keep things civil please

May I ask, in your opinion do the examples of personal attacks against myself listed below seem civilised to you based on your definition of civility?

All this refusal to accept the truth, followed by these personal attacks...is it simply because I'm a mexica individual?

gay jokes, etc...

As a matter of fact, I did not make gay jokes.
I merely asked the question "Is chipmusic gay?".
My suspicion concerning this matter was aroused because there had been numerous references to Rick Astley on chipmusic.org. Rick Astley is a musician who is clearly popular in the LGBTQ community.
I also clearly stated that I have no problem with people being gay.
Actually, I really feel like I have been a victim of discrimination on chipmusic.org for not being gay.
Said discrimination was not coming from gay chipmusicians at all. In fact I was mobbed and insulted regularly by non-gay chipmusicians who were using gay stylings in their music and art as a form of cultural appropriation. Thus I began to use the term "pseudo-gei". I consider this term to be non offensive and an accurate description. Take the music videos of the artist formerly known as prince as an example of this descriptive term.
The artist formerly known as prince was clearly a heterosexual man and yet he was very flamboyant and borrowed heavily from gay culture in terms of fashion, dance and musical style.
Personally I resent being labelled as a homophobe simply for asking an innocuous question and would like to state for the record that I have absolutely nothing against gay men or women.

On the contrary, I have explained all my workings in great detail and it is you who is incapable of admitting that you are wrong.

Whenever you are backed into a corner by logical arguments and references you deflect by saying yes, but I'm at a music university or perhaps that wasn't wrong, it was jazzy.

@sandneil:

So you are categorically stating that roman numerals are, in fact, never used to describe scale degrees?

Why don't you go to the link I gave you above and find out once and for all that you are wrong?

- "Capital" roman numerals are for major chords in the classical system.

- "Lowercase" roman numerals are for minor chords, though in jazz analysis ii7 and II-7 are equivalent.

No. The roman numerals in this example are describing scale degrees.
Please check this link. It provides proof that I got this part correct at least.

- Suspended chords are not used like the others and don't belong on that chart.

It is plain to see that this is bullshit.

C natural minor (Aeolian) - C, D, D#, F, G, G#, A#

Csus4 = C, F, G
D#sus4 = D#, G#, A#
Fsus4 = C, F, A#
Gsus4 = C, D, G
A#sus4 = D#, F, A#

All of the notes in these suspended 4th chords are contained within the scale 'C natural minor' .

As a key signature describes a scale all the chords in this example were in the key of C natural minor.

It is only one example. No one is saying that you must only use C minor. Of course you could transpose all this to change key.

As I am not present in your location I think you may have imagined some airquotes sir. What you are referring to is called italicization.

Congrats for making a worse thread then one about chiptune gender indentity

Maybe people found it to be a cringeworthy and triggering thread but at least I was able to discover that chipmusic is now not only gei but also pseudo-gei (like prince, R. I. P) but thats O. K. Personally I have no problem with smoky urine DMGs.

Keys are near-meaningless in tracker music - it's computed like atonal music is - arps are all relative to 0 (base note), sharps are always, flats are omitted, etc. Trying to force tracker format into the foundation for your argument about what scales fit what chord is baseless - it's not in a musical context at all, it's an abstraction or reduction.

Keys are near meaningless in tracker music?
Here is a guide to staying in key for tracker peeps.

C Natural minor

C,   D,    D#,   F,   G,   G#,  A#
(I), (II), (iii), (IV), (V), (vi), (vii)

C min : C, D#, G (0, 3, 7), (I, iii, V)
C sus4 : C, F, G (0, 5, 7), (I, IV, V)
Cm7 :  C, D#, G, A# (0, 3, 7, A)
Ddim : D, F, G# (0, 3, 6), (II, IV, vi)
Dm7b5 : C, D, F, G# (0, 3, 6, A), (I, II, IV, vi)
D#Maj : D#, G, A# (0, 4, 7), (iii, V, vii)
D#sus4 : D#, G#, A# (0, 5, 7), (iii, vi, vii)
D#Maj7 : D, D#, G, A# (0, 4, 7, B), (II, iii, V, vii)
F min : C, F, G# (0, 3, 7), (I, IV, vi)
Fsus4 : C, F, A# (0, 5, 7), (I, IV, vii)
Fm7 : C, D#, F, G# (0, 3, 7, A), (I, iii, IV, vi)
Gmin : D, G, A# (0, 3, 7), (II, V, vii)
Gsus4 : C, D, G (0, 5, 7), (I, II, V)
Gm7 : D, F, G, A# (0, 3, 7, A), (II, IV, V, vii)
G#Maj : C, D#, G# (0, 4, 7), (I, iii, vi)
G#Maj7 : C, D#, G, G# (0, 4, 7, B), (I, iii, V, vi)
G#6th : C, D#, F, G# (0, 4, 7, 9), (I, iii, IV, vi)
A#Maj : D, F, A# (0, 4, 7), (II, IV, vii)
A#sus4 : D#, F, A# (0, 5, 7), (iii, IV, vii)
A#7th : D, F, G#, A# (0, 4, 7, A), (II, IV, vi, vii)

If anyone can find any mistakes or suggest any improvements please let me know.

Honestly, instead of wasting time with 'trial and error music' and then saying its jazz, use this system. It will save you precious time.

theremin, human voice, lapslide and violin are awesome microtonal instruments.

I think PSPSEQ could do absolute frequencies as well.
Is it open source yet?

Almost impossible to write sheet music for as well.

Neither is impossible. You can change the tuning increments of lots of trackers. Pretty sure someone has done microtonal stuff with LSDJ before by using a custom ROM or something (little-scale, maybe? this was a while ago)

As for the sheet music thing I've heard of one person using "colors" for the different tiny pitch increments for microtonal pieces. i.e. Cblue, Cgreen, etc. Pretty interesting, but far out there stuff.

You can definitely do microtonal stuff in trackers though.

Yes, I saw that littlescale video in which he had created a custom rom for nanoloop using hex editor.
This microtonal kind of stuff is the future. We can return to the genius stylings of many indian composers. Actually, come to think of it you can do absolute frequencies in sunvox as well...havent got my head around it yet though, but..it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

No.

I've heard some music made by students who graduated with 1st degrees in music from the best universities.

They had a lot of quite sophisticated sounding terminology when they were talking about music.

However, when I listened to their recordings it was just a bunch of out of tune sounding squeals and squeaks.

Plus they couldn't even understand gameboys.
