Using bigger parts is always boring. The best songs in pop msuics history always contain a very simple acompainment of chords or a very small yet catchy riff.

Just repeat your riffs till its boring. Then, go back 12 bars before that, and thats your ending. Add some drums/arrangements to put some dynamics and make the song "flow" and youre good to go.

Really.

-sync as slave works for one patternplay then switches tempo and unsyncs
-sync as midi slave doesnt work, like, at all
-saving is sketchy. sometimes it saves your pattern, sometimes dont, and it never saves whatever values you gave to the pots
-using one of the pots as pitch sometimes makes it crash


-this is not a glitch but more of a request: navigating is weird. I dont understand (yet) how to change patterns or how to use song mode.


Any testing on original hardware needed, please ask. I also own ems's if neded to try on non original hardware

I dont wanna open the eternal debate of real instruments vs electronic music debate, but thats probably a starting point. If you just made some edm beats and chiptune, its easy to not develop " a style" because those genres (if chiptune was a genre) are kinda "soulless" by default. Im not saying edm sucks or anything , but if you put some of it into chiptune its just gonna sound "dance chip" like everything does. The most stylistic chiptuners out there come from different backgrounds and blend them into chip, they use their roots as inspiration for the small details, some write their leads like a gliding metal guitar, some write their drums like rock and roll, some made their basses like rap, some use jazz structure, etcetera. If you really wanna develop a style, it just comes by itself with time, you cant force it, but you can help it come sooner. Just open your eras, try different genres, learn a different instrument ( and translate chip into said instrument and viceversa), learn some musical theory ( and if you already know, learn some more) and at some point youll realize youre already there.

But obviously, if you just lay down 4x4 beats and stuff , its just gonna sound like that. Actually, every "good" musician on any genre is always A) a genius in its genre or B) a good mixer of influences


TLDR: make your sound richer by hearing and trying things different from what you already do/know

Don't let it out of your site.  Like I said, having Furrtek on board would be ideal, however if we need to reverse engineer this to get started then that is what we will have to do.  I don't use twitter, yes I am an old bastard, so if someone would please try and contact him directly I would appreciate it.  I am willing to make it worth his time.

SuperBustySamaraiMonkey, can you take decent shots of the front and the back of this so we can at least see what we are up against?

Jazzmarazz, you down to help you crazy Eagle fiend?

catskull, good idea about a site.  I can host it off of my server if you want to admin it.  Might place a banner asking for coding help too unless someone wants to step forward?  Maybe Nitro if he has time?

Let's try and make this happen.

Oh, and by the way in case any of you think I am trying to get rich off of this, please!  Any profit goes right back in to making it bigger and better JUST AS IT HAS BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME!


Sure, I work as a photographer so be specific in what you need and ill take the best possible picture

also, some friend asked me to dump the rom but I wasnt home this weekend, is this still necessary for the community or the sourcecode already solved that?

after all the shit i went thru to get mine i was gonna give him some feedback on bugs , guessed it would be useful and whatnot. Turns out i cant get the thing to work for more than 30 seconds straight, so im not sure what feedback to give him . I dont know much about coding to help him in other areas
