A recent trick was also 2 normal SID-channels + 1 special channel that can play 3-note chords. But... personally I'd prefer digis instead

Good motivational talk from Zan! As long as it doesn't get all McLarenoid which I guess it would if it was done well. The crisis is everywhere!

Re: Random musings on a train: Europe, Blip, community, the future (148 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There seems to be a second wave coming in Europe. There's a more respectful reception of the whole chip thing. After 10 years it's been pretty normalized. As an artist, it's no longer necessary to go on and on about the technologies. Sure, it's still gimmicky, but artists like Meneo, Dubmood and Henry Homesweet don't seem to be so stuck in the nerd-loop. Right?
If that's true, then the technology-glue that held this community together for the past 10 years, might be losing its effect. If the techno-focus is not there anymore, there's nothing left to hold together the general conflict between chip-as-instrument and chip-as-genre. Or dubstep/EDM and prog-jazz. Or noise and pop.
But I think the technofetish will come back. In the academic world people are talking more about objects again, instead of all that socio-linguistic conceptual blabla (appropriation, nostalgia, zzzzzz). Media archeology, platform studies or even software studies. Less humans -- more machines! Aciiieeeeeed!

Re: Does any one know of any famous artist who use LSDj? (102 replies, posted in General Discussion)
So excuse the seriousness, but are there any documentation of e.g Kraftwerk, Ed DMX and Squarepusher using LSDj? http://littlesounddj.wikia.com/wiki/Famous_People
I'm stubbornly adding more stuff at http://chipflip.wordpress.com/timeline
Since the list basically stops at 2005, there's not much LSDj at all.
Did you know that Amiga songs were actually in the UK charts in the 90s?
Or that breakcore evolved a lot thanks to Protracker and OctaMED?

Topic: a new future for chipmusic? (76 replies, posted in Releases)
I think that this release is incredibly refreshing. Old amiga crack intro mystics + UK hardcore + techno + IDM. Made by Omri Suleiman, who made chipmusic before all of us. Except you perhaps, Matt.

You actaully just plug the audio into the video input. Then you get automatic sync even Just make sure the volume is super loud (ie, use an amplifier inbetween). It's a good starting point.

Really? Any idea who?
Not now, but I remember reading about it. Perhaps I mentioned it in my thesis somewhere (google for retro puppets).

Re: Why does the NES have a Tri wave rather than saw wave (48 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
Also: there were actually composers involved in the chip design. So it was designed with a certain instrumentation in mind. Atleast imo, a triangle sounds more like a traditional bass than the saw does. And yeah, that's still the way the 2A03 is used, most of the time. Compared to other less "pre-defined" chips.

Re: Releases using mixed hardware chips (30 replies, posted in General Discussion)
For my remix of Icarus, I wanted to use something that was a bit more sterile-glitchy than the C64 (which is more like a beast), so I actually turned back to the Gameboy for help. I think the mixture of warm qwerty-jammed 6581 and macho-tracking in LSDj works quite nicely. http://www.beatport.com/track/second-in … ix/1007802
Did anyone ever combine SID and POKEY in a good way?
