And that's how we europeans get screwed everytime..
oh what ever. who's got the euro that's worth more than the dollar?? buy it in the states and have it shipped over. 
lol
I think the real lesson is how much of a minor miracle it is that we even have lsdj or pulsar or piggy tracker. Kudos to those devs!
+1
i still need to finish rebuilding my Fender BantomBass. i'm converting it to a 30Watt super reverb.

aww shit...
lol
very tempting
And the DX7 isnt "old unreliable hardware"?
it was a piece of gear that was built for musicians... old video game consoles were not built to last this long. haha
Are you aware that Shiru is the author of TFM Music Maker? http://shiru.untergrund.net/software.shtml Also see the code section.
I don't doubt that for a second Shiru is competent enough to do a project like this. The problem here is the logistics of the donation, ie to collect and transfer the money. The latter is a problem in itself since he lives in Russia; many simple solutions, like PayPal, don't work.
Nope. Excuse my ignorance. Never heard of him or that program.
I just dont want to see another Jose Torres or Wayfar happen.
And when i start to see people who have no clue what the hell they're talking about start to offer up donations and blindly wanting to give money away for something that isn't even in a prototyped, or beta version. totally rubs me the wrong way.
Contracting someone to do something is one thing. Shiru is right in his thinking about not doing it w/o a contract. If not out of love then via contract. makes perfect sense to me.
My argument is simply to those who just get all excited about things and just start saying.. "can i donate" "can i pre-order" etc etc.
Anyways.. this is so far off topic it's stupid. *Laughs*
If a genesis program came about i still probably wouldnt' use it.
I'm tired of dealing w/ old unreliable hardware. SammichFM would be my choice.
or just buying something such as a DX7.. otherwise a pc's can produce a good enough sound
to get your message across for the common listener.
Because In the end, it's about the music. I care more about the song, rather than how it was written or what it was written on.
Cheers.
nevermind... you guys have no clue what angle i'm coming from as usual.
It would be a good start to have someone who actually wants to do the project. Because it really would be a labor of love.
Then getting a taste of what kind of work they're capable of doing, with perhaps some simple demo's they've done up of potential native software for said hardware...
THEN it might make sense to say .. "yeah i'd donate some money towards that" because with out any kind of outline as to what the program would be... why would you EVER donate money to it? it would be like.. paying money for a painting that you've never seen but are told it's really good.
Sorry i dont work that way. I dont even know where this thread went or how it got here... either way i'm out of the conversation
as it has lost my interest.
the "uh, yes" sounded like maskineoperator. ( i always spell his name wrong)
i know who that is.
I hate it when these videos of me get out. >_< ah well.. fuck it.. that's right.. i invented chip music.
"INPUT!!!"
well. in reality if we're talking just straight square/triangle waves/ noise.. then yes software vs... well... software/hardware will sound ultimately the same minus a bit of noise floor and stability. It's all code anyways right? Unless we're talking SID's... in which case analog filters are used.
And in the end... it's what you do with those waveforms and noise channels that really matters.
You'd have to be an idiot to pre-pay for the application and/or a donation pool thing would sort of be in the similar group...
It would only set yourself up for disappointment.
To program something like this it will have to start out as a labor of love for someone. which is why it hasn't been done yet.
Simple as that. So peeps should stop talk'n about pre-pay...donate, etc. thats just silly talk.
I believe Little-Scale will eventually finish the work he's done. I just know he's been extremely busy with school and work.
The man's a genius... which means his life is insane. hahaha
Invest months of time doing nothing else, then invest another few thousands $ into making carts (do the math), then hope someone would buy it, then hope something will left after overseas shiping, etc. No, thanks.
ppsshhh
elitist. 
Why bother opening your mouth to say you could do it in the first place. lol
i have developed a lot of products.. it's not that hard. hardest part would be coding the program.
i'm sure someone with a bit more motivation will do it eventually.
in the meantime... people should just rock little-scale's arduino project.
or pick up a sammichFM when they become available.
