guh, you get my point, nick
my point is that single mp3's don't get a lot of action here no matter who you are. personally, i think that's fine.
however, check out the releases board on here. lots of action there.
The difference is that you can actually get your music heard at 8bc because the music is on frontpage, on 8bc eveybody gets listens and comments, here - if your not anamanaguchi, you get 5 listens. I don't care that the forums are a little more 4chanlike, the music is there.
anamanaguchi's only song on this site has only one reply.

Thanks, that is super helpful. I'm writing my first chiptune and am already finding a need for lower bass and more tracks! Searching local thrift stores for old bricks :-)
the variable speed knob mod can produce some awesome effects when you sync two gameboys. depending on which is the master, it does some different shit!
Neil Voss makes great music.
some pics! by jim dewitt aka chipmusic.org member "PK". here are some of J. ARTHUR KEENES.

i might be into one of those gameboy bags. pics!
looks pretty decent to me!
i am also curious!
the more i learn about nintendo programming, the more mind blowing it is what you're able to do with it.
this is great! all of it! please keep making stuff like this!
thank you!

This show is at the Dress Barn in Rochester and if you don't know where that is, then send me a message here and I'll get you the address!
Show starts at 8pm and there's a suggested donation of 3 bucks.
you can put mgb on a regular gb cart and it'll work on a gba. i don't know if the midi stuff works or not, i've never tried it.
where's the best place to buy chips / sockets?
$4015 is the voice enable register and uses bits 0 to 4 to enable Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle, Noise and DCM respectively.
Binary Hex Voice %00000001 $01 Pulse 1 %00000010 $02 Pulse 2 %00000100 $04 Triangle %00001000 $08 Noise %00010000 $10 DCMTo figure out the value to write to $4015 just add up the values. For example, to enable the two Pulse voices, you write $03 to $4015 ($01 + $02). The APU is generally initialised with a value of $0F which enables the first four voices ($01 + $02 +$04 +$08 = $0F).
DCM differs slightly in that it requires you to turn the voice off and back on again to actually play the sample. In Don's code, he's not using any of the other voices so he doesn't need to turn them on, hence the $00 write (and probably $10 somewhere further down the code to start the sample playing).
So for you, instead of writing #$00 to $4015, write #$0F. This leaves the first four voices on but clears the enable bit for DCM, as is required. Then to start the sample write #$1F to $4015.
Make sense?
yes, that makes perfect sense. i'll try it out and post my results.
and seriously, thank you so much for helping me out.
hey neil, if you've got a second i have a quick question.
i want to include some dpcm samples in one of my programs. so, i checked out the source code of no carrier's program "lickshot" - http://www.no-carrier.com/index.php?/lickshot/
it seems pretty easy to understand and i was able to get it working in my program just fine. but here's my problem. no carrier's code starts off by writing #$00 to $4015. this ends up muting whatever other audio i have going on in my program at that point.
i was working on a simple program where the buttons of the first player controller would play chords and single notes on the pulse and triangle channels, while the buttons of the second player controller would play drum sounds on the noise and dpcm channels. so, if the first player wants to hold a note out for an extended period of time, it gets silenced whenever the second player triggers one of the samples.
i was wondering what you'd suggest in this instance. i'm probably missing something extremely obvious. thanks for the help in advance!
