Exciting prospects ahead! #1

Description

@Danimations

After reading the documentation and hearing your demo, @LeifBloomquist , I'm keen to support this project and pitch in as best I can. I don't have a VIC-20 at moment (I should be able to source one soon), and I've never programmed anything with MIDI or anything for the VIC-20, but I'm keen to have a look at the files here and chat through possibilities. I dabbled with BASIC in the 1980s and have done some programming more recently.

As an electronic musician, I would love any extra expressive CC commands, like modulation and pitchbending if you think these could be practical to implement. Is there a VIC-20 emulator I can use to playtest the existing code? And if so, can I send MIDI controllers signals to it somehow?

Count me in as keen to help take this project further. I'm also an illustrator, so if you'd like to jazz up the project artwork, manual, etc. I have skills to share. I'd gladly provide these services in return for a cart, if they're of value to you (Jim?)... and I'd like to make a proper video review of the cartridge, after being a bit underwhelmed by the only one I could find on Youtube (the conference talk videos circa 2015 were more inspiring). I'd do both of these things in return for a freebie. :P

I have a general "Danimations Digital Media Tips" channel on Youtube, where I'd like to showcase the project and you'll hear a little bit of my chiptune compositional spark in the theme music there too. ;) http://youtube.com/danimationstips
