Chiptunes
Hi,
I'm nostalgic of my old atari st sounds.
Are there some good programs to compose chiptune musics and sounds ? One working on Linux would be great.
Is there a special file format ?
Do libs exist to replay them from a game ? for Java or C++.
Thanks for any clue !
If you are not limited to Linux only, check out Renoise 2.0 (which is available for Linux, though) and ReFX's QuadraSID VSTi plugin (which is PC/MAC only). It's closer to the C64 than to the Atari ST, obviously, but I haven't heard a better plugin for chip sounds so far.
I have tried various 8bit VSTi's like peach, magical64 etc. but none of them had expressive arpeggiated sounds. Does any one have a recommendation?

Thanks, Renoise looks great, I'll try to learn it !
Now a fun thing would be do be able to 'draw' curves to create unique samples. Are there any VST plugins that would allow that and run on linux ?

You could check out www.8bc.org - theres a load of Creative Commons licensed chiptune there which, if you can get permission from the owner, you will be able to use. Make sure your understand the CC license on a song before you start using it, though.
My page with my music on it is here:

Also, you can draw your own waveform in Renoise. I forget the details, but I know its a pretty basic feature of it.

There is simply a "draw" button. I was just too lazy to even look at the whole screen before asking. Thanks for the indication, and another nice bookmark.
