Author Topic: chiptune waves equivalent to real instruments  (Read 732 times)

correct me if im wrong, but im having some trouble comprehending chiptune waves, so you can also be confused with me.

How I see it so far

high triangle = flute
low triangle = bass?

pulse = melody of song/bass?

sine = guitar?

sawtooth = melody/bass

high noise = hi-hat
mid noise = snare
low noise = bass drum/kick

this sound correct to anyone?


square = bloop
narrow pulse = blip
wide pulse = beep
triangle = ooooo
noise= CHCCHCHHHCHHHHH

wide pulse = beep

noise= CHCCHCHHHCHHHHH
sawtooth = *blood dripping out of ears*

Just do whatever sounds good, man

>comparing chiptune to real music
lol how ironic is it that a completely archaic limitation of classic music production is now worshipped as its own genre despite the fact that all the instruments sound like booty. especially when you can just use a real instrument or one that actually sounds like one

its like the twitters guys who take pictures using huge 50s cameras and be like 'im a true photographer' despite the fact that real high quality cameras exist lol

People can use whatever the forget they want to express their creativity. Sometimes limitations create inspiration, and the product of working around a limited environment can lead to a greater fundamental understanding of “easier to use” devices. People apply artificial limitations to music all the time, real instruments or not.
