Surely if the person can't do the challenge there and then, we should move on and challenge someone else?
No offence to Jellica, but he could be added to the list of people to be challenged at a later date. There are a lot of people who are available right now, it's silly to wait a few days for someone when we could have another challenge done by then.
You're fast becoming the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez / Robert Pollard of chip, little-scale. 
I should of taken some pictures of Enfant Bastard's gear last night. He has some pretty awesome stuff.
this is badass. fuck. i hate the UK
Definitely. When this gig is on I'm going to sit and listen to my Thy Name Is Adventure tape and act out the show with a series of cardboard cutouts.
Good luck guys.
hi folks,
My mssiah cartridge (finally) got here yesterday. Still hadn't the time to read all manuals, only bassline. I'm putting mssiah slaved to ableton live via MIDI. Although I can send midi clock from ableton to mssiah bassline, I can't get it to play the pattern notes I write on ableton. I tried mssiah in both midi notes and midi pattern settings. Anybody has any clue what I'm doing wrong?
thanks!
If you've got the manuals and you haven't read them, why not read them?
He doesn't seem to explicitly say how to do it, but he does offer a few suggestions. Here is a working Mssiah to Ableton.
Also, you might want to contact Smiletron, he said in a post on 8bc that he got Mssiah working with Ableton.
I'm only doing this to be nice, in future, please do some searching yourself. It really didn't take me long to find these things.
I would bring that strings section in way earlier in the song, if I wasn't listening to this to give constructive criticism, I would have not listened that far into the song because it was so repetitive up until that point. The strings section is the best part of the song by far. The rest was okay, but it was degraded by the fact it repeated so much. I would say it definitely needs vocals if you are going to leave it the way it is.
I've got 28 gameboys for no reason.
I'm sure everyone will join me in saying, good for you. 
I don't drink alcohol or do drugs.
I always seem to have cash left over for gear thanks to this.
The key as many people have stated, is only using and owning what you need (to a certain extent). It's much more important to have a setup that works and that you feel best showcases your work.
In short, sometimes more doesn't necessarily mean better. So stop worrying about how much gear you've got and how much it costs, and just focus on writing with what you have. The second I dumped all of the VSTs and guitars, and just started focusing on writing purely on a Game Boy was the best move I ever made.
I've sent you a PM, I'd definitely be interested in this
I was hoping for this as well, it would be a very necessary feature once the music section of this site really takes off.
I've just confirmed a last minute show with Enfant Bastard (and possibly Famikiller and Edward Shallow) at the Forest Cafe in Edinburgh this Friday from 7:30pm onwards. Because of the late booking, I'm a bit short on details, but I imagine this will be a free event as the Forest Cafe's website says that all events are free.
I hope if you're interested in chipmusic in Scotland that you'll come along. Chip events on these shores are few and far between, and I'm always interested in meeting people from the scene.
I had a very similar problem with a Game Boy I bought from Nonfinite actually. Even when I touched the volume switch it would strangely start cutting out the stereo signal to mono, I got a full refund for mine.
If it has always had problems, why have you kept a faulty product for so long?
My first chip gig was last Friday in Dundee with Edward Shallow and Comptroller. I had a great time! The music was well received and the turnout was pretty good (about 30-40 people over the night) considering chip isn't very big in Scotland. Edward Shallow done my visuals, I done his and Comptroller used his VBLANK. Someone actually came over and shook my hand midset after I'd finished playing one of my songs! Haha! That was a nice feeling.
We also met a chip enthusiast called Laurence, who just happened to be the nicest guy ever. He has a blog online and is a massive Random fan. We also met a Scottish nanoloop artist I hadn't noticed on the scene before called Bitface. Comptroller also took some videos of the show, so hopefully they will be online soon! All in all, it was a great night, and I've booked my next show already (29th January in Edinburgh with Enfant Bastard and Famikiller!).
Edit: Now with video footage!
If you click on home then music the list of music does not appear for me.
when you click recent then music, the list appears.
EDIT: Oh wait, it appears to have been fixed.
Hell, my first chip gig is tomorrow! I'll report back on how it went.
