Pixelh8 sez:
After lengthy consideration, I decided I would rather have my Game Boy / Game Boy Advance music software be used by everyone it can be used by, instead of just the few.
All of my software Music Tech V2.0, Pro Performer and more are all free for download at http://pixelh8.co.uk/software/ Enjoy! Please read the FAQ before emailing me questions about it, it’s pretty straight forward. I am doing a lot of work in music and music education, the software is now even being used in some UK schools for students to do their GCSE music composition on.
Finally a use for that blasted GBA cart of mine!
Also he posted some video from his obsolete concerts:

Hello, firstly thanks for spreading the word, I hope it gets picked up by your readers.
No the only restriction on the software really is the sounds recorded from the software are not to be used in sample libraries, primarily comercial. Because the whole reason of the software was to make it a real time instrument based on a familiar interface. (Turn your game skills into music skills)
You might ask the question, how will I know, but a simple audio analysis of a sample will very quickly reveal if it was produced by my software.
It has one minute distinct quality :)
The reason I control the distribution is so that if it is not compatible with some cartridges I will be able to update the code.
The software design is fully copyright protected.
Thanks for listening.

“but you should be aware, that the copyright remains at Pixelh8. Yes, you can use it in music productions, but no you can’t use the sounds for making sound-libraries or distribute the software yourself.”
What the???
this is very good news!
Pixelh8 thanks for clearing it up. Im still agog over the concept of 8bit watermarks though :D
