last year of attending university.
The paper deals with elements of networking which keep low-resolution art sustainable. Topics include online and offline networking (social networking), importance of learning resources, and the popular culture 'debate'.
Interviewed in the paper are the following artists:
Goto80
Danimal Cannon
cTrix
Bit Shifter
Arnie Holder
4mat
Kitsch
Amphibious
Within the paper are multiple references to examples included in a "media pack". This was given to my marking professors. If there's a want, I can upload the media to google drive or some such place. As for now, most links to the content are provided at the end of the paper under works cited.
Link to the paper:
Feel free to share this with any and all if you have the urge. part of my effort was just to see some academic research concerning chipmusic. Another part was to write a thesis that referenced chipmusic trolls... only joking. Kinda.
Thanks for taking the time, and I hope you enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed writing it, and thanks again to those who took the time to get involved with my project.
Cheers.
