8-bit samples

Does anyone know where I can get some samples of 8-bit sounds? like old gameboy/nintendo noises.

why not try to make them?

its really just a case of simple waveforms and playing the right chords etc.

then use a bit rate, reduction plug-in to get that 8-Bit sound

that should get you something like you want

Here is a little somethin i did with two synth and a midi file of mario i d/l free off the net

took me very little time to do

think about it, the computers back then didn't have complex synths in them, just wave form generators, no filters of fancy shit

keep it simple

Haha nice one Ghost sounds very Nintendesque

cheers for the help,

but theres an artist I really like called Sabrepulse, and he uses alot of chiptune sounds and it's not just the beeps that I wanted to get hold of. Anyone that listens to him will sorta know what I mean.

He makes them using a special cart that he puts in his gameboy, but i don't have one nor do I wish to buy one.

This song features some of the sounds I'm on about (about 3:00 onwards):

Since we're on the topic of Sabrepulse, does anyone know what snare he uses (at 1:30 and 2:55) on this track?:

eZ.

Thats exactly what I want, well bar the price tag.
Anyone know where I can get that or similar for free?

Try and search for them on a torrent site or something !?

Or try a p2p program like ares or emule.

get a back issue of cm, whole sample dvd devoted to 8-bit sounds, wierd loops, fx, drums etc, pretty good imo, should only set ya back £6 tops.

try this, this and this pure nintendo like synths and they are all free.

Funny !!

Learn !?

Best thing to do is not have a set plan on what you want to create when you start out ...

Just select random sounds and experiment.

Cool tracks can be produced that way too !
