First week back after having to miss two weeks of submissions due to moving and now my lack of internet (posting this from my work computer).
Anyway, I've been prepping some new chiptune beats for a street performance this Saturday out in front of the Seattle Convention Center for Sakuracon. This is one of those completed beats.

I started by loading DM with samples from my "bitkits" library and programmed the beat. Next, I exported the individual drum tracks into Logic Pro where I began creating melodies using the SynthBoy+ controlled by the MicroKorg. After going through different effects and tweaking my mix, I laid down what I like to call my "8bit sax". For this I use the WX5 to control the NESynth Iphone app. I use the app rather than the SynthBoy for live performance because the app is a lot more stable and it can run on batteries rather than having to be plugged in to a power source.

For this song I used the following:
-DM - The Drum Machine
- Logic Pro (DAW/various effects)
- Synthboy+
- MicroKorg
- NESynth on Iphone
- WX5 Wind controller

*No movie sample this week. :)
