Have to echo the sentiments above. To me it seems like chiptune is more alive than it's been in years - at least in Europe. There are plenty of relatively new artists who are gigging regularly. No, there may not be any extremely well known names like Anamanaguchi, Unicorn Kid, or even folk like Chipzel etc again, but that's because they were around early on - and that is natural.
Yes. I need to chime back in after my negative comment above to say I think chip is doing just fine and has more exposure than ever. Nothing needs reviving
I think Chiptunes = Win did their damnedest to scare off everyone who wasn't already into it or is a massive "I'M A GEEK LOL" type of person.
I had to completely remove myself from any interaction with them 'cause I'd just end up coming off as an angry asshole. I mean, I am an angry asshole a lot of the time but I'd rather not advertise it.
This video is a raw LSDJ recording from the excellent emulator "My OldBoy!" for Android made using the "Game Launcher" Galaxy app. It shows various settings and screens used in the song. No narration, just flipping around as the music plays.
The MidiJoy lets you control the sound of the 2600 (or other device) directly from your computer just like it was a rack mount synth module or something. There's no joystick use or on screen interface. It's far more powerful than synthcart but also far more complicated.
SOLD: complete Atari 2600 music setup including 2600 "Junior" with new power supply and a/v mod kit (not installed), Harmony Cart SD version with card, and MidiJoy interface with all cables
