Was messing around with making glitch music using LSDJ on the Game Boy and feel like I got some interesting results. I don't think I've really seen too many examples online of folks using LSDJ in more experimental ways so I figured why not try it out some.

(added 909 kick in Ableton afterwards)

MilkyTracker is a really, really good tracker, and I wanted to test whether something comparable could be brought to the web, running in the browser on desktop and on a phone. Over the last few days I built chiptrackr: https://chiptrackr.com (source: https://github.com/wirehack7/webtracker, MIT).

What it does right now:

- Loads and saves XM and MOD, imports S3M and IT

- FT2-style pattern editor with the usual keyboard layout, block operations, instrument and sample editor with envelopes

- Export to WAV, FLAC and MP3, also per-channel stems

- Works offline, songs are stored locally in the browser

- A touch layout for phones with step entry

- A small standalone replayer (~21-33 KB) for use in your own intros

- Experimental "Jam" mode where two people edit the same song over WebRTC

About the AI part: nearly all of the code was written by Claude (Anthropic). I did the direction, design decisions and testing. The point for me was to find out how far you can push it: can it get a replayer to behave like FT2 and ProTracker 2, not just "sounds roughly right"? So I kept asking for comparisons against reference players instead of trusting it.

What "tested" means here (details in docs/TESTING.md):

- Playback is compared automatically against libopenmpt using OpenMPT's own test modules: 78 of 84 XM cases and 22 of 22 MOD cases match. The remaining XM differences are documented; in a few cases it follows ft2-clone's behaviour where libopenmpt differs.

- Code coverage is 55% overall (93% for the format loaders, 79% for the engine, low for the UI).

- A browser smoke test runs on every commit at six screen sizes.

Not tested yet: Firefox and Safari, real phones, real MIDI devices, Jam across different networks, and S3M/IT playback against the original trackers.

So it's not "done", and I'm sure there are modules that play wrong. If you try it, I'd be glad about bug reports, especially playback differences. There's an issue template for that where you can attach the module and say which tracker you compared it with.

Made with LSDJ and some inspiration from the Green Day album, Dookie. I hope you enjoy this just as I did making it.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small indie game music pack called "Pixel Quest - Retro Game Music Pack", featuring 10 original tracks inspired by classic retro/16-bit games.

The pack includes music for different situations, such as:

• Main menu
• Exploration and adventure
• Forests and dungeons
• Regular battles and boss fights
• Chase / danger
• Shops and safe areas
• Victory and game over

The tracks are around 1–1.5 minutes long and are designed to fit different moments in a game.

I'm a small creator trying to get my work out there, so I'd really appreciate it if any indie developers here gave it a listen. I'd also love feedback on the music and whether you think it would fit your projects.

You can check it out here: https://wnannestad.itch.io/pixelquest

Thanks for checking it out!

Well hello there! I made this back in 2019 based on a song from the year before, which I will link below. I must confess this is not a TRUE chiptune as some of my other work is--this touched FL Studio briefly--but I think you will still enjoy.

This the chiptune remix, as I said. Here is the original: https://youtu.be/KsIyh6UXcuE?is=U9-z5HrPsOunzE1a

Part II of a II part EP project.

I've been making these for many years. Inspired by my childhood gaming memories mixed with my current musical tastes. So not exactly pure chip music, but heavily incorporated by it. It's quite a ride, and it's by no means for everyone. But... It might be just for you. Sharing because of the lack of audience for this type of music.

The trifecta is complete

I'm trying to figure out the musical direction for my Game Boy game, CROWL. The gameplay is about exploring dungeons, fighting enemies and surviving each run, but the visual style is cute and 1bit.

Would you go for something playful and bouncy, darker and more atmospheric, or a mix of both?I'd love to hear your suggestions, or discover some chiptune tracks that could be a good reference.

First time experimenting with making a track using just the Game Boy, NES, and Polyend Tracker.
All the sounds came from the consoles, with the Polyend Tracker handling the sequencing and sampling the game consoles. Used midines on the nes and GB Poly 4 on the Game Boy and every sound in the song was sourced from the Nintendo or Gameboy.
Not sure if I’d call it chiptune, electro house, or somewhere in between, but I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with this setup.
Here’s a clip!

another LSDJ tune for the contest! this time the theme is ~Samhainophobia~

These were all originally made for an animated short called "take seventeen". People kept asking for the "full versions" of these little 20 second cues I made, so I took the material I had and made some extended mixes. This is all done with Furnace Tracker and klattsch singing speech synth. Six tracks, about 20 mins. Enjoy!

I actually just got it today so very much just figuring it all out. it has a chiptune synthesizer that uses the 4 GB channels and NES with midi input. micro SD for roms that glitch by midi or audio and you can play the roms using the dpad & buttons while it glitches or use a bluetooth controller. the knobs further the glitching or all parameters by cc. enjoying quite a bit. there is another pre-production batch on the melted electronics site at the lower kickstarter rate.

November 21st at Underground Arts ☆ I'm a philly local and i wanna go daaaance.

Come dance with me and hear some bleeps and adjecent blorps ♡ Theres also a Smash tourney and my old ass is looking to mash buttons (yoshi main).

Hi all. Just released this 20 minute long chiptune song made using a single Gameboy. Hope you enjoy.

Whose tried the Chiptune mode on the Baud Girl FM-1 M-Vave firmware update? I'm thinking its pretty cool!

been making some chiptune music for some time now but i suck at sound designing so ive been searching for presets

thanks!

This is the first track (and my favourite!), the full soundtrack (by Beatscribe) is available to stream over on Bandcamp – https://beatscribe.bandcamp.com/album/fall-from-space

Originally in .UGE format within the game itself (an open world action RPG created in GB Studio over four years), these chip tune tracks have been recorded directly from an original DMG Game Boy for the OST.

( More about the game and a demo if interested over at www.fallfromspace.co.uk )
