Samar crew is proud and happy to announce brand new '$11 Music Compo'. Figure out how much you can do with your hands tied 😉 It's all about sheer fun!
Compo rules:
- only triangle wave, no wave or testbit allowed
- no ringmod or sync
- single/multispeed allowed
- no digis (thcm digis use only $11, $01 and $09 but... no)
- 1SID only
- min. 2 minutes playtime
- any number of tunes per musician
- tunes can be submitted till the end of 02.03
- please supply executable first and then sid, otherwise CSDb mods will skin you alive xD
- other necessary rules might be added later on
Voting:
- there's one week after compo deadline to vote
- CSDb is voting platform
Reward:
- fame and glory

Since there's already some limitations in place, how about restricting the size of the binary to 2KB (for example $1000-$17ff). This might result in new code. |

Quoting StryykerWhat do you mean by no wave?
If your editor of choice gives you that option, you can set wave register to gate on or off ($01/$00) without any waveform selected. It works practically as testbit - sound stops abruptly, just waveform phase is not resetted. Goat Tracker doesn't allow to put such value directly into wavetable (everything below $10 there is mapped as step delay) but you can still make use of 701 command in particular track which results in the above :) |

Oh.. I first read it to be "no ... testbit" allowed, but now I see how you mean. So basically any combination of bit0 (gate on/off), bit3 (testbit on/off) and bit4 (triangle wave on/off) is allowed in that register, whereas the other bits must always be set to 0, right? |

That would limit choice of editors surely. Goat Tracker player is modular hence it would compile smaller player but I'm not sure about other editors. Compo is musicians' oriented and rule set is already quite demanding ;)

Exactly :) Just to give you a little hint in Goat Tracker - as it doesn't map values $00-$0f directly into wave register, you can still use e.g. $e9 to trigger testbit in wavetable. Cadaver's little workaround :D
edit:
Actually I was wrong about very gatebit as you can still write $e1 into Goat Tracker wavetable. (Me ducks and covers in shame :D) |

As this particular rule seems confusing gramatically:
- only triangle wave, no wave or testbit allowed
Let me rewrite it with Oxford comma:
- only triangle wave, no wave selected, and testbit are allowed
I hope it's not that confusing now ;) Frantic did explain it the best anyway ;) |

to me now the 2nd way seem to be contradicting the 1st.
is test bit allowed or not?
Seems more a coding compo than a music compo to me, but what the fuck I know, good luck =) |

Well, in music editor you program wave register too ;) It's legit music compo - not much coding here, unless you create your own player.
You can manipulate triangle bit, test bit and gate bit. I didn't want to put it that way initially to avoid confusion among musicians without programming skills but it turned out English is a bitch xD
- triangle waveform
- no waveform
- testbit
That's more or less what twisted grammar was supposed to convey ;) Sorry! :D |

Our idea was to squeeze $11 as much as possible so file size limit is unnecessary ;) |

It is just so surreal that there has to be a rule for - no wave :) "you can build this house out of something or emptiness" :) I do not think that what I had in mind is within the spirit of the competition. |

Anything you wish, as long as you don't use routine for reading and playing sample data. Gotta ask Isildur what about soft synth based on very fast replay (if that's what you aim for) :P If it uses routine identical with sample playback, it should IMHO count as digis. |

So if you have such 78x player then don't hesitate to use it!
@Jammer, covers also allowed, why not?
(How about next strange music compo $81? Is it even possible to make music using $81 only?) |

But digitized samples (like THCM's method) using $11 not allowed. |

My apologies then.

Waveform replayer (soundemon/thcm, call it like you want) is only a method of playback. Potential soft synth is most probably going to use it at high frequency as well :)
If that makes everybody happy, let's say soft synth/custom shapes based on waveform replayer are ok. I assume it doesn't exceed 256b for sound definition created on the spot. So it makes room for karplus and stuff. |

Even if hardrestart triggers other bits, it's hard to disqualify anyone, especially sometimes you cannot really change it. Won't be much of a problem ;) |

Sorry if this was answered already, but I see no limitations on taking advantage of multispeed usage.
So correct me if I'm wrong - there would be no rules broken with this (6581) or this (8580), for example? Only $11+$10+$00 were used, quasi-ringmods generated via filter-cycle timing and/or waveform timing. Using $11 as a mere triangle only would feel like a waste if this was the forced rule.
I'm new here and just want to be double sure before participating. Thanks! :-) |

Was doing the tune for the compo today. Bugged out and wanted to recover to earlier version... only to realize the disk was full and all I have are 0 block files.
The last thing I have is Sound Forge recording for analysis. Too furious to start this from scratch again, so I'm simply sharing what I had with you guys (x8/8580).

I dare to disagree. The compo pushed the imagination on C64 sound-engineering to the next level. And if the competitors took their approach to $11 absolutely literally, they still did their best to pull out the best composition using the simplest sounds. I think that the results of those two different approaches are equally entertaining for everyone knowing what had to be done to get what we have.

Since some of the the entries in this awesome compo just sounded too good to be true I ran my old hack (Sidmetrics) of cadaver's excellent siddump on all the entries (which had a .sid available) and ended up with the nerdy table below.
Basically what is gives you are the number of unique waveforms, envelopes, filter/volume settings as well as any offending waveforms (based on compo rules) sorted by current csdb rating.
The tool might not be 100% reliable, so don't take these numbers as the absolute truth, but I found them kind of interesting myself. :)

While you're at it, also make sure to screen the up-votes. Better yet, just to make it fair, only count the score 5 and declare everything else as up- and down-votes! ;-)
Do you realise how crazy this sounds? Let's not rig the votes and just count and use the totals as they are. |

Well I'm not asking without a reason. I've been running the voting system at Remix64 for about 17 years now, which his similar to CSDb in that it's semi open. The manipulations I have seen. So no, it's not that crazy. :)
Thanks for the info, and don't worry, I easily deal and live with it downvoting, and/or coming in close second (anyone who knows me a little shoud be able to confirm that). Still I like a fair game, and I was asking out of curiosity. |

What is downvoting though?
I must admit, I stretched my votes so the range was from 5 to 10, just so I could seperate the 22 entries into 6 quality categories.
I'd prefer to have voted from 7 to 10 in smaller increments, but csdb is what it is. |

Downvoting would be if I voted a 3 on any fellow contestant to increase my chances of winning, while I would normally give him a better vote. For example I'd give Jammer a 2 rather than a 4 lol 😂 |

At Remix64 I've solved it like this:
- You can vote anonymously
- Adding a small comment aka "shout" will publish the vote. The vote's weight will be double
- Adding a full review will make the vote count triple
Additionally, the average is weighted, meaning single outlying votes have lesser weight, discouraging tactical voting in either direction.
For the yearly Remixer of the Year award, a simple collection of nominations will determine the winner, for the manipulation of votes in the voting system would still be too tempting.
Anyway for future CSDb compos, a rule could be that only public votes are counted for the result. Would solve a lot of problems, and wouldn't need any extra coding or external voting mechanisms. |

i dont get that fetish with public voting :) it will only reduce the number of votes even more (making the result even less representative) and result in even more back petting votes.
also who cares. if you do it for the votes, you shouldnt be doing it perhaps. |

I agree with you, anonymous voting is a basic democratic principle.
However: if you take part in a competition, you will probably hope to score a good place. And you should expect a fair game. |

the fairness that is involved is that everyone can cast his vote. and that everyone is allowed to vote whatever the fuck he wants to vote. since there are hardly any objective criteria to rank art, its all highly subjective and matters on taste. and yes, the one who brings most friends to the voting has an advantage. that problem is there, always. the only way to remove it is to ditch this type of voting alltogether and involve a jury (i very much would like to see this back at X...). |

If you really want to know there are people self voting 10 and placing low votes on all other entries, even if they declare in comment they liked it. Not counting self-group upvotes.
No name revealed but we can see who does what.

Quoting LManBut of course it's hardly possible to prove. In the end, it's a matter of personal honor and integrity.
most people here don't give a single fuck about who voted for who or what. it's always a small minority of people that cry because they really feel their shit deserves a higher score no matter what the content is. some peoples insanity and egos are so off the charts its like they expect to get 10 for every bit of shit they make. thankfully reality doesn't work this way.
name/group voting, voting for groupmates.. etc. 10's for all! but when someone gives an honest vote? OH NOES THEY B TROLLING OR SOMETHING! WHO IS THIS ANON!?! lol.
(and people wonder why other users set their votes to private.. what a shock eh?)
if people don't like the vote they get for their work and want to cry, they should seriously quit computing and stfu.
whatever crying user won't find much sympathy here. csdb is not a safe space/circle jerk. |

Amen.
That was a true rant. Not called for nor uncalled for.
It seems unrealistic to see a vote for a score of 2 when all the other votes are in the regions of 8, 9 and mostly 10.
That is stereotypical for down-voting. It's so obvious that the music content is not judged for it's value, but there's some hidden personal agenda behind it.
Anyway, I don't want to waste any more words on this, because negativity can reach further and farther than it deserves. When it's a pink elephant dancing on the roof singing: "I'm a duck! I'm a duck! I don't give a f*ck!" it's hard to NOT notice... get it? ;) |

For the record ... I was kidding.
Anyway, I am pretty sure disabling anonymous voting will reduce the number of votes to the point they won't mean a thing at all anymore.
I vote anonymously because I just don't need even more drama in my life and I don't feel like having to discuss or even defend my taste. I can openly say I DO vote for my groups and groupmates, too, why wouldn't I? |

What an amazing compo this has been. So many technically and musically awesome tracks! Really inspirational to see how high the quality is of many of the tracks! On behalf of LMan and myself, thanks for your appreciation for the songs we composed/created/engineered. :)
Special shout-out to Jammer for the amazing ReTriggered track and 4-Mat for his -super atmospheric- track Final Boss. I had it on loop for like 30 minutes at some point without noticing! :)

Please look at it this way: Non-anonymous voting encourages the average person to vote what's socially desirable / acceptable. People need to be given the freedom to vote whatever they want without the possibility of repercussions. |

the only ppl who repeat this "if votes were public we didnt have this problem" again and again are those who are butthurt by votes that dont meet the expatations of their inflated ego. the problem isnt anonymous downvoting - the problem is always the number of votes. counting public votes only, which then would be much less, would result in an even more useless result. |
