If it's not made/recorded using a real chip, it isn't a chiptune. It's just some VST synth crap.

I've heard this guy described as Chiptune. I'm not sure if that's right, but either way I love his stuff.

This song done by the same guy is more in line with chiptune.

>>
>>5193532
That's not even a chiptune m8. Just a bunch of random synth sounds.

>>5204529
Both songs are way too processed to be chiptunes. Lots of uncharacteristic tones, filters and effects.
>>
>>5207604
So, I might be out of the loop on what people call a "chiptune" nowadays but there's no way that's a chiptune. There's sampled drums, an (awful sounding) synthesized distorted guitar and synth Aahs all over the song. Only the lead melody line can be considered a chip sound but even then it sounds more like a regular synth.

Alright time to blow some fuckin' minds with some Danimal Cannon. Best chiptune artist right here, and it's all "real" chiptune. He composes all of it on two "grey brick" Game Boys.

Here's his debut album, the most varied and experimental, but altogether very progressive-metal-y.

Second album. Much, much heavier stuff but still solid-gold.

https://danimalcannon.bandcamp.com/album/parallel-processing
>>
>>5207662
I'd say the second one is mostly chiptune, the drums being the only exception.

I've pulled some sounds similar to the lead voice out of lsdj.
>>
>>5207896
I'd say there's two kinds of chiptune nowadays.

the first type is true chiptune, either written within the limitations of old hardware of the authors choice (SID, NES, Gameboy, etc), or actually made and played on real hardware.

The second type is chip leads blended with real instruments and/or synths. This often takes elements and stylistic cues from true chiptune, like using arpeggios instead of chords, but generally winds up with several EDM elements mixed in.

It was just a free bump shitpost.

To be honest, I just feel like the term "chiptune" has lost it's original meaning and got cheapened or genericized by slapping it willy-nilly into anything with a couple seconds "8-bit" sounding melody loop.

8BC was the shit back in the day. Shame it died of negligence/contempt/incompetence from the site owner.
Glad to see the 8BC archive back up. Tried to add stuff there that I'd saved from 8BC but I can't get to grips with ftp. Sent the guy a zip file instead but... eh.
Spent a bit of time browsing uCollective afterwards but got bored of it all after two years.

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8C8vGRlxZM is probably the most impressive chiptune song I've come across. I originally didn't believe it to be but I've got the nsf file of it and, according to its settings, it can (theoretically) run on a Konami VRC6 chip

I have tried messing about with Famitracker myself but getting things to sound like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xjhXUkwi0 is well beyond me.

>made using LSDJ on two gameboys
Man, there should've been some games on the GameBoy where linking up through Multiplayer enhanced the music by using the audio channels of both systems for different purposes. Before the game started it'd say "Crank the volume!" and tell you to stand/sit beside each other so you'd hear it properly.

That would've been so fucking awesome. Why did nobody back then think of that?
>>
>>5216406
Because gameboys were quite expensive back then to actually own two just to seldom use the second one, not to mention that you'd have to burn a bunch of cash on packs of 4 AA batteries.
Also, before pokemon showed up 9 years later, the link cable was something you used once or twice to play tetris with some friend and then promptly misplaced because of the lack of use.
>>
>>5216406
That's a really interesting idea.

I was going to say that bandwidth would be a problem, but then I realized that both copies would have the complete score, so they could just send a sync and ack command. The link cable let's them share the same clk anyways.

I'm going to go with either no one though of it or no one wanted to make 2 scores for game when the majority of players would only hear the simple one.
>>
>>5214850
99% accurate means nothing when you fuck it up with low dynamic range mastering. Raw chip output or GTFO. It's not like the original hardware was all that high dynamic range in the first place.

Holy fucking shit m8, the snow stage soundtrack from Ninja Gaiden 2 is forever ingrained in my mind and subconscious. I spent hours to no end trying to beat that stage back in 1990 when I was 5.

>>5219646
I meant it as slapping a generic 5 second chip sounding loop into a run-of-the-mill EDM song and then calling the whole thing a chiptune is what it's making the term "chiptune" feel more cheap and generic and distancing it from it's original roots.

Stop just bumping and post something.

Actually, let's get a discussion going so we have something to talk about.

What is it that you guys like about chiptune?

I personally like the fast upbeat tempo, and can't get enough of songs that have a rich pwm bassline, especially if it's got a duty cycle of 25% or less.
>>
>>5327722

I like the "voice" that chiptune has. Just the way it sounds, really. To me, it's not so much a genre as much as it's just a style. An instrument, even. You can make chiptune EDM, chiptune progressive metal, chiptune dance, chiptune dubstep, chiptune pirate metal, chiptune soft rock, alternative, hip hop, everything.

It's all about the voice to me. I just like the chip sound.

Well, I guess it's because I much prefer instrumentals over songs.
In chiptune, the song is a rare breed because it's almost impossible to do on the original hardware (you could possibly try to get simple lyrics on the DCPM channels...?).
That and I like free stuff. E.g: 8bc, noisechannel, uCollective, etc.
And also its connection to retro vidya and vidya in general.

What I want to ask is how do you make it and how do you make it well?
How did they do it in the 80's when computers would've been a pain in the ass to use for music-making?

There's two way's really. You can either use a tracker, or you can write a score and then transcribe that into code.

In a tracker, you write 16 beat chunks, which can then be strung together to make loops.
Loops are then used to make the complete songs.

This makes for a simple and small data structure.
Because of that, trackers don't require too much processing power since all they do is read a few kilobytes of text and then transcribe that data for the sound chip.

A single note might look like C4 8 3, which means C in the 4th octave, held for 8 beats, at a volume of 3.
The data for what that voice sounds like would be stored in a similar way.
>>
>>5334450
Thanks for the in depth analysis.
>>
>>5337074
You're welcome!

Unfortunately, despite all my knowledge and skills with trackers, I can't write a song for the life of me.
>>
>>5334450
That's not quite what I intended with the question and I admit I was very vague with it anyway.
I was thinking more about what trackers and other software I could use to make chiptune: at the moment, I have FamiTracker (and Org/PXTones from Cave Story) and could do with more... sort of.

On top of that, I was wondering how to make good-sounding instruments on them: I've always struggled making decent-sounding drums.
I guess the best option would be to look over the examples: having briefly nosied through them, I noticed they have some tricks I hadn't considered before (e.g: bit of arpeggiation, mess-about with the duty cycles (still don't know what they do), bass and snare hits accentuated with triangle channel, etc).

As for my latter question, you did bring some insight to it although I'm guessing that the software wasn't nearly as powerful as what you'd find today.

>>5340657
Duty cycles are how long the signal is on per cycle.
At 50% the signal is on for half of the cycle, at 12.5%, the sound is only active for 1/8 of the cycle.
As a rule, duty cycles generally sound symmetric around 50%, meaning that 25% should sound the same as 75%
Also, for drums, a lot of the sound is in the envelope, as in ASDR (Attack, Sustain, Delay, Release.)

>although I'm guessing that the software wasn't nearly as powerful as what you'd find today.
To an extent, but at the core, a tracker and Fruity Loops aren't so different.
You use the same basic elements (envelopes, filters, effects), but modern apps like Fruity Loops are capable of running more voices and effects at once.

OP here, wow this thread's still alive. Good shit guys.

I like chiptunes because they're so widely varied in tone and emotion. The only other genre I get that from is prog metal, but "upbeat" isn't something I enjoy too often there. Spacey music has helped me escape reality better than anything else in my life, and something about chiptunes just remind me of vast abyssal voids where only thoughts exist.

Also, nostalgia. Golden Axe soundtrack was so cool to me when I was a kid.

Anyone here know any good SID players?

Like half of them are no longer on the web.
>>
>>5381424
I wouldn't call it good but I've got DeliPlayer. Completely forgot I had it.
Tried it just now and I'm only getting music in the right channel.
>>

I use SIDplayer, which works pretty well, with the exception of the fact that it carshes every thrid time you launch it.

It seems to eat up a ton of ram temporarily on launch.
>>
What's a good program to make chiptunes with?
>>
>>5393356
Whatever you want really.

On a gameboy, LSDJ is pretty good, although with a steep learning curve.
Goattracker can export songs for playback on an actual C64.
Schismtracker is pretty good for .MOD files.
Famitracker is the go to for NES+VRC6 emulation.

For anything not on real retro hardware, Fruity Loops or Garageband work pretty good.
There's a VST plugin for them called "Magical 8bit Plug" which gives you all 5 primitive waveforms for you to use in making chiptune voices.

Another good VST that I use is "TAL-ELEC7RO" which is a general purpose modular synth.
With the right settings it can give of a real SID like sound.

The real key to a good chiptune track is to work withing limits and push them.

Limits that most soundchips have are things like
>3-4 monophonic voices
>limited effects allowed on each voice
>only so many different waveforms allowed (Gameboy is 2 pulse, one wav, one white noise, NES was 2 square, one triangle, a white noise, and one DCM)

Oh wow, this was a more detailed response than what I was expecting, thanks!

FamiTracker is GOAT. You mentioned VRC6 but it actually supports every known Famicom soundchip up to this point, and lets you export songs as ROM files to play on an actual Famicom/NES (though you can't use expansion sound on an American/European NES, on those you're stuck with the stock 2A03).

Learn what?

How to write songs on it?

Or the reverse engineering of the soundchips?

Anyone have any favorite chiptune artists?

I'm a fan of Shirobon, Dubmood, and Virt.
>>
>>5453918
I never heard of those first 2, might give them a look
>>
>>5453918
Disasterpeace, Smiletron, Knuckle Joe, Dr. Slizska. Rest of my favorites are chiptune hybrid artists or w/e you'd call em
>>
>>5453918
9 bit records was a nice group while they lasted.
