"Welcome to Chuggtune.........."
As 100HandSlap, Michael Routledge combines chip elements with heavy metal instrumentation and powerful vocals to produce a signature sound that both lofi-electronic fans and rock aficionados can instantly appreciate but with enough depth to suck you deep into his Chuggtune® world. Crank it up, soak it in, and find yourself hoping that "Year One" is just one of many to come!
Download includes lyrics, alternate cover, and LSDJ-only versions of all 4 tracks.

Hugo & Zoe (Vocal & DMG1+Nanoloop) are playing gigs since 2007 and they are not labeled here on Chipmusic or wasn't labeled on 8bc.
Ondřej also make some stuf with Arduinos and make Custom gameboys (Prosounding, Backlighting etc...), circuitbent and they cooperate with fashion shop called Minimon.
Oh neat! I'm glad I checked this thread now, those instruments are really cool.

Re: Condensing all CC threads into one master CC thread (29 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There already is a cc request flag. Notice how often it is used.
Example:
This track has requested cc but I can't know that until I've already opened it. Not just clicked on it to reveal the player but actually opened the track url: http://chipmusic.org/windlepoonz/music/improved
For the cc'ers to be satisfied I think we need a visible sign that cc has been requested right next the song title like the "energy meter" is.
OR a way to do it with no extra coding or anything would be direct anyone looking to give cc to a cc'er to the cc request filter like dis:

What is the PiXi-200?
The PiXi-200 is designed to expand the I/O capabilities of the Raspberry Pi and provide a low-cost means of introducing the user to the world of digital electronics and FPGA technology while at the same time give the 'Pi enthusiast' a little more to play with or even provide a basis for some product development.

Re: Condensing all CC threads into one master CC thread (29 replies, posted in General Discussion)
CC threads are redundant since the music uploads have a "request cc" option. Delete all cc threads and instruct posters to upload and mark songs instead. Maybe an icon beside the song name at the top of the page and in the music section to denote cc requests.
I want to highlight and emphasize this idea one more time before "cc rage" fades and then comes back in a month or so.
Moving all cc to the music section would:
1. end all the cc threads (a win for everyone)
2. place more attention on the music section
3. spur more interaction in the music section rather than just consumption
The only thing needed is some kind of flag that shows a "cc request" without having to open the item. And to just lock the cc forum with a stickied thread explaining the change.

They did this before with the MS-20 midi controller/software package. I wonder if this is the exact same form factor but with actual guts inside.

Re: Your thoughts on the chip music community (213 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There are emulators for EVERYTHING and they can output files for hardware. Also, and I'm guilty of this too, saying "just samples" ignores a huge chunk of chiptune history... hell, "chiptune" as a word originally referred to using small single-cycle SAMPLES. Also, Fast Tracker II ... Impulse Tracker ... LGPT ... knowwutimeanvern?
If new peeps were even more strongly pushed towards trying emulators and dos trackers before getting any hardware at all then we would probably see a much more interesting variety of tunes being made rather than such a gameboy-centric situation.
Disclaimer: Thinking that everybody using gb's is boring assumes that the compositions would be better on other hardware and obviously that's not true.

I'm playing around with Reality Adlib but the documentation is pretty short and sweet. If you (O2star) or anyone else could give me some more info on these points I'd appreciate it:
1. What is "algorithm" in the instrument editor?
2. Does this tracker have access to the "percussion channels" like AD2?
3. Any way I can change either the color palette or font? shits hard to read, yo
Thanks!

Re: Your thoughts on the chip music community (213 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I think the perceived "hardware or its fake" attitude pushes newcomers towards the cheapest and easiest to find platform which is obviously gameboy. The same attitude prevents new and sonetimes old chippers from considering all the great dos options which anyone can run totally for free. I dont have a solution, just saying its a shame. :'(
