KyleJCrb Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 This archive is better than Akumus (he said so himself). There is a 7z file there that has all soundtracks available. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Anyone know where to grab turbografx-16 chiptunes? Having the soundtrack of Devil's Crush would make me oh so happy. Quote

Theophany Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 A chiptune thread with no mention of Covox? You've probably run across him on 8bp, but if not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZQxiPf-KIQ If you're into hipster music, you might want to check out Crystal Castles. They've ripped off samples from Covox and Lo-bat for sure, but they're still a killer band out of Toronto, been around since early 2000s. Quote
atmuh Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 bumping this because im learning how to use famitracker (and not doing half bad so far i think) LOOK OUT Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 If you really want to micromanage your chiptunes, try setting up an MML compiler. It's a pain in the butt to set up and use, but you can really get the best results out of your NSFs that way. Quote

Bleck Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I tried learning how to use famitracker then I gave up when it's impenetrable barrier of unintuitive-ness refused to crack Quote
atmuh Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 actually ive been having more fun with using littlegptracker on my psp as ive found it to be a little easier (for some reason in famitracker i could never get it to use different volumes or anything between instruments no matter what i tried) i guess they arent true chiptunes but theyre close enough and hopefully ill finish a song soon!

Sinewav Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to get started working on C64 chiptunes? I really know absolutely nothing about C64 (I don't even know what one actually looks like), but I'm in freaking love with the way it sounds. I wanna get my hands on that instrument and make my own musicz with it. Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I'm pretty sure the only way to create SIDs is to code it in BASIC, which is not gonna be a lot of fun. But yeah, SID music has this... strange richness to it, when well-made. A lot of MOD music tends to have similar sounds, or are even made to sound like C64 chiptunes (given that the format was for the Amiga, the C64's successor). The songs used for Seiklus come to mind.

I can understand the tracking bit and the wavetable bit, with the hex values, but I do not understand how to actually export anything, lol Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I tried learning how to use famitracker then I gave up when it's impenetrable barrier of unintuitive-ness refused to crack Yep. I might go back and learn it, or just watch youtube videos on how to do it. Quote
atmuh Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 its not that hard it just WONT LET ME SEPARATE INSTRUMENTS Quote
Sinewav Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 There really aren't easier ways? I know there's the SID Station... but unfortunately, I left my $1000 in my other pants today. Are these MODs you speak of easier? Quote

I know there's the SID Station... but unfortunately, I left my $1000 in my other pants today.Are these MODs you speak of easier? MODs and related formats are like midi, except custom samples, patterns, less polyphony, and more control over the individual notes. Quote
Wolt Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Huh, a chiptune thread and no mention about Kohina? http://www.kohina.com/ There's also other radio stations like, SlayRadio, Scenesat, Nectarine, but they concentrate more on specific platforms or remixes only. For mods, there's http://amp.dascene.net/home.php Though, that site isnt the most userfriendly when it comes to finding tunes and downloading them... Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 It's painful finding a site that has a solid list of MOD chiptunes nowadays. The MOD archive holds a lot of good ones in the four basic formats: MOD, S3M, XM, and IT. Other spin-offs or variations probably aren't held on the site (such as MadTracker), but most people use these formats anyway. The Mod Archive I haven't been there in awhile myself, so I'm not sure how their content sizes up now. The 'Random Pick' option does help you discover songs you wouldn't find otherwise; it can also make you break a rib laughing at some of the more terrible songs. Also note that, to make tracked music, you'll need samples, and often, the simplest way to get samples is to open up other MODs in your tracker and rip the samples. Most samples were simply handed around back then (unless the author denied permission to do so), and the practice still seems to hold now to some degree. The tracker I've used, Modplug Tracker, uses a Windows interface, so it's much simpler to learn than the trackers that maintain an Amiga/C64 feel to them. Modplug Tracker Quote
Zephyr Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Oldie but a goodie, in my opinion. Co-piece between me and Rushjet1.http://kwix.shackspace.com/Music/kwixrushjet1therushdanceadaptor.mp3 What are you guys using for that? Samples in a tracker? Or some sort of plugin, it sounds good, I'd love to know what you used, and possibly get those samples if they're available. Quote
