If you have a WAV instrument set up to play pingpong, loop, etc., you can delete all instances of the instrument except the first one and as long as your repeat is set to F, the synth will keep cycling through the frames without resetting.

I had no idea you could do this, this has literally changed my whole life!

I think a lot of people don't, especially considering LSDJ add the instrument back in even if you just change the note.

It works for anything on the WAV, including hand-drawn PWMs, wubs, whatever.

It works on the pulse and noise channels too.  Say you're running a table on the pulse and you want to change the note without retriggering the table, just delete the instrument.  Note changes, table (or envelope) continues uninterrupted.

"chip hop" should be more of a thing than it is. dunno if anybody should ever call it that, though

The trouble with that subgenre is that if you put the words together (Chiphop) some people might pronounce if "chifop" by accident.  Which is why, to this very day, it remains a little-explored region of the ocean.

Great initiative, but how about a unified post and just updating the topic title? You have made four of these posts in a couple of weeks. You could keep the op updated with links to new articles and have a single post for people to find everything.

Oh!  I actually didn't even know I could modify the topic title.  >_< 

I'll just do that in the future.  Thanks for the heads-up.

I wish I still lived in Austin. I bought a DMG from Game Over in 2006.  Sounds like fun.

For me the only real loss is the music.

So many things that I favourited but never downloaded hmm

Was thinking about putting together some podcast things of the things that I did download though.

Same for me.  Especially those one-song wonders whose names you can't remember.

I was thinking about starting like an 8bc memorial Youtube channel of all the songs I downloaded that I can't find anywhere else.

I remember when we were amazed that there were 10,000 members.

Spoiler: The site probably still only has about 10000 real members. Back when I was still admin there, I made some statistics about this. It turned out that 60% or so of the user accounts were unused. No forum posts, no music/images, not even music/image comments, and never logged in after first signup. I suspect most/all of these accounts were spam accounts that never got past the first step in the registration.

I would have guessed a lot less than 10,000.  I had a song at number one for like 3 weeks and that was 600 something plays.  If you asked me I would have guessed maybe 1,500 active users listening to the tunes.

(edit: by that I mean regular users, not people that drop by once a month.)
