8-Bit Chip

Traditionally, 8-Bit music is created in what can be described as a spreadsheet-like environment, where pitches and effects are coded one at a time. My idea was to put all the major 8-bit voices (Pulse 50%/25%/12%, Triangle, and Noise) into a single piano keyboard setup, allowing any piano-savvy musician to quickly start writing some chiptune goodness.
• Pulse (3 variants), triangle, and noise wave samples
• Simple all-in-one keyboard layout
• "Legato" effect
• Vibrato, tremolo, slide (portamento), attack, and release controls
Tech Specs:
- SFZ Format (Level 2.0)

Works in most DAWs and notation software using Plogue's sforzando, a free SFZ player that functions as both a standalone player, as well as a VST/AU/RTAS/AAX plugin.
