>This could be a complete coincidence, but back in "the day" of the >(future crew, renaissance, et al) demo scene, people used to write "chip >tunes" for competitions; basically that meant the whole song (samples AND >patterndata) was less than 3 or 4k, because of the "chips" of samples you >were required to use, maybe 2 or 3 hundred bytes per sample and that was >the limit. the end result was typically very "quirky" and/or >"computer-esque" ...anyone know how Ken the Streetfighter got his start? I always thought they were called "chip tunes" because they sounded a lot like the music created using the Commodore 64's SID chip. I still _love_ the sound of a SID. -- Emanuel Borsboom <xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx> zerius.com/emanuel "I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing ...
