Let's spend 10 pages discussing that what the general public knows isn't actually chipmusic.
haha, yes. the funny thing is I'm sure this exact arguement is on every noisecore, EDM, metal and jazz forum as well, which kind of means we "won" being a real genre.

Re: Official events, Compos, Community Building Exercises, etc? (21 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I really wish people would stop treating chipmusic like it's perpetually in some kind of crisis and needs help. I mean seriously we're just like any other music and we don't need special treatment in the slightest. If anything we're in a FAR better position now then we ever were, EVERYBODY knows what this shit is now.

Re: sid music hints'n'tips (18 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
Strange, it's the most versatile noise osc on 8-bit hardware. I remember when the 8-bit consoles came in it was such a disappointment how limited the Nintendo and Sega ones were to work on in comparisom.
One thing you could try is using the 'metal' noise waveforms. This guide has the full list:
$81,$80 = noise waveform. NATIVE WAVEFORM.
$82-$83,$86-$87 = a slight SYNC effect.
$88-$8f = reset noise
$90-$bf = not used (do not use: the noise dies)
$c0..$cf = rare extras(*)
$d0..$ef = not used (do not use: the noise dies)
$f0..$f7 = (*) rare extas: resets the internal pseudo random
generator...
$f8..$ff = : resets the internal pseudo random generator,
so the noise waveform play different, on some sids the
selected noise sounds more "metallic" depending on the
value and running SID cycles and other status.
Usage: first $f9, then $81335 Jul 4, 2013 12:42 pm

Which sound? The arps or the lead? The lead sounds like it's an instrument table effect to do the pitching rather than portamento. It's just pitching up from a lower note over a few frames. (you could use an un-looped arpeggio to do the same thing) He's got the whole instrument preset looping (with the gate off so it fades out) which gives the echo effect. The rapid pulsewidth modulation on there is down to the multispeed. He's probably got it adding about $40 on each player tick.
The bass tone is a sample loop. (like how chip modules do it) That 'noise slide' sound that sometimes comes in is probably a really tight instrument preset switching from noise to triangle(?) every couple of frames, would explain the thickness to it.

Re: SID-Wizard: top/bottom of screen cut off (14 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
Those parts of the screen are being displayed in the border area right up to the edges. Sid Wizard detects NTSC ok so I'd assume your TV's vertical positioning is a bit off. (though c64 wasn't really designed to have gfx in that area anyway 
) Can you adjust the screen height or position in any way?
