Event id #2967 : 25Hz Music Compo 2020
Welcome to the first and hopefully not the last edition of 25Hz Music Compo!
Basic premise is to create a piece of music with player that updates SID registers at rate of 25Hz or to put it in other words - every 2nd frame. There are very few tunes out there playing at such slow speed but maybe it's the right time to change it? :) Here are couple of examples:
Low Frequency
Half-Funk
Compo rules:
1. No covers and remixes allowed.
2. No upper limit for playtime.
3. No limit of tunes per author but playtime of each has to be at least 2 minutes.
4. Use any editor that allows you to use such playback rate or go for custom player if you need. Goat Tracker surely offers 25Hz playback (Multispeed 0).
Good luck and have fun! <3 |

Do we have NTSC musicians at all nowadays? :D |

Some of my covers play at 60hz (using the CIA timer) in order to get more accurate tempos, but are still in PAL. This is just cause SidTracker64 doesn't support NTSC (and all of the players are in PAL anyways). I guess that counts somewhat.
Anyway, neat idea for a compo! I might participate. |

Yes. It strangely supports all whole number frequencies between 25 Hz and 240 Hz, which is why you might find a lot of ST64 tunes with weird CIA timings. (This also presents cool opportunities for tuning multispeed effects to specific keys.) |

defMON can be set to play at half speed, since you can explicitly set the timer value for the timer that drives the player. Maybe most other editors can do that too? |

Makes me wish that Goattracker 2 could support finetuned CIA timings the same way it allows for non-440Hz tunings (which sadly doesn't seem to be used that much). |
