Brand new review of chipcrusher! wavepusher.com/review-chipc...

Earlier in the month #truecuckoo visited @plgdavid.bsky.social’s obsolete device basement and decided to turn the camera on.

Quick tutorial on controlling #C64 SID chip from your DAW with some fantastic products: TeensyROM or USBsid-Pico, paired with Chipsynth C64. Here’s how to do it. I'll drop product links in comments. #chiptune 👾

Happy Saturday! Here's a little bit of some v. 80s synth film music I made, with me (🦖) 'playing the desk' live in renoise - featuring noises created with the wonderful Chipsynth OPS7 and MD vst's by my mates at @plogue.com <3 x #renoise #chipsynth #filmmusic #gamedev #vst

Love early lo-fi gaming verbs? The chipcrusher v2.123 beta update has you covered with MT32 and AWE32 effect impulse responses, captured *straight off hardware* using custom sound ROMs. Beta in our forums. CLAP and Linux too!

We might seem quiet, but that doesn't mean we are not hard at work! We have just uploaded beta versions of _all_ our plugins to Linux, and hope to get back to work on the 4 NEW chipsynths in the pipes full time. Yes! Three of those have not been announced yet. FC is still our priority of course.

This eve's result of me messing about doodling with the wonderful Chipsynth MD by @plogue.com + a little bit of cab simulation + distortion + verb <3 (all instrument / perc sounds from that VST)

Looking for chipsounds and chipspeech license owners that have since switched to Linux. We have a beta for you!

Any sforzando user want to give our latest Linux beta a spin?

Testing out the new hdd - here's a little morning #doodle of Renoise + lovely FM VST's by @plogue.com (Chipsynth MD + Chipsynth OPS7) few vst's even come close to what an actual FM chip+output sound like: a joy to use <3 the sampled perc sounds are emu'd thru the MD vst too, love that DAC crunch.

And now for some Genesis/MegaDrive! youtu.be/NQd7JF8Krfg?...

A few folks asked how I get that #MegaDrive FM sounds. I’m using plugins from @plogue.com. They sound very authentic ! 🖤 #vgm #retrogamemusic #16bit #chiptune #DTM #gamedev #gameaudio #gamemusic

Aparently I just made a rather important discovery about the old (letter-less) RP2A03. Lidnariq (NESDEV guru just confirmed from die shots) essentially the lowest noise period value is different: 2046 instead of the 4068 in later revisions. This might change how certain sound effects sound

Ten years ago today, a unique synthesizer concept merged with the stunning artistic vision of our dear friend @pixoshiru.bsky.social. chipspeech was born on January 15th, 2015. Heartfelt thanks to the fanbase for expanding their stories and keeping them alive over the years.

Crazy creative uses of chipsynth C64 as a synth engine for a real SID down the chain in here youtu.be/Ek9lazsRBLw?...

I wish I started using @plogue.bsky.social’s Bidule sooner. Coming up with solutions for crazy, edge-case midi routing problems tickles my brain in all the right ways.
