But for the archiving, sorting etc.. I rely on my memory
Samesies! Instead of spending the time to look for and try batch conversion utilities, I just do it the hard way; one at a time, using my ancient copy of Sound Studio. I suppose I just have too much spare time. ^^;;;
Apologies for the necrobump, but I bought one of these today and it's lovely! Been running my PSP running LGPT through it, it adds a lovely dirty haze to everything that punches up some of my less multilayered tunes beautifully
The synth is useless for melodies, but actually surprisingly okay for soundscaping when run through a massive delay. For £39, really excellent value!
I got one for Christmas. They are a lot of fun, but I've mostly used it for drone/ambient/soundscape stuff so far as well.
I just jizzed in my pants. O_O
AWESOME, it's the Nokia N-Gage all over again! But the fun doesn't stop there, if by some amazing stroke of bad luck it's a commercial failure then at least we will get entertaining websites (such as this: http://www.sidetalkin.com/ ) out of the whole affair.
I did something for this ages ago, or maybe it was something ant1 was doing, but anywho, it's not on this thing so here it is: http://chipmusic.org/j.+arthur+keenes/music/couchgrass
I was wondering about that.... I remember you being listed as a contributor in the original thread and I was looking forward to hearing your track (your track on the elevator music comp was awesome!)
A couple a months back, Byzantine starting arranging a "fakebit" comp on the website which cannot be named. Since the website which cannot be named has apparently become the website which cannot be loaded, this comp seems to have slipped through the cracks unfortunately.
After a brief search, I discovered that Byzantine apparently finished up the comp and uploaded it to archive.org for your listening pleasure. This collection features some excellent contributions from Fragile Chaos!, FantomenK, Seence, Starpilot, Hexwolves, Awesome Force, el Musho, Byzantine, Subterrestrial, Decktonic, Knot_L0, _ensnare_, Dj Hollow Life and ant1.

^tyvm for compiling an intel mac version!
Actually compiled by chaircrusher but, yes many thanks to him for looking out for us Mac folks! I would have had neither the patience nor the know-how to compile this myself.
can anyone compile me a working mac osx version of this? I am unfortuanately too n00b to have ever got it working!
Try one of these, as appropriate:
Intel build
http://www.cornwarning.com/xfer/PaulStr … X-x386.dmg
PPC Build
http://www.cornwarning.com/xfer/PaulStretch-OSX-PPC.dmg
Paulstretch is fun to play with and I like the way it smooths out the resultant sound file, unlike many other time stretching tools what I don't like is all the extra reverb it seems to add. Now I'm definitely a reverb sort of guy, I make liberal use of it in my music, but I like to have a little more control over it.
chipmusic.org FTW!
Best troll thread EVAR.
I heard Jose is baking us brownies
"Do they have weed in them?" -Darnell Rawlings/Real Mad World (alas, I tried to find an image, but....)
LOL! I was wondering when someone was going to start this thread. It's been down since yesterday. I can't open any of the forum topics. It says....
An error was encountered
Error: Unable to fetch topic list.
I'm only really disappointed because I was looking forward to the "fakebit" comp being posted. But getting back to weather, it's a balmy 57 here in the Bay Area. Sorry about that crappy weather guys (I hear it's raining in MA, ice storms O_O,) but as a native Californian I wish I could trade places with you if only for a day! If only so I can be snowed in and miss work. Whoops.....
Trash 80 recommended me the fantastic twisted wave editor - which has a free 30 day trial and, in the file menu, open from youtube.
The quality isn't perfect, but you can get TONS TONS TONS of unique samples through this.
Synth demos, some dude showing off his 808, weird chicks trying to sing...
Thanks for the tip! I have been looking for a Mac-compatible replacement for my current wave editors, which include an ancient (but still functional) version of Sound Studio and Audacity (which is very unstable for some reason.)
Not sure how many of you are Kontakt users but lately, I've been surfing for free Kontakt samples/instruments and I've turned up quite a number that I'd like to share. There has been more than one list compiled on the net in the past, but not for a long time and they all contain many dead links. I haven't tried all of the samples listed below yet, but the ones I have heard sound great. All of them are interesting and/or useful IMHO. 
Kantele (Finnish zither instrument)
http://www.ajatarsampling.com/
Tongue drums and Magnus chord organ (air organ)
http://audiogeneticslab.com/
Djembe (African goblet drum) samples are mapped with the center of the drum head at C3. As you move up or down, you are moving out towards the rim with C2 and C4 as the rim shots!

TONS of free packs, including Bavarian Zither, Medieval Psaltery, accordion, harmonica and ocarina, plus a bunch of experimental percussion sets made from every day objects and granular synthesis. You have to sign up for a customer account, but I think it's worth it.

Created by sound designer Erik Ekholm, 4 packs of pads, dark atmosphere, hits and loops for sound design and composition

Melodica!

Many great free packs, not the least of which include the incredible Hammond Novachord
http://www.hollowsun.com/HS2/freepacks/index.htm
A pack of three instruments, two of which are pads. But the one that interested me the most was ArabFlutist, a flute tuned to a harmonic minor third.

Haven't really posted much in the way of drums, because I haven't been looking for that sort of thing but there are a lot of them out there. If any one is interested I can dig some up. 
Updated first post! Thanks all for contributing, special thanks to Subterrestrial for his excellent link collections.
I've added a few myself:
Sound recordings by satellites of various extraterrestrial EM phenomena
http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/space-audio/4300(!) single cycle waveforms, perfect for making those 4k or 8k modules

You're very welcome and thank you for compiling and updated this invaluable thread!
You're all invited to explore the hollow earth for various (mostly) creative commons chip and non-chip sounds.
