Ongaku Tskuru: Kanadeeru
It even has a mixer with pan, echo fx, and levels as well as muting and soloing. Pretty good for a cartridge designed to write your own music to export to an rpg they made.
Guess that's why I've bought 2 copies of it.
This is what I have been looking for! Thanx for the tips! 
I've got a copy of it. It's interesting but perhaps a bit awkward to compose in.

Not to the altane but potentially a danger to data integrity on the flash cart, if the cart is battery-backed or if there are write operations occurring upon the Altane boot.
A small switch or NC bushbutton on the USB power line would probably do it, if you wanted a cleaner solution. You could just grab a USB extension cable and splice a switch into the red 5v line.

Currently we're discussing a DIY version of the synth at a much lower price, stay tuned (like my YM2149).
That would be something I would be very interested in.
Anyone ever use something like this? I wonder how appropriate it would be for use with FAT.

You could easily do this with LSDJ, just create a sample pack with each of the notes you need.

The Alterans, dummy.
I have one that I could send you but you'd have to pay for shipping from Canada.
Check out BennVenn's reader/writer.
It's totally possible, I'd guess that it was real but I've not seen the actual source yet.

A few things to mention about the audio input pin:
If you want to work with this ext input pin, don't connect a signal directly! Instead, couple it with a 1-10 uF capacitor.
This pin is left floating in most (perhaps all?) C64 board revisions. It contributes to a huge amount of background noise and simply grounding it will give you a much better signal-to-noise ratio on your SID.
A switching jack can be used to automatically ground the pin when you unplug your input cable.

not everyone is in that facebook group (me, for example) so having it there doesn't negate the potential usefulness of a list somewhere on here

With the new 8xx command, HT2 is now totally viable for me to write a whole EP. I'm very, very excited to dig into the new glitch commands and write some tunes!
breakphase wrote:Yeah I think the thesis of this thread is flawed. Chipmusic, I strongly believe, is a genre. It has been mischaracterized as a methodology. We can talk about the strength of working with limitations, or cool hacking stuff, but these are two separate things. I believe that the term 'chiptune' arose from the amiga tracker scene, where people were trying to emulate the sound of Commodore 64s, and stuff like that. . Amiga itself was a PCM based sound device, which is definitely not 'chiptune.' If we say that Amiga songs are chiptune, than we have to call early hardcore, like nasenbluten, chiptune. Which would be weird.
So, TL;DR, chip music is simply a genre that attempts to sound like early computer music. And no intelligent person can disagree. 
herr_prof wrote:I disagree. There is really no native chipmusic only musical genre, just mirrors of popular electronic music musical styles with a limited production set. It's like calling your four bar sped up blues music PUNK because you didnt take the time to learn blues properly or you have a certain haircut.
The only thing I'll say that any chipmusican I've ever liked has ever expressed an opinion on what chipmusic ISN'T or a desire for others to validate their process as being "truebit"
Til Death.
I think you're both somewhat right. There are aesthetic elements that are unique to chipmusic but it's not exactly a genre. I don't think that chipmusic is just a mirror of other genres but neither do I think it is entirely distinct.
Authenticity doesn't matter. Use the tools you enjoy.
EDIT: As an example, I made this comparison a while back. I can't even remember which is which but the first and second half of the clip are done with real hardware and then with modern software, or vice versa. The fact that I can't even remember or tell the difference is pretty telling.
