First of all, I am posting this here, because I know that some of you
understand, like and love chip-tunes (like I do ).

I thought about "porting the old flavor" to the new age, with modern
techniques (ie. no tracker;)), mixing the old (sid-) with new sounds...

Maybe you could listen to an example of what I mean:

Did I succeed? Does it make sense at all?


Oh, oops, sorry, back to programming! :roll:

Maybe you could listen to an example of what I mean:

Fantastic! I love chip tunes!!! Is this a port or an original work?

yeah its fantastic!!

if you made it, what did you make it in? (tracker, FLstudio, Reason)?

Thank you!

Original work. I hope I didn't subconsciously steal the melody somewhere.

So, do you think it makes sense to make chip-alike tunes without... well... the chip?

I sort of tracked it, because I didn't use any keyboard (it's all "hand-drawn" ) but it's made in Cubase VST.
All sounds are virtual synths (VSTi).

Dawn .. traumatic . This tune rocks ... very very well done.

I want more

Yup, damn cool tune! Great mix of old and new there... just wish it was a little longer

encore

Very nice tune, it really took me back to the old days...

Yeah, why not. I love the sounds of intertwined saw wave synths! I have the beginning.xm file from the lethal judgement II game that i play often. I love that tune! I love what used to be done with single sine sample xm's too. I think its because of the clean crisp sound you get with tracked music, and the kind of machine/electronica sound it conveys! Or maybe it just takes me back to my teens playing games and demos non stop on my old Amigas. Ah those were the days!

I love it!

I've never heard the term "chip tune" before. Is that a term handed to electronic music or something?

I want more!!

I keep my MP3 player tuned to ambient radio most of the time, this stuff is great!

You are right ... chip tunes rule

These are all covers / remixes of original C64-/Amiga- chip-modules.
You can find nearly all of them on the web (in their original formats like
.sid, .mod and so on).


Good resources are :

On the following sites there are more remixes in mp3:

It's the term used for machine made sounds (sine/saw/square frequencies)..
ie. it's not made up of traditional "samples"....

Thank you all for your nice comments!

It's just an example to explain what I was talking about.

I only posted the tune because I wondered if there's some kind of
"demand" for music like this. Referring to the comments I think
it's safe to assume that there is.

Thank you!

you bet there is

i like techno music (also rock, some more quiret ballads etc).
I
would categorize this as a mix of techno (the idea, the melody is techno/electric based) and slow drumms.

I started to learn FLStudio to produce some music too, and i actually made a pretty good rmx of Jingle Bells(were moving towards xmas )

But this is real good! Make some longer songs and i bet your songs will get a lot of attention!
