Yeah, less bullet points, more chiptunes.

A chipmunk:
- is the common name for any small squirrel-like rodent species of the genus Tamias;
- have an omnivorous diet consisting of grain, nuts, birds' eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, and insects;
- can be dated back to the 1830s when they were also referred to as "chip squirrels".

A chipolata:
- is a type of fresh sausage;
- is normally made from coarse-ground pork seasoned with salt and pepper;
- can be dated back 350 years to the Italian "cipollata", a type of onion stew.

I hope that clears up any remaining confusion.

chipmusic was originally a term on amiga created somewhen 1990/91 to describe music in mod format that didn't use standard samples, but small sized and minimized samples (sometimes even textfiles like the startup-sequence was used as a sample) and sounded like classical 8bit computer music.

much later the term was redefined to mean every music which sounds like classival 8bit computer music.

ulrick: your definitions are extraordinarily silly.

A chip butty:
- is a sandwich made with bread (usually white and buttered) and chips, often with tomato or brown sauce
- was originally considered a working-class meal, served in pubs

So there we go, the origin of chip music was working class and pub based.

whats so important with the effects you are mentioning ulrick? I made tons of real chipmusic in real chipmusic trackers on old machines without using a single one of thoose.

dubmood, I do not mean I am right. I opened this topic to learn things not to teach in a peremptory way. If you say that effects are not necessarily an ingredient of chip musics I will trust you because you are a recognised composer in the field of computer music.

ulrick, are you actually an IRC quote bot? We've got one in #ukscene that would come up with better, less arbitrary definitions than you, based on what's been said in this thread.

dubmood, I went on your page on myspace. What hardware did you use to compose your remix of "Silent Shout", "Silent Shout Dubmood Remix"?

Thats a gameboy.

Answering these two questions defines the two opposite cultural extremities of chip music:

1. What kind of chip music does the demoscene create?

2. What kind of chip music does the emoscene create?

Apart form all the obvious long and boring hardware...

the answer is simple... one word... jargon...

PLOKTA
Quote:
One might plokta when the abort procedure for a program is not known, or when trying to figure out if the system is just sluggish or really hung. Plokta can also be used while trying to figure out any unknown key sequence for a particular operation. Someone going into "plokta mode" usually places both hands flat on the keyboard and mashes them down, hoping for some useful response. This will sometimes eventually result in beeping sounds from an unresponding computer as its keyboard buffer fills up.
