Topic: Hi! Y'all make cool stuffs

Hey, I'm new here, I been digging around a bit and theres a lot of cool stuff! From utz's history or beeper tutorial, to 1 bit science of which the velvet engine was born out of, among other things. Very interesting, I gotta read up on those more later.

What's peoples opinions on bintracker? I just found out exists and it look interesting, might give it a go. And while I talk about trackers, I think it's time for me to get familiar with 1tracker...

I love weird chip stuff, it's so cool :3

I hope you have a great day! :3

1tracker, yes, go for it! You'll either hate it or love it, but if you end up loving it, you'll soon be like "why aren't ALL trackers like this!" xD

bintracker is still at a very early stage. It implements only a very low level UI and is also rather slow and buggy. At this point it's mostly interesting for experimenting with tracker interfaces and exploring new concepts for chiptune editing. You can use it to make music for some weird systems though that aren't supported by anything else.

Re: Hi! Y'all make cool stuffs

I haven't been much in the 1 bit realm but my recent PC speaker trial and overclocked Famicom tests have made me more interested. I've used a little bit of beepola, and there rest is TI-82.

Yeah, I'll check Bintracker, and I looking to give the improved Qchan a go in 1tracker :3

I'll let y'all know how it goes when I get around to it.

Well I did get around to it, here's a wip thingy, not sure what to do with melodies for this but otherwise it's nice I think.

Let me know what you think, I'd love some feedback :3

Re: Hi! Y'all make cool stuffs

I got it done! I'm very happy with it and I think I managed to get a good amount out of the engine :3
I think did the reference stuff right too in hopes of reducing file size, I have no clue if this is possible to run on an actual ZX.

Let me know what you think, I'd love some feedback :3
