Event id #3436 : $81 Music Compo 2024
You may surely remember one of the most inventive and fresh competitions around here - $11 Music Compo, organized 6 years ago by Isildur/Samar, as well as its later $21 edition launched by Eric Dobek. As some time has already passed, why not give another waveform a little spin? Let's try $81 and MAKE SOME NOISE!
Basic Info:
- Deadline for entry submission is July 31, 2024 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting closes on Sunday, August 4, 2024 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting platform is CSDb but eventually votes will be processed with a trusty algorithm, proven reliable in couple of older compos.
- Main prize is CSDb fame and prestige.
Rules:
- Compositions can only use waveforms $80 and above (so it's safe to assume you gotta stay negative xD) but $00, $01, $08 and $09 will be pardoned, especially if music player doesn't give musician any other choice.
- Highest allowed multispeed ratio is 16x. With this particular waveform, multispeed is truly a handy tool to achieve more diverse results but limit is imposed to avoid threading in digis territory.
- Filtering can be freely used.
- No covers are allowed.
- Only single chip is permitted.
- Entry must be handed in as executable .prg (which might be embedded in .t64 or .d64) and additionally .sid. Preferably both ;)
- Contestants can submit as many entries as they like but entry has to be at least 2 minutes long composition - you can do better than a short test loop, right? ;) No upper time limit, though.
Rule set might expand if compo related discussion leads to it. Let's not, preferably.
Tips and Tricks:
- One of the most handy techniques for this compo is noise LFSR reset which orders noise wave to play pseudo random seed from the very beginning. To perform it, you need to write a sequence like this to waveform register - $91, $89, $81. It's very effective especially at higher multispeed ratios.
- If Goat Tracker 2 is your weapon of choice, $91 might be set already as 1st Frame Wave variable to perform restart cycle one frame earlier and not to waste wave table frames on it.
- 6581 filter distortion might turn out interesting tool at disposal if you go for the old one, especially combined with LFSR restart.
Good luck and have fun! |

Quoting acrouzetDamn, right when I'm starting to work on a 16x tune...
You won't get more out of the usual editors anyway, will you? :)
And in the meantime we have the first, steaming hot entry! <3

/me gonna hammer straight on Laxity's door "multispeed feature in SF2 pleeeeeeeeeeze". Also, insert Puss In Boots guilt trip look here.
Actually, I'm wondering what's doable in 1x speed and might spend sleepless nights to find it out. |

this is as far as I get with singlespeed. was just curious aswell, but won't have time to do more...

For me the compo would be much more interesting allowing just 1x. At 13x it becomes much more closer to just creating approximations of samples and other waves.
So my constructive criticism would go the exact opposite way, I guess.
EDIT. Mibri's entry is excellent for example, but where is the noise there? ;) |

At risk of sounding pedantic, literally at the beginning and also at the end ad infinitum/nauseum. :D |

Compo would end up strictly rhythm based with all entries being almost the samey. Let's leave it as it is :D |

Yes, it's designated '$81-only' rather than 'noise-only', and I think that's by design for musical reasons. The 'just' in 'just creating approximations of samples and other waves' might suggest that to do so is a piece of cake, which wasn't my own experience at all - I found it very, very challenging (but fun!)
Less talk and more tunes now please, folks. Don't make me beg. :D |
