Detuned pulse waves are dark. That's how you let em know, shits going down.

but on a less trolly note i get esc's point. i seem to hear fewer artists trying to carve there own musical identities or whatever  these days but im just old and shit and if people are enjoying themselves then it doesnt really matter and i still find lots of good things to listen to and go to some nice gigs sometimes.

There are periods of consistency, and novelty. The late 90s were a paradigm shift, now things are settled down. Technology has driven all of these phases of chipmusic, if you think about it.

Not that it bothers me. There's a handful of innovative chipsters, and other than that, I get inspiration elsewhere. If you want to carve or your own musical identity, you shouldn't be listening to chip music anyway, you know? Like what Photek said about Jungle.

The Martian by Andy Weir is a good near-future sci-fi. Exciting story, not too heavy. Short too.

Well, considering Count Symphonic had been planning and working on this for years now, with huge gaps of radio silence, I'd say no. He's just doing this in his free time, so be patient.

What do you mean there are no instruments . Like no samples?. Any synth / drum / noise you make on the gameboy is considered an instrument in my book...

[Am speaking off 1.x game boy version]

Well, no you can't use samples. But What I mean is that in the iOS version, each channel has  its own instrument settings that don't change. You can just plonk down notes and get the same sound over and over. LSDJ had the idea of instruments at its core, as well. In the game boy version nanoloop, you create kick drums by fiddling with the pitch settings in the pulse channel's sequencer. It's just a different way of working.

The composing experience is quite similar. There are no instruments in the game boy version  though. Just channels and notes and parameter changes.

Most people aren't complaining. Pay it or don't.

But yeah, that's old.

I hate most house music, but I like Fighter X, or Zef. Any genre can be done in a pleasing way, in the chiptune style. A lot of chiptune is genre-less. It's just such simple music.

No weird problems here. New songs fine, sleeps fine.
