The Zipper (plus pimped version)

A track about being stuck
I'm playing around with 1 Bit waveforms at the moment. This was made with a dedicated VSTi (working title: Nautilus) that's almost complete. You're listening to 7 voices, plus 4 samples (loaded into the VSTi), FM, AM, and Super-Square (what Kraken does). Splitting the MIDI channels allows for mixing inside the VSTi, which is done by OR and XOR logic, selectable for each voice channel respectively.
If someone should look at the waveform and notice a third level (zero), this only happens when no voice channel is active, ie the instrument is really only 1 bit. I did this for convenience sake, should I want to mix this instrument with others in the future because positive-only waveforms are icky to mix.
The upload is raw without any effects, but here's a pimped version with more drums, eq, stereo and stuff:
