Plug the chips back in (WB01)

Could these be lyrics? idk

I'm starting from scratch.
So I need to reinstall everything from scratch.

Plugged my MidiNES Back in
Plugged my SammichSID Back in
Plugged my mGB Back in!
Plugged my XStation back in even!

Weeklybeats 2022! how to even finish a track every week..

---
I'd like to consider this my unpacking track, I haven't touched a lot of this gear for so long it's been collecting dust.

hope to bust out the sammich sid a lot more this year before stuff stops working unexpectedly.

It'll be a busy year as always and i'm sure there'll be a lot of last minute crunch 'phoning it in' again
Might even miss a week or two (or more!!).

But I'll try to have fun smile
I'm sure many of you will make kick-ass tracks and I can't wait to hear them!

-
MIDI Generated via abundant music generator https://pernyblom.github.io/abundant-music/ (And then a lot of MIDI Note lain editing/clean up bung notes etc)
Dumped into Reaper, with some Reaper FX plugged in to give a bit of stereo

Things to do:
Get longer USB cables and ebay some replacement RCA leads.
See you next week where by then hopefully i come up with some new ideas
(this track came out of 3 other attempts to make a tune, the others were write offs)

Welcome to my 8bit rng wondering though the land oh no clowns attack. Very fun and enjoyable glad to see you back.

Loving the introduction/unpacking montage vibe this has!

JRPG vibes. I'll take up the excellent idea do document the piano roll notation!

I tried making a sammichSID back in the day... I must have messed something up, because it never worked perfectly for me... I didn't know enough at the time to properly debug. Now I use an ALM SID GUTS DELUXE my my sid chip smile Very cool setup you have! Absolutely love the sound quality big_smile

And thanks for cluing me in to Abundant Music Generator! This will come in very helpful for me at some point, I'm sure!!!

This is a lot of fun! Nostalgic vibes but something totally new.

This title sounds like a threat, but the song is nice

sooooooooooooooooooo good to see you back!

I also plugged in MIDINES this week and was like UH how does this work again? lol

Great opener to the year!
