How to create "8bit tune" in SunVox

[madquakerone]

omg, that was... cool :) looks very simple, when you look at work of a real pro

[BarnyDakota]

It would be awesome if you could annotate what you're actually doing when you're putting in those numbers cos it's great you're showing us how to make those sounds but that's all you're doing, you're not explaining what you're doing.

[giygasinfector]

You truly are a SunVox god

[astarothgr]

i came.

[mantanz]

Wow, this is AWESOME! I've been looking all over for VST sequencers to do 8-bit chiptunes but it seems I don't need them! Just wish I had your talent! LOL

[ArchTV]

This isn't 8-bit music, this is just a flatout chiptune. Regardless its 8-bit sounds, this sound does not use 8 bits per sample, in fact, theoretically it uses 32.

[mxBug]

@ArchTV Don't be a pedant...if you've used SunVox you know that you can use a distortion module to compress anything to 8-bit audio. I doubt you would hear much of a difference, though...the distinctive sound of a chiptune is due to the crude, unfiltered generators, not the bit depth (which is why NR used quote marks in the title).

i wonder how high quality music looks like in binary XD

[sgenofly]

Software from 80's.... But i don't like this software, not intuitive.

[NightRadio2007]

@sgenofly Modular synthesizers - software from 80's? :)

[Flrestarter]

@sgenofly Not intuitive?? OOOOOOO K

[EuPhobos]

Ого! Нихрена себе на что способна эта прога) Даже и подумать не мог, что такой музыкальный процессор может быть на маэмо)

Респект разработчикам!

[TheCunningAndFought]

oh cool thanks for this. Now I kind of have a better idea of what to actually do with this, because of my apparent retardation when it comes to most technology other than photoshop...which is weird..since that's considered confusing haha

Thanks again man

[aaronbrakefield]

i need some help please. I just wrote a track using sunvox and when i try to export it to my cpu it wont recognize the file. i know there has to be a way to do this, as i want the files in my itunes and have done this with programs such as beatmaker. ive gone to the import/export menu and typed in the browser address and everything. it just keeps telling me it wont recognize the file, no matter what i open it with. help please!

[NightRadio2007]

@aaronbrakefield You must download your song (songname.sunvox) to desktop computer (via WiFi export), and then open desktop version of the SunVox and load this song.

@NightRadio2007 Here's a tutorial for ya:

Buy a C64 and stop being a poser.

[pulketo]

Wow you are a very talented man... and awesome programmer too...

[TheAlienDragons]

@pulketo I have to agree with you, pulketo.

[29tomlowhalo]

download mario paint, just type on google, 100 times simpler

[NightRadio2007]

@29tomlowhalo possible :) But SunVox is not only for 8-bit

[Kyorere23]

@29tomlowhalo sunvox is 100 times better. mario paint is a little kid's game

[ElectricPandaa]

@29tomlowhalo True, i use it, but not as cool as this video sounds.

[ElectricPandaa]

Hello.I want to ask a question.I'm thinking about downloading sunvox, but I don't know anything about this stuff (well, I play piano, marimba and drums) and my computers kinda slow sometimes. do you think its a good choice?

[semimaru666]

looks awesome but confusing ill try it out

[app0the]

Cool! Good job!

[cinexstudios]

gotta love this! i've got in my iPhone and PC now.. gonna try it later and make some music - thanks for the tutorials! :D cheers

[liloninja]

Hi, I have a question. I see that 0008 is effect of arppegio, can you explain me how the number after like "0507" works in this effect? I am trying to discover the pattern of this but I have no clue.

Thanks!

[NightRadio2007]

@liloninja @liloninja Hi! You can find explanation in the official user manual :) Example:

Note = C3; PPPP = 0407 (second note increment = 4; third note increment = 7)

this will attempt to produce a C-major chord. At the beginning of a line the C3 note is played, then at 1/3 of the way through the line the note is retriggered at E-3, 2/3 of the way through it is retriggered at G3, and at the beginning of the next line it is retriggered at C3 again.

[liloninja]

@NightRadio2007 Amazing explanation. Now it's clear... sorry to bother you! And thanks! keep up the good job with SunVox!

Hugs!

[liloninja]

My god, this program is amazing =O

[RoccoWOUTERS]

After seeing this, I still don't have a clue what is happening. Really, some description of what you're actually doing would be nice :)

[aP0cAl1pSeHacker]

Thanks

[yeudaba]

You make it look so simple! More! More!

[DeansMacbook]

Totally getting this RIGHT NOW. Thats some sick stuff.

[imUploader]

Omg, this sounds nice!

Where can i get the software?

[dinnertime]

i must learn this program.

[Doyubi]

Great. I'd like to suggest FamiTracker for 8-bit sound, though :P

[crocz]

Nice

[drewzletube]

great video! i'm still learning my way around Sunvox (new to trackers) so it's great to see it demonstrated like this. it'd be great to see some more videos : )

[NightRadio2007]

no problem :)

[Matchugovsky]

we want more tutorials!
