if it is much like c64, you include the bin file with your assembler (there should definitely 100% a way to include bin files) and then jsr to it a lot of times (it probably wants to be called each time the screen refreshs)

Re: Music Influences (57 replies, posted in General Discussion)
the namco sound team and the postman pat theme tune are somewhere
with the vast majority of music being the same (4/4 and major or minor, drums bass chords and leads), it's hard to pick any one band or artist that cursed me with writing 4/4 major/minor drums bass chords leads music, unfortunately. well, i don't seem to have a particularly narrow or unique "style", but it's western popular music post~1950, i guess
HORRIBLY FORMULAIC

Re: a table with information about yamaha FM chips (8 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
thanks shiru, the 6 channels is just a mistake from copy-pasting from another chip i'll fix, thank you
akira^8gb, i did see that one but it;s harder (for me) to make comparisons between chips on such things as channel counts... actually i just find it harder to read in general,. (and why should i care about non-fm chips, tehehehe) it's a nice thing to have though

pretty much anything by Shiru: http://soundcloud.com/shiru/disposal-orbit also check out attack on the mothership and astro force. genius.
pretty much anything by mr. beep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62cnCg5YJVg
And after a listen to these gems I think my point is even further solidified. The only reason these were mentioned is because you assumed that by virtue of my posting on a chiptune site that I would "get" that these are good songs. When in fact they are not "good" (my apologies Shiru and mr. beep) but rather good FOR being made with 1-bit tools. Again subjectivity rears its head, but:
Would these songs be considered "good" if you found out that they were made with LSDJ? or NL2.3? or DS-10? or a modern DAW such as Ableton? I find that proposition utterly laughable. I really don't think that it is "the sound" in these cases, because honestly they sound like shit (maybe in a punk type of way, but shit regardless). I am not proposing that these songs are bad per se, but rather that the people who appreciate them, appreciate them BECAUSE OF the platform they were made on and BECAUSE OF its limitations and they recognize the skill it takes to coax the semblance of a song out of one. [Sorry if I am coming off as harsh, this is not an attack on primate, shiru, or beep, just expressing my perspective. keep doing that voodoo that you do]
i would still like shiru's songs if i found out that the he was lying and they were all made in cubase

Re: Re: Limitation (189 replies, posted in General Discussion)
impulse tracker has sixty four channels. limitations suck
edit: what i mean to say is "i couldn't care less about limitations"... nor nostalgia for that matter. i just like the way it sounds and there is some good music. i am not a nerd who loves to deconstruct things to find the limitations easter egg of the lsdj or?? i just like chiptunes because they sound good. sorry
