OK, I am a little surprised I did not have a section for strictly CHIPTUNES!!! Anyway, except this area to get very heavily populated with amazingness... I cleaned up my studio, and finally got to making beats and playing with stuff again. I decided it would be amazing to hook my midines to my NES powerglove.
You actually use a nes controller to change certain perameters (more later!!!!!!!!!!!) | |

I use a cracked version of FLStudio for making (fake) chiptune. Damn fun stuff, that. | |

They are a pretty decent deal, but I have heard it takes months to get yours, as there is one on ebay for hella premium, over $350?!?! I have used FLstudio and all the plug ins, and they are pretty great. However, I wanted to get hardware and the PC stuff is ok, but I switched to a Mac setup.. So, I hooked up the power glove to the nes, controller one, and hooked up the sensors. I hooked the midines out to my MPC 2000xl, and I can trigger the pulse 1/2, wave, noise and drum chanels directly from the Nintendo sound board. In the midi menu, you can change the sound from it. However, I noticed that I can change the sound with movements from the powerglove. It is pretty cool, one hand on the pads, one in the powerglove. I will have a video soonish?! I also have a Commodore 64 with the Piano Overlay, and Music Machine. it is really cool, as it shows you the note you played. So, it is very helpful to learn to read music. There are many parameters you can change, and it sounds so nice with the SID chip inside. LSDJ, is another badass. You can get it on a gameboy cart from Johan Kowalitski, and it is a tracking program. It is a cult and mainstream at the same time. There are so many modders out there, with the 1/8 prosound jack, RCA jack, front light and more... | |

I used to use FL studio, there are quite a few good chiptune plug ins. But, I find that I like samplers and drum machines better than using "software" alone... I did get a new sound card Saffire 40, which is sick. | |

Having virtually no access to extra equipment, FL Studio w/ Peach, Triforce, Toad, Magic 8-bit, etc plugins is the best/easiest way to go. Although I do want to get a Rock Band keyboard for playing the parts instead of just clicking the boxes to program them. Any good Chiptune artist recommendations (apart from Anamanaguchi)? | |

I got a USB keyboard, and the rockband key tar when it was $20 at gamepoop, and I used it with fl, so much better... Go grab any midi or USB, keyboard or drum pad, mpd24, 18, 32, or other USB device, trigger finger, etc.... | |

LSDJ is pretty fun. I wanted to make tunes on the DMG. But I took it apart to add a backlight...that hasn't arrived. So I made one on the SP. Got tired of waiting for the backlight and tried it in the DMG. It sounded different and like crap on the DMG. So what would happen if I made one on the DMG then put it in the SP? >.> | |
