I used several different chips, but you can be sure they are legit 8-bit and 16-bit chips.

The idea of the music is more about the arrangements, the melodies & the progressions. It's more about bringing the vibe of classic videogame soundscapes rather than trying too hard to sound like it came straight out of a Sega Megadrive.

LOL gave it another listen.  I think you're full of it, or else you would have actually said what you used instead of LEGITCHIPS.

This doesn't at all take away from the music but I'm starting to question your character.  My money is on FLStudio

If you set the S command and the P command to do similar pitch bends, you'll notice that the S command has a choppiness to it, and the P command is a nice SMOOTH pitch bend.

This couldn't be more wrong.

The only people that care about that are here, if the music wants a wider acceptance on it's own merits it should distance itself from the process of how the music is made. Pretty much every chip article sounds like an excerpt from Sound on Sound and we're past the point where it's the journalist's fault.

Listen, I have zero issue with discussing music on a purely musical level, but I feel like the process, when correctly portrayed, enhances how someone might feel about it. It's sort of like comparing demos to Hollywood CGI.  Do you think during the comparison they're not going to mention "oh by the way this is only 64k".

* don't publicise your work only in the chip community..

* remember, nobody gives a damn what you wrote it on if they like it. (and don't go on about what hardware you use, using X to make Y stopped being a novelty years ago and stops the music being the focus.

These are in direct competition.  I still play for people all the time who find the Chiptune creation process to be 'novel' (or novelty). I still find joy in telling other people about my music process and WHY I do it.  I guess I don't have a problem with it because I'm not afraid of my music standing on its own, explaining the process only enhances it, if the person cares to know.
