Quoting ChristopherJamThe test bit has nothing to do with the envelope, it only resets the oscillator phase.
In common HR usage it does however blank out the oscillator output during the initial attack phase of the envelope, effectively truncating the start of the env curve. |

Yes, obviously, but that wasn't the point. Again, if any tracker happens to use testbit in its restart routine because of the internal code, such tune cannot comply to the current rules right now. The same applies to zero waveform and from what I see, this was an issue for @spider-j. |

Ah, of course(s)! Thanks tlr & F7sus4. |

With so much energy on a pedantic level of the rules I'd expect nothing less from the results at this compo, You guys are hilarious!
21 used to be the bus-line from school and home as expressway for me in my youth, so the number is kind of special.
I bet one could do just as much as one ever dreamed of, with just sawtooth waveforms; drums, leads, solos, arpeggios, chords.
Good luck guys, I'll be listening and vote as usual: "The gfx-guy who is a sucker for music". |

They do comply. That use case is explicitly allowed:
"No testbit or zero waveform allowed ___outside___ routine's hardrestart phase" |

So? Seriously would that even make any difference? I hear lousy musicians cry in vain ;D |

You brought it on yourselves, guys, didn't you? :D First draft of rules was both friendly and specific on the subject - what Jackasser said, basically ;) |

Are we allowed to release our tracks with specific instructions? Like having to throw a blanket over the speakers before hitting that play button to compensate for the missing lowpass filter? Couldn't find anything about blankets in the rules :( |

I have to agree: Fesus just gives 5-6's to his competitors material on CSDb in general, but writes ok stuff about it, whilst he hits them in their back? It's quite lame from a guy who does ok stuff himself? He is on my future shit-list onwards. |

Though the last comment was "Ok, so here is yet another update. Zero waveforms, or $00, is not allowed in this compo. Furthermore, hard restart is not allowed, and the only bits allowed in this compo are $20, $21, $22, and $23."
I think it's quite fresh that it's so restricted. Will force people to do unorthodox sound design. :)
And you still have up to 16-speed to play with. Not too limiting IMO. |
