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 |

But... but... if it is only one player call, that lasts almost for a whole frame? |

SID registers can be modified/updated only once every 2nd frame ;) That doesn't leave any room for interpretation, I guess? ;) |

That's good! I feel much better now.
Maybe something like: Each specific SID register can only be modified once per two frames. All sid writes needs to be done on the same frame, and there must be at least one frame in between where no SID registers are touched at all.
Yes? :) |

but, but, what about a routine that takes under 40 rasters, once every two frames, that writes to some registers more than once during those 2500 cycles?
Surely that would be ok? |

For some inspiration (or just to note it down somewhere) i'd like to mention that Kjell Nordbo used to enjoy making half-speed tunes as he liked the sound Mark Cooksey produced for some titles in the mid 80's.
From the list he compiled to me:
'Losing a Friend' from The Big Leap, 'Think It Over' and 'Message from Space' from Forces in Alliance and finally 'Kjellfire' from Larger than Life was made with half-speed or even lower update-frequency.
Do yourself a favor and take some minutes to listen to them. Or the entire collections they stem from. |

Hoping for 0.25x speed aka 12.5Hz after this one! Or perhaps 0.2x (10Hz) would work better ;-) |
