Hey thanks, so cool that you heard it at TGX. I was there to play straight chiptune, but I was getting a bit anxious about the crowd so decided to go straight into this!
I absolutely love the track and your comments. I'm very interested in this lost art from the 80s, could you maybe do a little vid on these chiptune tricks you use? Also how did you replicate the SID chip? I'm very curious about this! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Tristan, I have a long 30 min video on the wavesynth engine that shows how to do Pulse Width Modulation and some c64 stuff, the M8 ships with a bunch of SID style presets I made. I will make a video about other techniques sometimes, always have to do more chiptune content
These have been running around out in the wild for a while now. I'm curious how long battery life is? I'm waffling really hard between the M8 and the Vector Synth, totally different units, so it's down to something else on my desk vs mobile device.
I've never timed it but I think 3 or 4 hours for how I use it, I charge it every few days. If I need to write music for 8 hours straight I plug t into a battery bank etc. Vector synth is a great sounding.
Hi for this one no sorry, it was made on headless on a fairly old version of m8 software when I was learning the m8, so it has some bad techniques like mixing from the mix screen ( better to mix from the individual instrument) , it has basic manual sidechain where needed where I just went in turn off everything else down where that big kick hits ( the trig envelopes in current m8 firmware would be better ) , while looking back I think I could improve the mix this is the my favourite song I have written, so appreciate that you like it. I think most every preset I made for this song comes factory installed on the M8 these days, if you have an older m8 thats available free on the m8 discord in the description of some of my videos.
@@avrilcadabra Totally understood. Well, I adore the rich fullness of this and would be eager to learn more about how to craft these kinds of lush soundscapes on it.
Thanks! Yes it instantly loads tracks and even better if you load a track while an existing track is playing it will queue it and auto switch tracks when the song ends
They will be in stock at the end of this month. I think the price is going to go up a little though. If a big company made them in China they could be cheaper but they are made by 1 guy in America. Still it is cheaper than the products it competes with that are made by bigger companies in other countries.
The M8 is a hardware device but it does contain a teensy amongst other components. Atleast the prototype and first production units do. You can plug it into a computer and have it mirror its display on the computer screen ( wish the force did this ). It also transmits usb class compliant audio and midi over usb ( it has midi and audio ports on the unit also ) The creator trash80 decided to release a version that runs on a teensy 4.1 but requires the computer of course for display and audio. If you have a teensy 4.1 it is free to download and use

This is amazing, huge 90s/early 2000s hard dance/trance vibes (beXta etc) thanks for showing it off on Sunday at TGX!

Man I really wanna buy one of these. But i wanna see someone do ambient and industrial type sounds with it.
it can do both of those no worries. Should be able to find examples of those genres
Fellow M8 user. Do you either offer lessons or heck even the stems .m8 source files for this masterpiece? Would love to learn production from it.

how did you do the chiptunes at 2:00?
It just is using the ARP command in spots to play chords arpeggios at 50-60hz speed
Sick track! can you seamlessly go from one track to another on the M8? or does it has a load time?
The sounds at 2:30 are beautiful
Thanks! Yes it instantly loads tracks and even better if you load a track while an existing track is playing it will queue it and auto switch tracks when the song ends
awesome! Let's hope they come back to stock someday and hopefully less expensive lol

Whaaaaaaaaaaat.......
This is all from an arduino teensy????????????
