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 Wink

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?:

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 !

Hello everybody,
I know that this thread is old. But maybe, it will be helpful to share a resource about 8-bit samples :
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-samples.php

...and about 8-bit plugins (VST, AU, RTAS) :
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-plugins.php

...you can use 8-bit sound generators too !
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-generators.php

Main resource is totally free. Happy
