Many '82-'84 era C64 games used classical pieces, some of it baroque.  Mainly (I assume) because it was out of copyright but also the SID chip was one of the few home machines at the time that could do multi-voice music.   The tracks back then were usually quite literal note conversions without much attention paid to dynamics, or animation in the instrumentation.  A lot of that tech wasn't fully explored until Rob Hubbard etc. started working on there.

Hello everyone,

I'm not a musician nor a chiptune expert, so I unfortunately have nothing to propose.

I recently was listening to Jean-Baptiste Lully's "Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs" and was wondering what a chiptune translation would sound like.
I'm not talking about a remix, but how it would sound if someone tried to make a faithful rendition using limited instruments, like the SID chip on the C64, or the OPL2/3 on a Soundblaster, etc…

If anyone here is ready to seriously take this challenge, I would be happy to hear about it and give my point of view.

Best regards to everyone.

You should make one. The closest thing I can find is this remix\cover: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Bacal … nie_turque


Also, then there's this gem right here. It sounds like Wendy Carlos pretty much.

Super Madrigal Brothers' Baroque In Voltage might fit the bill.

I made a fakebit version of a baroque-style fugue I wrote a while back:

I have a partially tracked version of 'Zadok the Priest' in LSDJ. If it's ever finished I'll share it here.

I would like to try doing some Bach in LSDJ like this, but with a little more expression and variation in the instruments, Switched-On-Bach style

(you can find a couple more videos by searching for "Bach LSDJ")

Herbert Weixelbaum has done some badass Mozart on Game boy (again you can find more by searching "herbert weixelbaum")

nice musics XyNo...

I've finished the transcription of Lully's march to Megadrive: http://2a03.free.fr/dl.php?file=5298

I'll probably try to improve the instruments and the orchestration later...

Some Commodore64 game music were kinda Baroque.


The Soundtrack of Friday the 13th on C64 is really weird. Some songs are really ridiculous for something from an horror game (like that wedding song) but it's still a good OST

I've started something with the Sega Megadrive chip. It's only the first part at the moment and it sounds rather rough, something like the Orange Mecanique / Clockwork Orange's theme: http://2a03.free.fr/dl.php?file=5288 (it's in vgm format)

edit: and since it was made with DefleMask, I can also export it to SID format: http://2a03.free.fr/dl.php?file=5289 but with only 3 voices it is quite limited.

It's not always the case for all baroque music, but some of them (I think to harpsichord music especially) have a quite harsh sound which turns well on chiptune. The same goes for some ancient instruments (crumhorn, organs)

@tuzuw: yes, that's a major point. When you work with a classic string quartet, there's a lot you can do by just working with articulations and dynamics, which might be a bigger challenge when working with the tools available in chipmusic. On the other hand I didn't want to say that baroque music is simple. Counterpoint is a pretty complex thing to master (just look at Bach), but it's probably more achievable in chipmusic than if you wanted to recreate a romantic symphony. In fact a lot of switched-on classical music focuses on Bach and counterpoint-based music.
