    One more demo: I wrote a music visualizer to show off the AY chip tunes, and also converted a bunch more AY songs for use with BMOW. Now there’s something cool to look at while you listen to that glorious 8-bit music!”

    talks about the different chips he was thinking of using for the audio here.

    “The AY-3-8913 is a variant of the AY-3-8910, which was used in systems such as the Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Intellivision, and Vectrex. It was also at the heart of the Mockingboard sound card for the Apple II family.”

  • Free Music Archive: Goto80 and Netlabels

    Starting to delve into the world of Netlabels with a spotlight on one of my favorite Goto80 releases, Updown.

    It can be rare when a constantly good label hooks up with a consistently excellent artist. So when young label Dwd Records announced the Release of Goto80’s Updown, it was an announcement to the chip music community that this label was wasn’t another chip upload site and that they would deliver quality releases. To this day, Updown is one of my very favorites.
