I don't think I can make real *wave music, because I can't hear it or look at it from the correct point of view. I was lucky enough to sneak a track into Cutsman's show, but truth be told, that song is really just Fairlight and Rhodes samples.

If the filter on a SID doesn't sound as you like, change its filter capacitor.

Sorry, it wasn't me. I'm not chubby and I don't shop at Ikea.

Re: Need advice: digital delay stompbox with sample and hold pitch change (11 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
The pitch of a delay effect is changed by flicking the delay time.
Sample and Hold is for grabbing a piece of a waveform, possibly for a stretch/stutter effect.

What i like most is also what I like least: I can make whatever I want with whatever I want and still have a family life. I usually am in the corner of the living room and have the television on.

I just wanted to clarify something in case it's my fault the discussion went on a tangent. 
I make a mixed-up pop music but came from the borderline prog/jazz/demo sound, but i decided to use less chords per song than I used to, among other things, because of a combination of breakphase's choices A and C: I found that the other style wasn't pleasing me anymore and, after making some four chord songs, got bit by a consequence: now I get asked why I don't have hot masters, overblown bass, and other pop habits that I don't want to put in my music. It's not a right or wrong matter, it's just frustrating.

If you don't go to shows, don't have shows, don't play at shows, can't go to shows... I don't see diverse releases in my social timelines and on release lists because people aren't talking about them. It doesn't have to read like the Chip = Win tweets, (in fact, I have a tendency to skim over praise with no other explanation) as long as there is a conversation- even technical discussion is useful.

love to subject people to the new 30 minute tracks.. but ehhh
If it changes in the gradual, Terry Riley way, the best way to know you did it right is to put it in front of and audience that understands it... I'm not sure where that kind of audience is right now.
Explaining what's happening is the key to working around people who don't understand, but that's the frustrating part. A listener might have played an instrument in school then quit, messed with Mixcraft and quit, or may have absolutely no knowledge about how music works at all.

I think part of the reason why people misunderstand chip is that the bright, happy hardcore-esque, omg videogames ADHD colours everywhere aesthetic is still so prevalent at a lot of chip shows. Given, they are meant to be a party atmosphere, but where are my god damn dark brooding monochrome minimal tech chip shows?!
They got skipped for having technical issues and emptying the dance floor. /s
What I meant are people who have no familiarity with even that much regarding chipmusic, but often those are people who aren't interested in music at all anyway.
Regarding humanizing the sound of chipmusic, you get out what you put in. The delay and vibrato instructions and instrument tables are there for a reason, use them and chisel some life into your sound.

For me, I still don't like the way outsiders misunderstand it.
Lately, I feel like I could spend three years creating an album of my best shit ever but it will only get a modest reaction because of genre, loudness, and technical expectations.

Re: How'd you get here? (43 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My entry here was the exodus from 8 Bit Collective. My entry to 8bc was S3M2WAV, when all of #mod_shrine used it to enter Famicompo Mini Classical.
My entry to #mod_shrine was that I had a question for reduz regarding Cheesetracker (I think that was its name) and I stayed for the compos.
I got into Cheesetracker because I was using Impulse Tracker to mess around. I previously used MIDI sequencers and I had a composing block, I knew about trackers from a disk someone gave me in the 90s with .MOD files and a player for PCs.
