Looking for VCS musician - I've got a tracker - do you have the balls?
category: music [glöplog]
I'd love to try tracking with a VCS tracker as well. Could finally get around doing some new visuals for VCS one of these days as well... but having a tracker certainly would be a good motivation to play around in TIA with some new ideas.

And thus in 2014 it came to pass that all of a sudden, there were more musicians than coders for the Atari VCS 2600. Pure music cartridges with no visual effects flooded Pouet. Because of the competition, music quality skyrocketed up to the point where YouTube's automatic GEMA scanner started to block VCS demos that had remixes of commercial music. Batari Basic became the most-used language for VCS demos because it enabled musicians to code their music selection menus themselves. HardTIA sound cards were produced so that PC users could listen to VCS tunes in original quality. And all the while, the last three VCS coders left in the scene silently wept that they still had to use fugly dasm while the musicians had all that powerful enabling technology at their fingertips...
But, but, but.. oh noes. Now VCS has become main stream and so I lost interest since there are not enough limits on the platform ;-)
@Knoeki, please drop me a mail, so I can send the details.
Maybe somebody needs to do a version of TIA with badlines or something for more of a challenge...
