Chiptune Samples for Music Makers
I recently downloaded Nanoloop for my new iPad, in a quest to find a quick and fun way to make chippy kind of beats. I’m traveling to Germany this summer and I don’t want to bring my whole rig, but I definitly want a way to write music. Well, if you haven’t used Nanoloop, I suggest you check it out, it’s a supremely cool micromusic maker (6 tracks, each with one synth or sampler) and the interface on the iPhone/iPad is simply amazing.
What’s more amazing then any particular sequencing software, is this page I ran across today while searching for Chipmusic samples to load into Nanoloop. It holds a wealth of links to chiptune samples, and a ton of them are free. If you’re looking to make chiptune or chip inspired music and don’t know where your old gameboy is, this site will help you out.
Chipmusic by Je Mappelle
Chip-Musician Je Mappelle, aka Lewis Maguire released a new demo on 8bc today that I like so much it moved me to post some of his music. A LSDJ artist, Je Mappelle continues to release music that pushes the Chipmusic genre forward. Enjoy his new song, your, on 8bitcollective, and listen to a few of my favorites below.

Tettix – A New Challenger!
I’ve been reading through some of my old posts and realizing I need to be less excited and more coherent when I write on VideoGameDJ. So I think I’m doing good with this one, presented a Chiptune album by Tettix (formally known as Cicada). This album features prominate chiptunes artists Alex Mauer, Derris-Kharlan, Disasterpeace, Hélas Techne and Minusbaby for a rock solid street-fighter themed album. It’s a free download, so go get it!
