An introduction to the June daily countdown to the #1 NES soundtrack-
A couple months ago, members of the Minibosses / shizz message board cast their votes for their favorite classic Nintendo soundtracks. Inspired by previous polls held like the top 10 SNES games, I organized two rounds of voting. The first was a week long open vote, where members were asked to choose and rank their favorite soundtracks. Everything was fair game, including Japanese and European exclusive titles.

Now, all three of these great tastes are smooshed together into one awesome collection from VORC Records. Titled 8bit Prophet: TM Network Tribute – Generated by Chiptuine & Vocaloid, the album consists of eleven songs from a wide range of chiptune producers, wrapped into one incredibly beautiful package (illustrated by TOKIYA.) Follow me across the jump for a full review and sound clips!

Sounds like this is the first Pixelh8 program that really has lots of useful live performance tools. As someone who has been mostly disappointed by the DS offerings, this looks like it will be a very useful program.
The Pixelh8 Music Tech Master Stroke DS is a real time synthesizer for the Nintendo DS system it allows for extensive sound design and is the natural evolution of the Music Tech Series allowing for the classic chip tune sound on a modern device.
The new system allows for keyboard style play by pressing “X” to bring up the 2 Ocatve Xylophone or classic Music Tech mode by using the directional pad to control the sounds in the same way as the Music Tech Game Boy and Pro Performer Game Boy Advance.
