Chiptune was really there for me this summer.  This album is dedicated to those memories.

(Seriously, get it. You won't regret)

This song is meant to symbolize the final stretch of a big dangerous adventure, parting ways with old friends along the way. 
If this was part of a video game, it would play on the last level before the final boss ;) 

A million thanks to everyone who supported me in the creation of this, especially Clover, CornetTheory and Sebb01. 

Shoutouts to the Viiganusser team, the Abiko folks, the awesome chipwin community, and SimpleFlips. 


Made in Reaper using many many freeware plugins, no paid plugins used. Oh also a guitar, i guess. 

Emulating various classic chips (SID, 2A03, SPC700, YMF262), using samplerate reduction and bit reduction on some other instruments to get that nice cozy aliased Amiga feel. The tune was made with 8 note polyphony and certain size limitations in mind, including sampled chords, so that it can potentially be ported to my favorite soundchip, the SNES SPC700, without much loss. (Yes this seems crazy, but i can asure you this fits in 8 channels + 1 "channel" with stuff streamed to the echo buffer from ROM). 

Full list of plugins used: 

38911 bytes, Acon Digital Multiply, Ambient Reverb, C700VST, DD BitCrusher, Digital Drum Compressor (Reaper builtin), Digital Versatile Compressor (Reaper builtin), Dream 64, Guitar Rig 5 (Free Version), JuceOPLVSTi, Leet Delay 2, magical8bitPlug, MH Thump, PanCake2, preFIX, ReaComp, ReaDelay, ReaFir, ReaXcomp, TAL Filter 2, TX16Wx, W1 Limiter.

Spacetunes = WIN

A Long Way From Home

My entry for Chiptunes=WIN "Spacetunes=WIN" compilation which I'm thrilled to be a part of! The order of magnitude of epic music on this comp is of interstellar gravitational force! Thank you Chiptunes=WIN team and fellow artists for this super cosmic album!!

I wanted to explore a track that had a drum & bass feel to it while giving a sense of outer space which is cold, sterile but wondrous and beautiful. I decided on the use of frequency modulation synthesis as a core part of the instrumentation for its somewhat cold, digital, metallic sound and tone that it's known for.

I achieved this by using software synths such as ALYJAMES LAB's wonderful FMDrive based on the SEGA Genesis/Megadrive YM2612 FM sound chip. I also utilized the emulation of this chip through Deflemask using the Sega Genesis engine to make samples. NES 2A03 chip pulse channel was used via Famitracker. I also used Native Instruments FM8 VST. I pulled some fat bass out of the QuadraSID VST emulating the Commodore 64's MOS Technology 6581 SID (Sound Interface Device)chip. FMDrives Shinobi patch was used for bass as well.

On the flip side of FM, I always like to bring some element of fusion into my tracks so I decided on adding some analog warmth since outer space is freezing cold but also full of extremely hot things like stars! For this, I chose Oberheim OB-X emulation via sonicprojects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog VST for the pad chords derived from the OB's "Drifting Strings" patch. 

On top of that I used my typical method for tracking leads with single cycle waveforms; in this case, PWM and square waves. Other melodic lines and effects via sine and sawtooth waves. The Drums were created using samples from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters and Street Fighter 2 as well as Stagg DH hi-hat samples. 

All of this was sequenced or "tracked" within Renoise V3.1.1 which is my tracker of choice these days when I'm not using Fami/Defle/Schism or other various trackers. Basically this all adds up to an 80s/90s feel with drum & bass and demoscene elements. Hopefully I achieved my goal of creating a outer space themed atmospheric / high-energy, exciting track!

A big thanks to all involved and to everybody that enjoys my song. I highly recommend hopping over to the Bandcamp page (Buy Link)and grabbing this album. It's a seriously great compilation that is a definite stand-out for me from all of Chiptunes=WIN's offerings and for that matter, any other chip compilation <3
