Believe it or not, this is my first 100% chiptune track! All the sounds are coming out of the Nintendo, and it was solely controlled by the Digitakt! I've been interested in chipmusic for years and have incorporated elements in my work, but I've never used it by itself, due to my lack of comprehension of Trackers/MIDI etc.
After owning MIDINES for many years, and being inspired by Nullsleep's recent show and visit, and asking him a few questions, I finally set aside a few hours to print out all the manuals, MIDI Control Channel Charts and attempt to figure it out! Also learned a lot about programming multiple patterns with the Digitakt and creating pattern chains on the fly. I've never had so much fun and so few headaches with MIDI/Chipmusic! I'm going to write a book, "How To Create Chip Music In 11 Easy Years"
I performed this live and did some truncating in post on Ableton Live. I filmed the performance, so look out for a video in 2019!
