  1. 2 more patches up. Driving Bass: and Strings, because MB-SID needs more strings! I recommend loading the Strings patch across all 4 cores and enabling the Super Poly mode. Driving Bass.syx Strings.syx
  2. Hori Sheet, are those videos huge nao! Here's a whole 1 patch i made recently. Y PWM with Sawtooths? Becoz orignally was pusle wave patch. But i liked the sawtoothens moar. Filtro.syx
  3. But isn't there a German law stating that all objects must be stacked at right angles? ;)
  4. Looks like this totally slipped under my radar also! Really like the audio in this one, but omg... dat video! That effect you used is amazing! It reminds me of the 2nd half of Radiohead's - House of Cards: "In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data." :)
  5. So on my facebook feed earlier, up popped Chipzel offering 100 free download codes for her latest album Disconnected: http://chipzel.co.uk/album/disconnected Was one of the lucky ones to get myself a code. The album was actually released back in February but somehow slipped under my radar!
  6. Nicely done. Where are you generating the code from? Using the share option on Soundcloud i'm getting different code... <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/138349877&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_artwork=true"></iframe> Adding it as BB Code with media generates a working preview inside the reply box: But when I hit save it disappears from the post. It would be nice to just copy and paste, without having to replace the urls and names in the code you provided.
  7. New OPL3 track from Diode mA, Milinda: https://soundcloud.com/diodema/milinda
  8. Time for some Sega Master System love. Did a play-through of Sonic 1 yesterday for the first time since the early 90s. Not only is it one of the most gorgeous looking games on the system but the music has some beautiful melodies too. Yuzo Koshiro was on duty for this one, can't remember if I shared my admiration for this composer earlier in the the thread. He is one of my favourite chiptune composers, his work on Streets Of Rage and Revenge of Shinobi on the Sega Genesis is amazing. The Scrap brain Zone is my favourite... Followed closely by The Bridge Zone...
  9. :P It was posted to reddit's r/videos and went viral from there, articles appeared on synthopia, Vice, and elsewhere shortly after that. There was no dubstep tag, it was the MS-DOS keyword that did the trick. :) He gave MIDIbox FM and sammichFM a mention in the Vice article: http://thump.vice.com/words/Diode-Milliampere-ms-dos-interview Really enjoyed the last 2 contributions, keep the good music coming!
  10. Diode mA had an album launch on 8bitx radio tonight, bought a copy of it for 5 bucks, its called YMF262: http://diodemilliampere.bandcamp.com/album/ymf262 As for the harmonica, whichever blog said it was a real NES chip were telling lies! Still sounds awesome though.
  11. Awesome 8-bit harmonica housed in a Famicom cartridge shell! :D http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/01/20/this-8-bit-harmonica-is-made-from-an-old-famicon-cartridge/'>http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/01/20/this-8-bit-harmonica-is-made-from-an-old-famicon-cartridge/ http://youtu.be/pLpDXkMQmcc Thats a real NES chip too!
  12. Also gotta love this MBFM track posted by midibox user dtg84 on here a few years ago: https://soundcloud.com/demi-batard/discopl3
  13. Yogi i see you're a regular over at Chipmusic! I really need to check that forum out more often. And now its time for some FM funk with the OPL 3 chip that powers our very own MBFM. Really liking these tracks by Diode mA, especially the pad sounds... Mutable Signs - takes about 1 minute to kick in: https://soundcloud.com/diodema/mutable-signs Whimsical Bee: https://soundcloud.com/diodema/whimsical-bee Aquarius - some crazy detune going on in this one: https://soundcloud.com/diodema/aquarius All sequenced in Adlib Tracker 2. Some other great tracks worth checking out on his bandcamp in the original link also.
  14. I love the PCM samples in SMB3 also! They add a lot of depth! I'm guessing Koji had to write pages of code to get his music into the games like C64 composers did, before thd days of trackers? I was watching this interview with him in the late hours this morning! That video should have millions of views considering his contribution. Here's a written interview with 1up: http://www.1up.com/features/mario-maestro
  15. Some really lush Amiga sounds! CTrix - A is for Amiga http://bleepstreet.bandcamp.com/album/a-for-amiga-bleepst24
  16. You rock TK! You are like a Samurai, slicing your way to the solution in no time at all! I was thinking maybe it was a bug due to Irish Software Developers working for Community Forum Software! :clover: :smile:
  17. Embedding multiple youtube videos in one post on this forum - Community Forum Software seems to be a bit strange! For instance in the chiptune thread, When you load the page some videos embed and some do not (they appear as a plain text URL), then if you refresh the page the amount of videos that embed successfully can change! WTF? The appropriate tags are in correctly, for instance in my latest post the first 2 videos embed, and the 3rd does not most of the time. Another issue, I tried posting this as a new reply in the Chiptune thread, but instead of creating a new post, it is putting the text into my previous post, as an edit! (I am currently the last poster in the thread.) I have never experienced this behaviour on other forum software types such as vbulletin or phpbb etc... Anyone else experiencing these issues? I'm running Chrome btw, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Thanks.
  18. That music is awesome man, thanks a lot for the introduction to him! So we have all seen piano covers of our favourite video game tunes, but Tom Brier is a little bit different... He has the ability to "sight read" music i.e. he can play a song on first attempt without ever even hearing it before, by reading the sheet music and playing instantly... He can also mix up the sequence and add his own style / remix the song on the fly... Nyan Cat proved to be a bit of a nemesis for Tom, but he wasn't long figuring it out! Plenty more vids of him playing VGMs here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Keeper1st
  19. Not really a terrible performance per se, but there's some hilariously silly dancing with analogue gear: And some more acidic mayhem in this one: Only discovered yesterday that he is Squarepusher's brother!
  20. Holy Crap! If you played this track to me and asked me what sound chip it was, I would definitely have said the SID! At least for the PWM sounds anyway. Can't believe its the YM2149!
  21. One of my favourite bits of Reformat The Planet is hearing Glomag's rendition of Hotel California by the Eagles. /edit TK: starting at t=2m07s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoN9QEe0DOs The track is called "Tiere Necken Mit Langen Stecken" and you can download it for free along with the rest of his album here: http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography/8BP095
  22. An oldie but goldie! Reformat The Planet Chiptune Documentary - 2008 Uploaded officially in full by the makers, with very insightful annotations. Edit: I can't seem to post the URL without it embedding the video, so here's the Playlist link: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYHDWc9GPZU&list=PL3FF92D5E85762A75]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYHDWc9GPZU&list=PL3FF92D5E85762A75 [/url] "Reformat the Planet (RTP) is a feature length documentary which delves into the movement known as chip music, a vibrant underground scene based around creating new, original music using obsolete video game hardware. Familiar devices such as the Nintendo Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System are pushed in new directions with startling results."
  23. Really glad you liked it! :thumbsup: This is definitely one of my favourite SID tracks of all time. Orcan - Solomatic Fly /edit TK: track starts at t=29m57s Download MP3 + SID: http://fonix.dyndns.org:40000/soasc/index.php?av=0&sb=SOASC&ss=solomatic+fly&sr=React&did=0&#did1
