Sound Chip

For the MSX distinct solid upgrades, such as the Konami SCC, the Yamaha YM2413 (MSX-MUSIC) and Yamaha Y8950 (MSX-AUDIO, previous of the OPL3) and the OPL4-based Moonsound were released as well, each having its own characteristic chiptune sound.

The chip scene is far from dead with "compos" being held, groups releasing bop disks and with the cracktro/demo scene. Au Courant tracker tools are management chip like sounds getable to less techy musicians. The NES platform has the MidiNES, a cartridge that turns the system into a full blown hardware MIDI controlled Synthesizer. Recently, for the Commodore 64, the Mssiah deadbeat been released, which is correct similar to the MidiNES, but with greater description controls, sequencing, analog drum emulation, and Sound Chip constrained sample playback. On the DOS platform, Double Time Tracker is single of the most famous chiptune makers because of the ability to create hand-drawn samples with the mouse.
