2a03, but with some non-chip volume automation^^

A 50 minute entry with Genny Beta VST for the SEGA Genesis vibes :)

I went with a ton of weird processing, like muting the mids on one chord patch, and muting the sides on another, hard pan left right center stuff. Tons of instruments that might or might not go together, intertwining rhythms.

I do hope that my future will be blessed with a better mix, though :)

Sega Genesis pseudochip; no channel limits are applied.

I kinda stole the bassline rhythm and went from there.

Initially, I intended rather sombre vibes, not sure what happened, I think I drew a "wrong" note that made it sound a bit more funky, and, well, I went from there :D

Not sure if it counts, but the overly loud cymbals are supposed to mimic thunder ^_^

Warm Blanket + SEGA = Best way to "chill" out ;)

Not sure if shaking a bag + delay makes for a nice square dance foot-hits-floor vibe... but I tried^^

Playing with two themes, adding and removing some elements as it goes on :)

The original theme didn't have any punctuation - this is my interpretation -.-

==

(Intro) Hear me, hear me! The princess has been abducted by the evil toddler.
Your king commands all moths to poison the toddler, and rescue the princess!


(Outro) Hear me, hear me! The princess is saved, and the moths shall marry here, once she comes of age.

drop will remain unfinished *sob*

Or... UFO!

Right! .... Right? :|

Experimental mellow two-chord patterns

I confess - that's about a violation of all the chiptune rules ever. :)

Trying out a Sega Genesis soundchip emulator tonight ^_^

(Using too many channels, but... I didn't want to restrict myself so I could experiment freely :) )

Featuring my fiancee as Soldier 1, Ghost Voice of Azuma, also she wrote the entire script while I was composing :)
( Sorry about the overall length :3 )

Well, I tried ^^

Bliss sounded a bit different in my head, but here goes nothing^^

...and I was so sure it was Aloe Vera. The more you know :3

Somebody please teach me how to SC this properly ^_^

^_^

Because rabbits are so yesterday.

A theme that starts with A and ends with O, right, antik?

45 mins :|

well, it's kinda reverse psychology

Trying to use 2a03 emulators to create soundscapes for fried bacon that's ready to take on the world!

almost 2a03 (but with volume automation and tempo shifts ^^)

The genre generator actually gave me "Industrial Jazz" ~

sic.

I'm not sure if these two mix well^^

2HTS85 never existed... now it kinda does :)

Ka-boom. ^_^

wesequence.com is awesome ^_^

Most drum patterns were made by TVG - mad props :)

https://wesequence.live/kqJ4dJg4V

Made in about 50 mins - will check your tracks later! Keep staying awesome, folks!

^_^

Glad to be here, folks! Let's go!

Loosly inspired by the rhythm of speaking that phrase ^_^

Teach me, senpai!

Step 1: connect a buzzer to a PWM output

Step 2a: plug in a photoresistor to modify control voltage to an analog pin
Step 2b: plug in a potentiometer to modify control voltage to an analog pin

 

Step 3: add a LOT of cables that don't contribute to the circuit, because if you move a flashlight behind them, they will cast additional shadows onto the resistor o.o

 

Step 4a: write some cheap code that reads photoresistor and poti input, multiply add divide and use all the symbols you always wondered what they might do. make sure that the poti does PWM while the photoresistor deals with pitch (or, well, change the inputs, whatever) 

 

Step 4b: evacuate the building(!!!) before uploading the code, since the portal will open immediately after the program is compiled and active. (if you need more time for evacuation, try using a Delay(ms) timer. It's milliseconds, so just add a few extra zeroes, just in case)

 

Step 5: record the buzzer output, while waving around with flashlights, messing with the poti and dragging the circuit over the table, because you didn't mount it properly

 

Step 6: Just add a heapton of FX so that the original input doesn't really matter. Try octaving up and down for weird noises.

Step 7: Make sure you warn potential listeners, because the resulting noises are not always pleasant in the arduino dimension.

Make Music Great Again

Unless you're a robot (or incredibly talented), using a binary-ASCII converter :)

Messing around with 8 bit :P

WHAT IS THIS???

you wanted me to do a ska-o-per-aaaaa

iiii don't know what to do for opera or skaaa

 

let's use a ton of reverb for my voooooice

so that in marvellous tone you can may rejooooice

 

no time to correct my pitch with autotune

so I'm singing out of key (laptop mic crackle intensifies!)  

 

so you wanted me to do a ska-o-per-aaaaa

and I spent 30 minutes on wikipediaaaaa

 

I can't play the violin, nor sing - this must be the worst song that I've ever done

I guess it's time to run, before my neighbors come -

Part 1 (0:00 - 0:19): In C Major, I selected a [ I IV V V _ I IV V I ] progression as a basis, but ended the track with a chromatic alteration, using a Dm7b5 (the b5 is borrowed from the parallel minor), to resolve back to C major.

 

Part 2 (0:19 - 0:33): C Major once more. The progression here is a [ I iii ii ii ] loop for the first half, and then goes other places. I don't actually know how I came up with the second section - some experiments with voice leading, etc.

For some reason, C D# G# sounded really great, so I altered the last ii chord from Dminor to Bm7#5, which really helped transitioning towards that sweet C D# G# chord. 

I think it's some sort of secondary dominant, because it's not in the scale of C major (obviously). This one is then followed by a D F B chord, which I don't know how to name either :P It could be a G Dom 7th, just without the G, since it resolves back to the root really well. And we're back in C major. Woohoo!

 

Part 3 (0:33 - 1:00): The classic Pachelbel progression (thanks, Wikipedia), with a few alterations.

At the end of the first loop, I swapped out the original A major for a C#Augmented (Same notes, just an F instead of the E). For the next A major, I played C# E A# instead, again making use of chromatic notes in the upper voice.

 

Part 4 (1:00 - 2:07): Destiny - An original collaboration between GerCR and myself. I've borrowed a few chords to spice up the progression. The track is actually in F# Aeolian, but I've changed the v chord from a C# minor triad to a C# major triad. I found it to flow really smoothly that way :)

It was fun how I was reminded of how Johnny warned us about Generic Fusion Jazz. The section starting at 1:44 utilizes really weird chords. I can't tell where I borrowed them from, but the exotic flavor is definitely there^^

Finally I think I used a dominant 7th trick to end the cadence on a major chord, just that I didn't actually write a dominant 7th instead it was C#min7 → F#major. I'm actually surprised it worked that well :)

A few drum patterns over Daft Punk's Derezzed

I could have saved some time by just downloading the MIDI instead of transcribing. Whoever finds mistakes is free to keep them ^_^

Might or not be inspired by boomer's style :)

I guess poppy painkillers might help. Or not.

Moo.

you break the silence

when I sleep

 

you haunt me in my dreams

you ignorant creep

 

you crushed my soul, my anger's blazing deep

you stop me from my goal - to get my beauty sleep!

 

----
YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)
UH!
----

 

nature is attacking me (attacking me, attacking me)

you may listen (but) you can't see (you can't you can't you can't see)

 

crickets hiding in the tree

in the grass where I can't see

----
YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)
UH!
----

zzzzzz

Actually, the happy chicken vibes only last for a few bars. :P

Part 3 (finally :P)

That one doesn't count :P

(Part 2)

Part 1.

experimental.

Note to self: Don't write tons of MIDI notes at 130 BPM when you've already designed a few patches and barely reach 1:30 playtime.

Tritone studies, plus some arguably nice chip harmonies xP

Woop woop.

Most original title? Maybe. I just want to know how partybot spells it. (Yeah, sure...)

Let's just pretend it's in C mixolydian :P

Trying out some synthwave-y stuff

An upcoming action-rpg-roguelike. Some OST ideas :P

Chiptune. Woop woop.

summer is too hot. have mercy. :|

Freestyle Glitchtronic /o/

Not enough time for percussion... kinda got carried away when arranging :')

Well, it can't get any worse than on earth, right? :|

(Why can't "donut" start with the letter "c"?)

(actually, nobody can possibly get that reference... except for my brasilian friend)

Experimental stuff ^_^

The virus cannot win!

25-min-TS ^^

(would have probably been better suited for the "the worst drop" theme hahaha)

Well, not everything is bad down there...
(Made in a bit more than one hour this time, so it's kinda rushed :) )

It's time for some 9-bit!

(I didn't quite feel like creating a seamless loop back to the start ^_^)

Somewhat inspired by Zeno's "Achilles vs. Tortoise", just with more robots and less of the original.

Mixed with earbuds. RIP.

No idea what the original theme was all about... it had "sinus" inside, though.

Welp, this track has been restarted as many times, as card houses toppling over again and again.

And now for something completely different :P

I tried to pick a few adjectives for additional inspiration this time...
abstracted, scrawny, periodic

The first segment is in Major, the second is supposed to be phrygian... but I think I messed up somewhere^^

The journey of a web-programmer :P

Thinking back to the "good old times", before the desire of revenge arose. What are we even angry at? Still... something has to be done.

>:D

WARNING: May contain traces of dynamics!

Not as harmonic as usual :|

Because, well... electrons from the sun hits the atmosphere and ionizes oxygen and all that - which then subsequently emits light. Yay. ^_^

...it's the toast without eggs ;)

The actual title is "Mashed Potato" - the appendix is just for text-to-speech shenanigans :P

Limiter might be a bit overdone on this one :3

Chip unicorn powa!

It's thought of it as in "You see it from the start, but don't know how to get there yet" ^_^

Well, it's mainly 4/4, but there's a ton of polyrhythmics and a few brief changes of the beat sprinkled throughout the track.

Can you find them all? :P

Freestyle Glitchtronic!

Quite... experimental, I guess ^^

Chiptune time ♥
(Now with reinforced kick-tri for Adreqi ^^)

Stay behind the barrier!

...always

For lack of a better name

Lyrics: I got my mind on my money [x10]

#Brainknoooot

Feat. MAQZ

I hope it's not too loud :|
Have fun!

After two bluescreens - this is the result ^_^

Vaia didn't feel too inspired today and made... this.
:|
Have fun^^

Time to DESTROY! ^_^

Sampling in REAPER is... a bit hard to get used to. I might rework this with a better sample unit, rather than the native one.

Thanks for your teaching, Panda!

A few slightly oriental feels, travelling over varied, yet similar landscapes.

#VaiaChiptune2017

Maybe a bit too intense for a feather? :P

Vaia made chiptune... again...
That's for the album (after polish)
GG, WP.

Vaia couldn't resist and made chiptune again ...\o\

Thanks for the collab, Ger!

I Ran out of time :P

I guess the song is pretty unstable - the catapult part was hard to pull off, though.

Enjoy!

It's a painting. Maybe.

Chiptune ♥

Are trees also distorted like that? Maaaybe.

The blue pill, the red pill, or better no pill at all?

Well, it's my first try of the Sonata Form... Made in 45 mins - sorry for the late join :)

Well, I thought I'd try a really fast guitar-y track with punchy, heavy drums this time ^_^

Tracer FTW!

May the best carrot win!
