    FFR Chip Music Compilation

    So you like composing. Great! If you're new to the genre, this will be infinitely fun to explore. I'm looking for a few musicians willing to contribute to a compilation of chip music right here on FFR. Making chip music is easy, and allows you to explore a minimalist style of composition. It's mostly based on hobby and nostalgia, but the outcome is up to you.


    How does I make Chip Music?

    You can make chip music through vsti plugins, or with actual 8bit software/hardware.



    Vst (fakebit)

    My personal recomendations:


    ymvst: http://www.preromanbritain.com/ymvst/

    magical8bit: http://www.ymck.net/magical8bitplug/...ug_for_win.zip

    peach/toad/triforce: http://www.tweakbench.com/peach

    Ipatch's C64 drumkit: http://www.liphian.net/kommisar/C64.zip (highly legit)



    Trackers/software

    Famitracker: http://famitracker.shoodot.net/

    Milkytracker: http://milkytracker.org/

    LSDJ: http://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/

              I'll whip something up, but do know that it will probably follow the authentic feeling of only having three voices at once.

                      I personally also wouldn't call chiptune composing "minimalist" by ANY stretch of the definition. There are several composers who have created insanely polyphonic with various motives when it comes to chiptunes. Minimalism implies that there's only a few certain ideas being expressed.

                      Also, does the submission half to be full chiptune or part chiptune? I've done several chiptune breakdowns in my hardcore tunes.

                          not that it really matters, but i'll take it off for mod's sake

                          submissions should be ~mostly~ chiptune but I'm certainly not restricting adding other instruments in the mix.

                          also I meant minimalist in the sense that there's only a few legitimate shapes of waves to produce 8bit (sin, pulse, triangle etc) and being original with "purist" software is much more difficult

                                  You forgot Plogue Chipsounds =P.

                                  Also: Some questions.

                                  Are submissions going to be in any sort of format? Do you want renders, or things like .xm files? Because I'd really like to make this in Renoise if I decide to do this, but I don't think Renoise can OUTPUT .xm/.mod. It can certainly load them, but I'm not sure if it can save them.

                                          Def. whipping something up for this, brb

                                          ps: where do we send submissions to?

                                          PS 2: Song uses a chiptune beat, has a few chiptune melodies but also uses some breaks and sax, should be fine right?

                                          PS 3: Done... ready to send once you answer my questions.

                                              as long as it's mostly chip.


                                              just pm them to me or post here

                                                      Here's something I've put together recently. Peeps have said it's coo', so i have good feelings about it.

                                                      A refined and retouched sketch I threw together in Famitracker over a couple of days. I liked the finished product enough to share it with the masses, so here's you all are: a minute and a half or so
