as of today I will no longer be accepting any requests to compose for capcom-style soundtrack projects (unless you're okay with me writing VRC7 arpfests for it). this does not apply to any projects that I have already joined.

(oh wow I'm still on this site) @MMSequelWars's soundtrack will feature an original elaboration on Dive Man's theme, bringing the submarine robot master to all-new depths... youtube.com/watch?v=XRJ4QjqO…

the fact that toby fox knows exactly how to do """real chiptune""" tech and simply chooses not to may be the strongest castigation of the chipscene I've ever encountered youtube.com/watch?v=PTDUtLJP…

Getting a feature from @Danbo_4 on Calypso is nothing short of remarkable, but I do have one extra-pedantic correction for the article The SCSP's FM and sample features are interlinked - FM isn't a separate sound 'mode', but an extra effect that can be applied to samples

This seems like a fairly minor point, but one of my main goals for Calypso (and, eventually, the broader Tethys project) is to expose the uniqueness of the Saturn's sample-based FM, and treating its two facets like separate features undersells its true potential

upon further research it has come to my attention that 'add and multiply numbers in extremely specific ways' is just how an FIR filter works
>add and multiply numbers in extremely specific ways >do it 4 more times >?????????????? >fully functional lowpass filter do people really believe this (if you really believe this my DMs are as open as a Nebraska field please help)

If you've been wondering what the Sega Saturn's sound chip is capable of, be sure to check out Calypso, my new instrument designer that runs natively on the Saturn (or an emulator) Get it here: github.com/Teuthida255/Tethy…

do you think the neurodivergent fondness for chiptune comes partially from a sense of empathy towards another 'limited' entity attempting to express 'natural' ideas

just realized the saturn's dsp doesn't actually have a microcode block for every effects slot you only have 64 variables and 128 instructions to cover all 16 channels a basic echo effect takes 20 instructions I think I need a moment......... ... ..... ..,
