Tfw you know staff composers were once a thing and being one is all you've ever wanted in life.

Tfw you are in the middle of a commission and know what you want next but have to stop to go to your "real" job, so have to do a crappy voice memo and hope you can understand it later.
Plz hire me for lots of money so I can just do what I love for a living. Thx.

Honestly, if you make it they will come. There was a wave table tracker someone made recently that looked awesome. I think there's plenty of room in chip music for new things. Heck, look at m8! (Which I originally got to do multi-chip, but now use for modern-ish music)

YouTube video by ModalModule UltimaChip - a midi-controlled hardware multi sound chip module

Ah! And yes totally makes sense. My dream actually started from a hardware project I made that was one unit with a ym2612, SNES apu, and attached to a game boy, to be able to use all of them together. So I suppose I'm after more of a Frankenstein-ing of retro chips. 😂
youtu.be/MMhERoOpzt4?...

I mention this cuz it occured to me you could be planning for just picking a chip when starting a project and only producing music for that, which is a totally understandable approach if so, just different than what I have planned. :)

Btw to clarify, my goal is to be able to produce multi-chip music, again like furnace, which also means the interface needs to be expandable to however many channels (my plan was for 16 channels, but for them to be able to swap chips on the fly, which my current build does for 8 channels).

Which, if you add more chips, will be the solution anyway, so keep at it and I can just use your tracker! 😂
(I may still continue fpga though just as an alternative)

Ya, it was suggested to me to do the same, but I'm already pretty deep in the fpga world (made a few midi module style cores for GB and genesis), so it was a logical step for me at the time. Really though, all of the emulation needed is already in furnace tracker, it just needs the lsdj GUI.

Don't have one to test but from what I understand it doesn't have the power of the de10 nano which I'm currently testing on, and even it is struggling with some things. I'll need to optimize, and eventually I can learn about targeting it and get one or ask someone with one to test.

Anyway, I'm curious about zx chip music, so I would definitely give this a go if I get an anberic device! Regardless, congrats on putting this out in the world!

Wow, what a coincidence, I've been working off and on (mostly off lately) on a tracker with an lsdj-style interface, targeting (future) handhelds as well, but for multiple chips, starting with SNES/Genesis and game boy, but using fpga tech! Still waiting for a handheld that can handle it though...

Good to know! Doing a project with ue5 currently because of those functions, so if needed I may be able to switch to godot.

Oh ho! Do you know if it has realtime midi integration? Like from a midi controller?

Epic @laamaa.fi banger on top of it!

Today I had to focus on level design and new gimmicks.

So of course I focused on new impact effects.

Of course the flip side of that is that we need music now more than ever, as a way to heal, and express our anger, so it's tricky. Either way it was just a thought, and obv this decision was specifically because of the venue, and presumably those I'm charge of it.

The crazy thing is I was just thinking the other day "what if all of us musicians just stop doing music, pull all our music down, so there's literally only shitty people's music left, as a means of protest?", looks like Philip Glass is making that manifest.

Grats! I went down the same rabbit hole to finally rip a grail patch for x68k only to realize... It's just a typical organ patch and it was the pitch bends that made it sound so awesome. 😅

Twinkle x Decline's Drops when

@acewola.bsky.social told you there were others that played the game. I have no idea what this is about, but I'm sure you do.

Still haven't played it, but good to know it might not take long/be too hard.

Wow, somehow completely missed this, looks great! Gotta love the composer->dev arc eh? Still working on my game. :)
Oh also, did you see that new game big hops that came out? Made me think of you. 😂
