people can play arpeggios pretty fast tho

think about what an arpeggio actually is -- it's literally just a broken chord. arpeggios don't "simulate" chords, they ARE chords

I think what you mean is less simulating CHORDS and more simulating polyphony, in which case you'll probably want to take a look at j.s. bach's two and three part inventions as an early form of that

nooo I double posted on accident someone delete this

i'm saying this as someone who literally works in the video game industry

the worst part about making chiptune is videogames

I've had success with using a raspi as a midi host syncing my DMGs and my electribe, and it's not hard to set up so that it automatically sets up the connections on bootup

why is it that when anyone asks you a question in good faith or tells you something you immediately deflect it and tell the person asking that they're wrong?

we're just trying to help but you're acting like a brat about it

I'm honestly surprised you haven't been banned yet considering your shitty attitude toward everyone here

gonna give my obligatory music theory spiel here

a lot of what jaffacakemexica's approach to music theory demonstrates is the (mistaken but understandable) belief that music theory is an objective, unchanging thing

music theory wasn't created FOR music, it was created BECAUSE of music. it's merely a means to describe music to another person in a way that allows conversation outside of pure aesthetics. so instead of talking about "whoa wasn't it cool when the song sounded like this and then suddenly it sounded like that", we're talking in terms of chord progressions and cadences and phrases. music theory is just the reasoning behind why things sound the way they do; music theory is not THE REASON things sound the way they do. read that very carefully!

and in any case a lot of what people talk about when they mention music theory is literally just western notation. music can be notated in all sorts of different ways that still make sense to people. in fact a lot of modern music technology is revolutionary because it changes the way we think about music notation! otherwise we'd still be producing music in sibelius and who wants to do that

it's really really important to keep this in perspective

dude I JUST told you what accidentals were and you go off and use it wrong again! accidentals are written next to the notes and NOT the key signature because they are literally notes that don't normally belong in the key signature! why do you think they're called accidentals?

this is you confusing scales with keys again! A piece can't be in the key of e melodic minor because e melodic minor is a description of a scale that starts on e, NOT a key! a key is literally just the note where the composer wants to center the piece around

I took 15 years of classical piano and music theory, and I STILL know less than some of the people you're saying are wrong and yet you have the gall to visit Wikipedia a few times and have that be enough for you to act like a Real Jerk

how do you get to be this deluded?
