Does anyone know of old synthesizers and keyboards (etc) that uses a soundchip that's usually found in consoles/computers?

There are of course Yamaha's YM-based things (is there an extensive list?) and plenty of "new" DIY-projects - but I mean things more like the Remco Sound FX machine. Are there any POKEY-keyboards for example? Perhaps some AY-based home robot? Anyone has any ideas?

Slightly OT, but...

Chipmusic needs a better reputation. Digital distribution services don't.

If you want money, you probably earn more from selling 10 CDRs, unless you sell a lot. If you want attention, you'll (probably) get more by giving it away for free. If you don't want to support crappy commerce, then don't hire someone to upload your things to 1 million different MP3-stores. People will find it anyway.

The point is to make people find it. If you don't have a good label, you have to do the marketing yourself. Good music don't sell itself.

Back OT: I don't keep stats really but CD-albums and vinyls 500-1000 copies each, downloads up to 40k, according to archive.org. (dunno if it's individual tracks or full album)

Uhm, HTML5 is required for this. Update browserz?

(we would've just put everything on YouTube if it wasn't for their time limit)

Thanks. There will definitely be live performances of this, once we figure out how to do it the best way. Atm we're exploring the potentials of teletext VJing. smile

he he he. My work blocks the site due to "sex". Odd.

Definitely. Though I know I have a bad reputation also with McDonald's who blocks goto80.com. I had my site on a gay domain a long time ago at goto80.myhardman.com, perhaps that's why. When I abandoned that URL, it turned into a page for "hot Z80 music".

The filters are c-64. Sometimes there's a delay with filter, and it's some old shitty free vst plugin called, well, analogue delay. smile

2SLEEP1 is a 66-minute playlist of audiovisual performances in text mode, designed to make you fall asleep. The idea is to show the music being composed in real-time along with typewriter-style animations.

I've started to release things at Chipflip.
This is the first one. It's songified C64-jams that sound sort of .. electro-ish?
No cover art, no name -- this is internet!
