You know Chiptunes yes?

So do you know what a Chiptune is? Are you now asking: "What is Chiptune"?
Well I'ma gonna tell ya what Chipatune is ya!

A Chiptune is (Pretty simply) a tune made on a chip, but the focus on this type of music isn't simply on using any type of chip to make music, It's all about making music using the same sound chips used on old video gaming systems. Have you ever played an old Nintendo system or even an old Atari? Then you've heard Chiptune music before!
These days, video game developers can use cd quality music in there games so there's not a lot of need to use those old synthesized chip sounds anymore, but there are people who now make hobbies out of composing music on those old machines,
The music is really a love or hate type of thing. People either usually love it or find it extremely annoying. I find it cool! :D

So for those of you who are still reading this then check this out!


Have a good weekend! ^_^
