How To Make Chiptunes Without Learning A Tracker

First of all, if you are dead serious about making chiptunes, you should go over this thread ( http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=13715 ), because real chip musicians use trackers and its the only way to get the truly original chip sound. For the rest of us who just think it's a neato sound and maybe want to stick it into a mix, this thread is for you.

Anyway, linky link: [http://cerrax-rant.blogspot.com/2010/08/rant-titlecheating-chiptunes.html

Enjoy

There are some NES soundfonts for midi.

I think Midee made a NES soundfont a long time ago [like 1997 or some shit] that got really widespread, it's probably the one you could get off zophar.net forever. Anyway, the NES soundfont off zophar is fucking terrible, the samples all have an attack of like 30ms which makes them incredibly useless if you want to make authentic chiptune stuff. Plus soundfonts are terribly obsolete, try thinking of anything other than FL Studio's soundfont loader or SFZ+ that loads soundfonts and does it right!

Best option for people using DAWs is probably the magical 8bit plug, YMvst for Atari ST stuff, and VOPM for genesis/MVS yamaha FM stuff
