"Sound: 2 square wave generators, 1 PCM 4-bit wave sample (64 4-bit samples played in 1x64 bank or 2x32 bank) channel, 1 noise generator, and one audio input from the cartridge."

Has anyone figured out how to tap that one extra audio input from the cartridge yet?

C64 has the meanest bass. I know, it's not a console, but...

Your choice is totally valid, I did say computer or console. smile

Yeah, I was thinking just in the 8 bits or less console/computer kingdom wise, ya know? Both of those synths have phat bass!

And yes, the Apple II DMS Drummer actually has a pretty phat kick to it for 1 bit playback!

Yes you can.

have you tried it? i've gone on a couple sites to check, clicking buy  just redirects to the bandcamp page.

Yeah, It takes you to the purchasing site. It would be great if all the commerce & downloading happened on your site too.

HI Everyone,

I think it's fair to say that Bandcamp.com is probably one of the most awesome internet  tools for musicians/artst ever created.

I just have one small gripe: When you have their embedded player on your website, the free tracks don't show as being "free" with text like they do on a band's yourbandnamehere.bandcamp.com page. Having the free download text on your embedded player helps fans enjoy the free sample tunes off the grid and allows for others to discover your artistry in a friends car, at a party, on a plane, or in Timbaland's studio.

I sent them an email requesting that the "free" tracks show up on the embedded players the same way they do on the bandcamp main retail site. They replied "We don't display the 'free' label next to free tracks in the embedded player at the moment, no. We may give some thought to this down the line"

If you would like this feature for your own band's embedded player please email them a request too. This would benefit everyone who uses bandcamp.com.

Feel free to drop them a line here: [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

Well done!

Any Chip artists based in the Las Vegas area? We may be putting together an event out there and may be able to add some local talent to the roster.

Cheers,

Thank you!

Thank you! We think it's a good fit as they are focusing on the artistic assets of each game and not the game itself. smile

Hi Everyone,

Just thought we'd let you know about a new art exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) in Washington, D.C. opening March 16th. "The Art of Video Games" will explore the 40-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium (graphics/music/production art/etc). We (8 Bit Weapon & Michelle's solo project ComputeHer) were asked to provide some chipmusic to be used as a soundtrack at the entrance to the exhibition. The exhibit will be at SAAM for 6 months, the it will tour for another 5 years around the country. We'll also be performing at the grand opening if you wanna come out and party in D.C. us!

Here is the official "The Art of Video Games" Press Release: http://americanart.si.edu/pr/library/20 … elease.pdf

Please visit the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s website for information about "The Art of Video Games" exhibition: http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/a … 012/games/

We hope to see you there!
