A few words about contest. Traditionally ChipYxa is chiptune compo, it means
that the rules are stringent restrictions on file size. But this year's contest 
is also thematic.

basis of which is an imitation of the sound chip of the old platforms 
(blip-blops) - are prohibited.

Perhaps some of you this will cause a storm of emotions =) But please do not make
“flame” from this, better to try to experiment with the sounds of your micro-modules,
use all features XM or IT formats.

However, competitive activities can include sound effects and good old oldscool-chiptune, 
but it should not be the basis of the composition.

Use interesting "envelopes" in the instruments, built-in effects of IT-format, anything,
