  • chipsounds EP

    rc4_control

    This extensively modeled all-purpose chip emulation system is coming out very soon. To celebrate this, there is a new EP made entirely with the plugin, featuring contributions from the Plogue beta team.

    Details:

    These tracks were made by the chipsounds beta team and really show the

    variety of styles and sounds that can be achieved with the software.

    The only guideline given was that the music’s chip content had to be made using chipsounds.

    We are really lucky to be surrounded with such talented musicians as testers!

    Thanks again to the entire chipsounds beta team!

    We hope you like it

    David from Plogue

    Tomorrow the 8 Bit Operators Beatles Tribute is out, and here is the video to my contribution for it. It was made by Erik Nilsson, who recently made a mechnical orchestra. He animated this video on a Commodore 64 BBS (popular before the Internet), where the text gets written on the screen slowly enough for you to work with different animation techniques. Petscii and Skweee, how sweet life can beee. And thanks for the expert help, Rosaroos.
