Also, stage props are stupid.

I agree, but there's lots of stuff out there [...] Gatari.

Callng the gAtari a stage prop

Also, LOL @ all the butthurt about stage props.
Trv chip-heads stand on stage with a laptop/Game Boy, slightly nodding their heads and generally being boring as fuck.

I enjoyed it.

So, I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to all this, but is the TL;DR version "with little-scale's MIDI Mega Drive interface, and Aly James's VST thingyamabobberoo, we can have full control over the Mega Drive sound chips using our favourite VST-friendly DAW"?

CHEAP MODE - Buy a Mega Drive I, they have a headphone jack pre-built in!

1.  stop using so many pentatonic scales
2.  melody lead lines need to have rests so as not to fatigue the listener's attention.  quite often i hear songs where melody lines just go on forever, snaking every which way, with no pause.  the longer the melody line, the harder the brain to retain it in its entirety until an "end" is perceived - at which point it can then start to file and categorize it mentally.

that's is the extent of the highly biased and uninformed advice that i can give in this highly contentious thread

To add to this, I think one of the Anamanaguchi guys said they sang stupid nonsensical lyrics to come up with their melodies - I think it makes sense to think of your main melody as a "vocal line" if you will, and when you listen to songs with lyrics it's not someone 'go[ing] on forever, snaking every which way, with no pause'.

I would be interested in one of these maybe idk what's the price n shit?

Also, more relevant for chiptune types, Minusbaby, Goto80 and Raquel Meyers are going to be involved in the games as well!

Yup, it's working now, cheers!

When I go on the DefleMask website, it forwards to http://falcondigitizing.com/hmod.html and Firefox says it's a "Reported Attack Page" - what's the deal?
