If the music I make isn't what I want to make I go: "Oh that sucks"

Erase the section (or entire piece) and start again.  Some of my best work comes from when I realize a part is going NOWHERE and starting over.

Totally...I do the same. If you aren't diggin' it, you can't expect others to either right?

This one was a computer music album, predecessor of chiptune, but technically not a chiptune yet, because no dedicated sound chips were used (as far as I know from description of the devices). Early sound chips appeared circa 1978, so I think the first legitimate chiptune album could not be earlier or too near to the date.

It's possible that there were no dedicated sound chips...so this is tube music? lol

Well I guess this thread is about "Computer" Music more than "Chip"...maybe I can change the title...

Was it the First Philadelphia Computer Music Festival album?

Or has anyone found one older than this 1978/1979 release?

I'm not entirely sure I understand this thread. I mean I understand that you want a whole count of units, but...

How would putting our hardware in our profiles help? That would mean having to individually visit each profile. There are much better ways to make a count. Maybe make a new thread with a preset layout of things for people to list.

You wouldn't have to visit any profiles. You would just go to the "gear counter" page and see the totals. The site counts them, not the user. smile

The point was to get an accurate number tally for each system registered by users. I think even owning 100, but only using one would still be fine by me in this tally. So you could click total of C64's registered and it would say 1,234. That's interesting to me and to see it grow or shrink over time.

Is there another chip that could be used besides the Ym or SID? Something with a new sound that hasn't been used so much before?

It'd be hard to keep it from being how many people "have" versus how many they've "used".  I've got a box full of DMGs but I can't claim to be using any of them.  tongue

Good point

Not sure it would be that interesting, but did you notice song uploads have tags?

Yeah I knew that but it doesn't give you an accurate count of how many dmg's a person has. I know some people have 6 or 7. I know this sounds crazy, but I would like to know what the count is for any of the most used systems are. If I'm the only one who ever wanted to know this information, no big deal. smile

It would be interesting to know how many chip devices are in use total by patrons of this site alone. If people could register what consoles and computers they use on their profile that would rock. Then you could see a grand total of how many DMGs, C64s' etc are being used by this community.

It would be great to make a cart with a SID chip on the board. Then run the 3 channels of SID audio out the 1 line to the DMG, with LSDJ running all 7 channels! FRANKENCHIP!
