Great, I like the initiative of this site these days. I'm gonna start preparing today, and see how the lines are drawn.

I see that one might actually include chords - according to rules - this time. Good to know. I must admit I see no reasons not to include a few supporting/defining chords if you are allowed. Unless the judges reward melodies that run their own life better.

apple-joe: that rule was in the first OVC as well.

I've read, its not allowed to use appregio's... I assume you aren't allowed to use them to display chords only? And ofcource they aren't being changed over the song unless the chord changes?

Cus it seems strange

Ofcource its not allowed to use appregio's during the main melody. I understand that, but also not for chords?

apple-joe · « **Reply #7 on:** April 02, 2006, 12:32:31 »

Well, anyway; chords + single melody, that'll do it. Maybe I even drop the chords, if I feel in the mood.

You can use arpeggios to show chords. The FAQ, of course, spoke of the lead melody.
The chord picture should be static - no boom-cha-cha, no any other structure. Just static chords in key places - that is, if the chord changes, you show it.

Great! I'll make a chiptune, especially for Purple Motion.

Guys! What's going on? First week of the compo is getting over and I have no entries from modplug! Sam Zen? LP Chip and his promised one voice chip? apple-joe? C'mon, guys! I want modplug representatives in my compo!

Oh, all right.

LPChip · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2006, 09:24:27 »

I've lost my inspiration :s

the best i can come up with, is a stupid song :S

I've had a little tracking break the recent days. Which might prove positive for the one voice compo; if I'm lucky and experience a flood of inspiration. I'll have a go very soon.

LPChip: Have a few days off without touching Modplug, and retry. Might work.

I've submitted a chip for this compo. Its not my best work, but it'll have to do.

(its not that bad, otherwise i'd not submit it in the first place)
