Ehhh, I'm all for allowing it but there should be some stipulations. Ie limiting number of channels, polyphony, etc. Should be trying to emulate a retro system not adding a magical8bit channel over an otherwise non-8bit song. Slippery slope.

Ehhhh maybe I'll make the same qualifications as the Weekly Challenges (that list of programs to use).  Keep the two competitions Tracker/whatever based?

I think that it's important to make things sound reasonably close to a retro console with whatever you're using especially in a theme such as this where the inspiration for the theme itself is so iconic and classic. Then again, it is up to the composer to determine how they want to interpret the theme. Still, I wouldn't advise fake bit dance music for this one tongue. At the same time, if you can take a program with a daw and emulate a classic sound with just a touch of modern flare I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it isn't overboard. Look at the games that inspire the theme, and then try to compose accordingly smile.I mean you can pretty much use whatever you want, but think carefully about the theme in question smile.

I promised I'd stick to LSDJ for next comps. Limited myself to 5 channels for this one.
