My buddy Jeff (Switch from dangerouskids.net) and myself had come to the conclusion that there are talented folks in this state but those jokers up in Seattle get all the damn glory.  I want to organize a small chip community that books shows, shares ideas, helps get the word out about our projects, and maybe puts something pretty big together.  I know we got Spamtron, Plain Flavored, 486kid, Operation Mission, Thretris, Capcomposer, and the folks from 2pp living around here but is there anyone else?

I also had the notion of putting on a all Oregon chiptune show with the help of dangerouskids.net (local video game podcast).  Whos interested?  I've been playing plenty of shows around here but only opened for punk and metal bands.  I would like to get a common thread going.  Let me know, I am sure I know most everyone but I had to put some kind of line out there.

Why is it chip-awesomeness is just spewing all over Portland lately?  Not questioning it... just loving it.  I haven't heard anything about Micropalooza though...

.mid is the file extension for SMF files, hehe. They are the same thing, although you are right that some Yamaha gear is not compatible with midi files made on something else right off the bat. The QY-20 at least has a GM compatability mode (however I don't think it can play back all 16 channels) and an extra attachment lets you move files about with a floppy disc (good luck finding one of those now, though sad ). The QY-100 (newer model), on the other hand, can play all 16 channels, and it has an SD card slot for very easy transfers to your PC, so that seems like it would be more what you are looking for. smile

yep, because I had one of the older qy things... tried to put .mid files on there, wouldn't recognize them.. and tried all these various midi file converters, and nothing worked.  Is the QY-100 more compatible with midi files made on other sources?  I didnt know that had an sd slot.. hmmmm

I think the QY100 has a Smart Media slot which makes finding cards for it less than easy.

Looks like an RV-1 and a TX81Z FM synth.  I had one of those.  Wish I still did.  Those can be picked up for pretty cheap if Oxy isn't willing to let his go.

PM'ed about Casio.

Count me in as very interested.  I would be able to provide a donor cart as well.  Are there going to be labels made for this?

I think stoner rock is the re-imagining of all the good parts of the grunge era and I welcome it freely into my house.  Red Fang rules.
