Is anyone 100% sure about this being the same person? Chipmusic isn't really known for it's razor-sharp accuracy. .

when i look at his facebook profile there are chip people under mutual friends sad

most new computer monitors still have VGA in (they like to call it "d-sub" just to be confusing :v), and composite to VGA adapters aren't terribly expensive... though i don't know if the end result looks any good!

a flute sound would be pretty close to a sine/triangle wave, maybe with a couple notches in it for some extra harmonics. i would make the first frame of the synth quite a bit louder than the rest and set the play mode to manual, then place a F01 command on the first tick of the instrument table; this way you can imitate tonguing and slurring in the phrases by removing the instrument number from notes that you want slurred.

you could also use the third frame of the synth with a slightly different volume and shape, then alternate quickly between the second and third frames with F commands inside a new table to imitate flutter tonguing (F01 to move ahead, FFF to move back) - you can then activate this new table inside a phrase using an A command. using a variety of vibrato speeds

(Vxx commands) will also help make a flutey tone sound more convincing. it's all about articulation, really. LSDJ is really good for flutey articulation though!

neat! it'd be cool to see where the various genesis/mega drive chipsets come in on this timeline. also, is there a .dls for the E-mu MIDI synth patches? (assuming it was GM/GS compatible)

lots of things make midi files! some do it better than others though. i'm inclined to believe these were sequenced in something like cubase or maybe scored in sib/finale rather than tracked. although jagex do have in-house tools for sound design, maybe there's a special jagextracker too :v

i feel bad for him though, coming up with a great name without realising it's been taken for 20+ years :v

nothing wrong with using your actual name, lots of great chip musicians do it. jeroen tel, jay tholen, alex lane, kris keyser etc etc
your name's not even boring. it's kinda great!
