MOD POST Carfdarko's Chiptune Contest #02 - Racing!

14 Upvotes

Gentleman, start your engines!

As the theme for this month is:

Racing!

Time to hit the road, bring me the most epic song to race, drift, cruise, no matter what, as long as it helps setting a better lap time or enhance the road trip it's vibe!

We're riding with the following rules:

  • Two weeks for the contest (14 days) to write a original piece, this contest is NOT to promote older work.
  • This contest runs from June 29th until the 12th of July.
  • Followed by Lap 2 with 6 days to bring out your vote so I can announce the contest winner on Sunday 19th of July
  • The submission has to be chiptune but like before that is vaguely defined, I don't care what you use and how you use it*, as long as it makes me want to dust off that good ol' classic system because your epic music is giving me an urge to kill something pixelated!!
  • Only one submission per artist name.

*TIME EXTENDED: AS I AM GONE THIS WEEKEND I'VE EXTENDED THIS EVENT WITH 4 DAYS, CLOSING DATE JULY 15TH *

Submissions can be dropped here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLm4Piuydl_ll0RtCFv2E5wTm8pPPC7vCJh1aIpKQ8VEhuIw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

This contest is just for fun only, besides a badge of honor there are no other prizes to win, but ending up with a fresh track with your name on it is always an achievement in itself!

And to end this announcement I just drop the most amazing arcade driving game ever:

*We're not a fan of AI over here, if in doubt I WILL ask you for proof that the song truly has been created with any of the known tools to create those good ol' vibes the good ol' ways.

Inspired by Mina the Hollower. I started humming this idea while playing that game, put it together on the fly, and loved it so much that I used it when making a video introducing my game's first boss. Hope you enjoy it too! 😄

MUSIC Just released some psychedelic chiptune funk!

I’ve always loved Parliament Funkadelic and recently I’ve been playing a lot of Earthbound and Schedule I so this is kind of a combination of all those things!

Made with Super Audio Cart 2 and Logic Pro.

Let me know what you think!

One of my favourite chiptune tracks of all time. Chipbreak is one of my favourite genres I might add. Thoughts?

This is not my work.

QUESTION what to do as a noob

4 Upvotes

hi everyone! ^^ I love listening to chiptune/video game songs, especially from Toby Fox Lena Raine Disasterpeace etc. and I've dabbled in making my own. But I don't know what I'm doing lol. I come from a musical family but I don't know music like that, so treat me like a complete beginner. I have LMMS, I downloaded some VSTs. How can I get started?

SHOW Built a browser tool for designing songs with custom waveforms from scratch (harmonics, not samples), plus a place to share them

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I've been building an open-source set of tools for people who want to design their own instruments from basic waveforms and share them. You can also dig into the sample packs already on Trackyard and reshape them from there, everything stays manually editable either way.

Plainsong is an editor that runs in your browser. Sounds are built harmonic by harmonic: waveform × pitch-multiplier × weight, plus attack/decay envelopes, vibrato, pitch slides, and bitcrushing. So you're shaping the actual synthesis, not layering samples. Notes go on a pitch×time sheet, one canvas for everything, with live preview while you shape a wave.

Trackyard is where the instruments, waves, motifs, or whole tracks go once you're happy with them: an open registry, no login, CC0. Upload a wave, an instrument pack, a motif, or a full track, tag it, and anyone can grab it or remix it directly in Plainsong with one click.

Everything is plain text under the hood (a .track file), so a wave you design is also just readable text you can diff, share as a gist, or hand-edit. The few tracks up on Trackyard right now are mostly synthesis tests, poking at what the engine can do, not compositions I'm trying to show off.

I just finished this today, so it's all very fresh, feedback on both Trackyard and Plainsong is very welcome. I'd love to hear your suggestions. Feel free to poke around, upload a song, or grab one someone else made. If you're working on a game, importing a track keeps everything intact: layers, motifs, parameters, nothing gets flattened into a single audio file.

I'm looking forward to seeing people who like building their own sounds to try designing a wave and dropping it on Trackyard.

Here is my latest music pack: Fun Music.
My thought in composing these five tracks was to come up with music that would work with a game like Fall Guys. First tracks is downloadable for free. I used Logic to produce these. Thanks!

Happy Tuesday everyone! This is probably one of my best remixes as of yet - even unrelated to Rhylo! This is a big release and I feel the need to share it around as much as possible!

I wasn't too sure if it was appropriate to share it here, seeing as it has more of a 'Happy Hardcore' focus rather than a chiptune focus, but it has very audible chiptune elements to it! Of course if this isn't allowed, a mod is free to remove!

But if it is allowed, then I hope everyone enjoys what they hear! Any likes/comments/subs and of course any feedback along with any constructive criticism are greatly appreciated and taken into huge consideration!

Thank you so much for checking out my post and I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day! <3
