That's a cousin to the first computer I used for midi sequencing. If you want it to "just work" all you need is a FreeDos disc.
Avoid DeskMate, even in its day it was shitty.
It has a three-squares-or-noises chip if you feel like programming it at machine level.
Serial numbers in order?
i can look at sheet music and figure it out, but i never understood why people though that was a better method than just memorizing how to play something. aint no pages to turn in your mind.
In my experience as well as in my lessons, you didn't know a piece unless you could play from memory.
I thought we had a tumblr thread. http://chunter16.tumblr.com/
You'll get it with practice
Yes. I had classical piano lessons in childhood.
The kick loses 4x4 feel on the verses, and lacks the build-and-drop feel of the original song. Otherwise, the notes are there, and seem to be correct.
i feel like you could really easily change this into an informercial
"people love chiptune, but it's so hard to make!"
Order now, and we'll throw in a second one for free, just pay $99.99 s/h.
I wish it had a bit more synth ability on the board as it is sold, because if it's going to be priced like a monome, it should be as powerful as one. I wouldn't mind seeing its software to find out how easy it would be to modify it for noise and wavetables or polyphony or some kind.
Program them mono and put one in L, the other in R. Save for a mixer, or get one of these things...
I understand not being able to get gear, making the most of what is available is an important point of a person's art.
All of the Pianocade hardware, firmware, and software is open source and designed for easy hackability. If you're really ambitious, build your own!
I'd hook it up to casio keys instead. In fact, I have a dead Moog Source...
In principle it sounds like a mass-producible versions of the chipophone, I bet you could easily install three or four of these pianocades into an old organ.
I have a song I made with a Linux Juno-clone vst where I deliberately only used unfiltered pulse waves and white noise.
I apologize in advance if tFa (emphasis on "F" intended) based YMO stuff on my cdbaby pages. (I doubt it, but as disjointed as that is, anything is possible.)
I wonder if you could have a company make the master and then go buy a bunch of used/worn down records for a dollar from a Goodwill or something and melt them down to press yourself. Does anyone know if people already do this?

May be of interest...
What kind of audience do you want, the people coming for your wardrobe or music?
You sound like a "I earn 25 million dollar a year-rockstar", I seriously couldn't care less about what the audience thinks of my t-shirt.
Do not agree with the dancing and people seeing through it as well. Our chiptunes are not for live purposes per se, yet the basslines and drums sound pretty good on a big PA, if you give a proper example and show people you're enjoying yourself, people will join that vibe faster.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood me because to me, you've agreed in full as long as you understand that giving the music more importance than your presence at the venue is okay.
I said "your clothes are your costume" partly because that's a paraphrase of what my mentor from the proverbial day taught me, my background is in the pretentious jazz/rock stuff that went away in the 70s for a reason. 
(Teacher was one of those folk/pop acoustic guitar types.) The intent of the statement is, you should "look like" your music.
It does depend on what the intentions of your music and performance are. To me, a live performance is specifically a way for people who could listen to your music anytime through recordings can say, "I got to see/meet xxxxxxx." You don't even need to play your music to accomplish this, but once the meeting is over, I'd think you want the people who meet you to think, "that guy is cool," as opposed to Telerophon's experience of "What a jerk."
Downstate makes the best point of all though, unless you're planning to go on "got talent" or "idol" it's not like this is serious life changing stuff... Or is it? If you're not trying to market yourself and you don't like performing, then... don't. It's okay.
hey mods is it possible to partition this discussion into a new topic? I'm pretty interested in where this is going but don't want to keep derailing
Anyone can make a new thread, like this one.
