Event id #3201 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2022

As long years have passed since the last time, getting officially blessed by Didi/Laxity, I have a great pleasure to launch another edition of Crack Intro Music Competition. Get acquainted with the rules below and let's go!

Basic Info:

- Deadline for entry submission is August 14, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting closes one week later at August 21, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting platform is CSDb but eventually votes will be processed with a trusty algorithm to weed out CSDb vigilantes as much as possible. No voting system is perfect but god knows I really tried :D
- As usual the main prize is CSDb fame and prestige but this time Top 10 entries will also be compiled as a nice oldschool cracktro themed music disk.

Rules:

- Multiple entries per musician are allowed - no limit here, go with the flow!
- Entry must be handed in as executable .prg (which might be embedded in .t64 or .d64) and optionally .sid. Preferably both ;)
- Max. playtime is strictly up to 1:02 min. at PAL rate, then tune must loop to any desired point. These 2 seconds extra are really the last resort so don't push it ;)
- Max. size is $1000/4096 bytes for music routine and content (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000).
- Single speed only.
- Tune should sound as acceptable as possible on all SID models so pay attention to filtering and usage of combined waveforms ($31, $61, $71 won't work well on 6581). That said, you may set any SID model you prefer in .sid file but be sure some curious people will check it on various revisions ;)
- Music entries cannot be used in any cracktro or similar production before or during the compo (and its voting phase). So, dear crackers, hold your horses this time ;)
- This time no regular covers are allowed at all. Contestants might make at most a delicate nod to some cult cracktro theme.
- Visuals should be as modest as possible, not to distract voters from the essence which is audio content.

Rule set might expand if compo related discussion leads to it. I hope not :D

Good luck and have fun!

Yeah maybe next week alot of releases pull up!

Am I reading the info right on Deepsid? Jammer - according to Deepsid you've been making SIDs since you were 10 years old in 1993? :o If so, WOW!

For some reason I jumped straight into mods when I was 10. I remember trying so hard to understand how to use the sid trackers, but with no luck :D

IMHO there are so, so many great entries in this compo (and more just keeps on coming!) that it could we worth reconsidering the size of the music disk? Maybe Top 20? Or go wild: all top voted ones, as many as fits on a single disk side?

Preferably with a fully featured player too, with options to pick any tune from a list, ability to auto-advance and to loop (maybe even loop for X minutes until auto-advancing), random play, repeats etc. familiar features from The Real Music Players(tm)

Top 10 would be a bit weird for a music collection when you think of the time restriction. It would be a 10 minutes music disk :-)

TOP10 to make it selectable with 0-9 :D That's fixed already ;) And it will add some spice to whole event ;)

Well done guys. Sadly I haven't been participating as I have been extremely busy with some of my main projects, etc.
