http://chipmusic.org/an-cat-max/music so things are slowly coming together. and by slowly I mean pretty fast considering we just launched the site 2 & 1/2 weeks ago
Something like:
would be useful in my opinion. Since http://www.chipmusic.org/trash80/music already exists, I can't imagine it would be too hard to add a link to the profiles (maybe I'm wrong, though). 
I already heard Subway Sonicbeat's track, it's great, now I will download the rest.

In FL Studio, you click the "MIDI learn" button, twist any knob on screen, and then twist a knob on your MIDI controller, and it's done, and takes effect instantly. Does it really get more elegant and simple than that?

[20:42:18] <Theta_Frost> you should post your little pc engine thread on chipmusic d00d
PC Engine is without a doubt the best sounding console ever created (in my opinion), and using it will make your chip music sound better. 
So here's a collection of tools (MML compiler, wave editor, player, stuff), music and documentation I put together for people who are new to it.

This stuff is windows only, although you can do it on a mac too. If you have any questions, or it doesn't work or you hate me then just post it in this thread or something.
Yes, making music for fun and getting famous as a result is very different to making music to get famous and having fun as result. Re: 8bitweapon, I don't think everyone who makes music is doing it to get attention - I suspect mostly, people make a song for enjoyment, and then listen and decide they want to share it on the internet, rather than sitting down and saying to themselves "now I will make a song to upload at chipmusic.org".

Usually, the main CPU of the machine that hosts the synthesizer is the one that dictaminates if it's "8-bit" or not. The Atari ST has a 16 bit processor so it obviously leads to confusions. Is YM music really 8-bit music by 'our' definition? If we are changing all the time, we will get confused 
(the SID is not really an 8-bit chip, if we are looking only at the soundchip...)
Well, MSX2 (yes, I know this thread is about Atari, I just like to be pedantic ) has YM2149 and Z80 processor, so there's still a few "8-bit YM2149 musicians", whichever way you look at it.
edit: and also "8-bit YM2149 musicians" is ambiguous enough to mean either "musicians using the 8-bit YM2149" as well as "8-bit musicians using the YM2149", so I think there is no problem. Sorry for the off topic!!

I don't wanna be a boring negative moaner, but I believe there's no such thing.
What do you mean? I don't understand. It's an 8-bit chip. It has 8-bit registers and an 8-bit data bus.
I don't like their music but I don't really mind if they want to make money from it.

people always fuck this up
I always thought "I could care less" was just the American way of saying it, haha.
Hehe, an automated databending tool? I'm glad we don't have an Image section here, then. Cool little experiment though!
Maybe you have to build it yourself - there are makefiles in there so I guess it won't be too hard. I have no idea what it all is though, I don't have a Mac, I just assumed it was what Big-Chip said it was. Sorry if it's the wrong stuff! 
Maybe Big-Chip will see this thread and explain.
I use Psycle sometimes, it's a really similar tracker, I think it can even use the same Machines (as well as VSTs and samples).

Oh, me and Arlen were discussing in IRC whether or not NSF export was possible - it's nothing!
Hehe, finally we can have an answer to our debate from months ago!
Schism tracker also runs on Mac. Sunvox is a good suggestion. If you have DosBox and it works nicely then there's a whole load of trackers you can run in there, so you should try that out too.
boring machine wrote:Yes indeed, but what defines nanoloop for me is more the interface and the sequencer (more precisely, the way you interact with the sequencer). If this was supposed to be a completely different beast, I suppose Oliver would have chosen a different name .
If what defines it is the interface, why do you care that the sound is different?
