Hey everyone!

I just thought I'd make this thread for shits and giggles and just to get a sense of what people love in a tracker.

What would your dream tracker (that may or may not exist) have in it?

For instance:
Mine is a Nanoloop style tracker with more space for saving sequences, and with editable waveforms and sampling, and tables like in LSDj

nanoloop is a step sequencer, not a tracker

wish i had money sad
at least i have my fb01

eh, looks like just a basic little learning keyboard. they can definitely still have a few good presets on them, but in the end the lack of ability to edit any of the presets usually makes this sort of keyboard pretty limited in its usefulness ... i find they usually will have 4-8 decent sounding presets though, so hopefully you like some of them. if not, you could always try circuit bending it

why do you want to develop a personalised style

To stand out amongst your peers?  To be interesting to your audience?

to be interesting to yourself would also be a valid reason. hey some people are happy making art that isn't anything really unique or different and i guess that's ok for them, but plenty of artists just aren't content with the results if they aren't something distinctly theirs

i have one and could help test that aspect (have a 64mb ems)

would be ideal if the midi was done in a way that nanoloop usb-midi adapters in mGB mode would work as well

and all the midines dpcm ones are here http://hexawe.net/compos/turntnes/

nanokontrol is not a mixer, it's a usb midi controller.

anyone who thinks that using chip hardware means that all the music will sound the same really isn't paying attention to the artists i like more... i listen to my entire music library on shuffle usually these days and when a stagediver song comes on, i know it's him... same with minusbaby, unicorn dream attack, ccdm, peter swimm, etc.
if you really want to develop your own style while using chip hardware, its not any harder or easier than it is with other music gear... i personally think it helps to listen to as little chip music as possible, especially on days that you're actively working on writing...

weird suggestion: when powering on your devices, what order do you use? i remember getting issues with midines functionality if i had the midi connected to anything while i powered things up, so i started powering my nes on first (with the midi cable not connected to anything), then all my other devices and then connecting the midi cable as my final step of setting things up. i think many midi devices tend to send a little bit of junk data over midi when they are being powered on, which the midines sometimes reacts poorly to

this is great, i've gone to it in the past and enjoyed myself. Low-Gain is going as usual, with a bunch of bent gear and modules for sale

I feel that "2 Le Chip 2 Quit" is a metaphor for the whole chiptune scene in general.

Most of us will get tired of the frustrations of limitations, the stereotyping, the realization that we will always exist within eternal obscurity, the pressure to conform or break out, the longing for yesterday, a sometimes fractious community... I can go on.

But there's something about us that's different.
We'll keep on going down this dusty road to nowhere, with gameboys in hand('cause gb=chiptune amirite), and our heads held high.

But why?

'Cause we're just 2 Le Chip 2 Quit.

or its just an MC Hammer reference wink

oh, that's pretty handy
