His hair is gel infused,
His lips a sweet surprise,
His hands are so unbruised,
He's got those Mamdani eyes.

There it is! Thanks for the pro-tip!

Ok man, you gotta tell me about the classical record. That covers the music I make plus a lot more. So cool!

Your record collection is truly envious. Have you explored Japanese surf rock from the 60s? A friend of mine showed me some stuff and that bent note style... Chef's kiss. Absolute perfection.

NICE! Man, this thing had quite the beefy soundchip for its time and place. If your dad has any Phillips SAA 1099 chips still lying around I'll take them off his hands. 😂 It's kinda crazy that I'm discovering this stuff for the first time in my 40s. I would have loved Chuckie Egg as a kid.

😂😂😂 This is actually part of British computing history! I'm writing for the Sam Coupé. I've never seen this computer IRL but the PSG for it is insane. 6 channels, twice as many as the 3 channels most chips had at the time. FM synth chips kinda sunk this thing but it was in the Soundblaster 1.0

Progress on the Phillips SAA 1099 soundchip. Wrote a minute loop that will be expanded to a full song. The 6 channels on this thing are awesome. Having two noise channels is really handy for percussion. I'm learning as I go so I'm still exploring the possibilities. #retrocomputing

Working on a tune for the SAA 1099 soundchip. Thanks to the dude who put a tracker specifically for this chip on GitHub.

CRAP! My bad. Count Orlok caught a stray here😂

Revisiting some stuff I wrote a while back for the Sam Coupé. I have never seen this computer in my life. I have its Phillips SAA1099 soundchip now, though.

Working on a new tune for Commodore 64. Almost done. Gonna throw it on the card @samcoupe.com sent me when I'm done.

Not gonna lie, that's kinda hot. Not the Hawk Blew-ah or whatever, but Baroness with a 9 🐍 🔥

Taylor Swift and her music will never be 1% as cool as Charlie XCX so it's just as well that she goes after Charlie with an absolute snooze fest of an album.

I'm sorry, I've been away from the Internet. When did ContraPoints become DisapPoints? Oof magoof 😢

oh you know I LOVE Furnace! Kinda wish it exported formats that were a little more functional on OG hardware for some chips, but yeah, this is a constantly developing project that has been a boon for chiptune composers.
July 11, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Yikes! Well, at least there's sound. Not good sound, but sound nonetheless. I guess with a lower pitch and the hardware envelope the channel just disappears altogether.

Yeah, as soon as I wrote that I realized I'm a bit slow because I took a look at my other cards, the SN76489 and your SID, and they all have clocks on them. The Revision 5 AY-3 is the only card like this, thank God, and you already fixed it, so game on 💪
July 7, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Would getting the Dual Clock module solve any of these problems? I got a few more soundcards I haven't even tested yet (the SN76489 requires the backplane pro, which just came in stock yesterday). I'm hoping this isn't going to continue being a problem 😬
