Nanoloop for iPhone
If you where observant looking at the video on the previous post you saw “nanoloop” on the T-shirt on the guy using the Gameboy. Now, nanoloop is not only for Gameboy but also for iPhone. It’s a really nice little Tracker like sequencers with it’s build in FM-synth and sampler. As the sound quality from the iPhone is really good nanoloop benefits from that to, compared to the Gameboy sound card. But I guess you could argue that the lack of sound quality is a feature. Anyway once you learned your way around you can quickly come up with some grooves/patterns. And the sequence those patterns into a song just like you do in any Tracker.

The Engadget Show: Inside chiptunes and 8-bit visuals
Forget 8bit music – time for 1bit
Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case like his first circuit album (1-Bit Music 2004-05), 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally “performs” its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. The album is available from Cantaloupe Music.

Fox into Chip music?
Chipflip has a great oped on the whole chiptune FOX dealie. Check it out:
Last Saturday, chipmusic was presented in these two ways by Fox News – perhaps the worst news channel in the world? Br1ght Pr1mate performed live and talked about chiptune. Although the music is not my cup of tea, I think the clips are definitely worth watching because the hosts are perfect OMG-WTF-LOL-journalists, with a target audience that think like this. The hosts seem to think that chipmusic is 10 people making music in Pacman, which was fun to laugh at for a decade but is pretty tiresome now, really. Somehow it makes me think of when John Cage appeared on TV in 1960, playing along with the role of being a clown instead of a pretentious composer. Br1ght Pr1mate are aware that they take a similar role in the Fox News show.

Sending data from a MIDI keyboard connected to the sifu and the ZX Spectrum
The program is still strong in beta, but now allows sending data from a MIDI keyboard connected to the sifu and the ZX Spectrum to play three tones at the same time using a standard audio circuit AY . Newly program allows you to use dynamic keys, where are the keys to her suite. Connection is made with classical MIDI cable to the auxiliary module engaging communication through the optocoupler. . Since AY has only three channels, you can only play three notes at once, a man playing the piano with both hands normally limited.
