I think you mean NI Reaktor.... anyhow, there is MAX/MSP not-for-live, pure data, usine, supercollider, etc... but if you've got a bit of money to spend on convenience or you are interested in the other features of ableton too, it seems like a good idea to go for it and get max for live! smile

Sorry, I didn't mean serious software, i rather meant out-of-the-box software, easy to use. NI Maschine has capabilities like Ableton's Session View, I think. Reaktor, PD, SC, Max. etc are no way easy to use. But they're definitely serious!

What ISN"T there to like about ableton live?

Laptops.

If there's one sequencer that kills the need for laptop-staring, it's Live.

I perform with my laptop closed and

nothing compares...

+ I don't know any other serious non-linear music making/performing software (expect maybe NI Maschine?). It's basically the most complex looping station you can get, you can play patterns of different lengths to get polyrhythmic, stuff like that.

+ Almost everything that was once impossible to do in Live has now been fixed by the user community thanks to Max For Live (www.maxforlive.com) So many great new devices already, and most of them are "open source", like Monolake's Granulator (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pn_b7OUO6I) It's quite expensive to buy MFL though.

+ Using it as a standard sequencer works well. I'm sure not as well as other DAWs in some cases, but it's getting better with every version. The interface is brilliant imo, really compact and without popup windows.

Rokit Powered 8. Very satisfied with them. Flat response. Enough detail (not as much as headphones). Deep bass, no subwoofer needed. Even with the RP5s you don't need a sub if you're in the sweet spot. Payed 500 euros for that pair here in The Netherlands. On eBay you see em for a lot less in the States, but the shipping costs are huge.

http://woolyss.com/ ?

It has a really nicely organized Tracker-by-OS-or-System list:
http://woolyss.com/tracking-trackers.php
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-chiptrackers.php

There's also rather comprehensive VSTi list.
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-plugins.php

Maybe it would make more sense to just link that page instead of cluttering an introductory thread like this with a link collection and focus on Q/A stuff... dunno

Here's the link for the thread with sample resources
http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/136/t … d-samples/

Yes that's it, a very nice website!

every now and then I stumble upon this website with a really big and organized list of chiptune-related software, but now of course I can't seem to find it... maybe someone knows

Lately i've been experimenting with Amiga samples in Ableton Live.

I re-uploaded a great Amiga (ST-01 to ST-B6) sample collection I found:


all the ST-xx sample disks re-archived for modern convenience original LHA files downloaded from http://aminet.net/mods/inst

november 9th 2008
all samples converted to wav for modern convenience, using SoX (http://sox.sourceforge.net).

july 30th 2009

re-organized by: alex mauer

For those who like lo-fi sounds (not per se chip) but are not keen of tracker software:

PXTone
The Windows program George and Jonathan use, including piano rolls, effects, portamento, wav import, etc.

KORG DS-10:
MS-20 emulation with an, imo, extremely clean interface. Includes sequencers, fx, kaoss pad/kaossilator, mixer, etc.
Chiptune influenced track I made as DS-10 Dominator:
https://8bc.org/music/DS-10+Dominator/H … ip-hop%29/

KORG M01:
KORG M1 emulation, pianoroll sequencer, kaoss pad with chord-functions, audio fx, etc.
Unfortunately no (easy) way to do note effects like pitchbend/glissando/vibrato.

Sick basslines indeed! I love the sound of amiga.

I'm looking forward to this one (includes Amiga PAULA emulation)

Run some samples through it and see if I can get some Amiga action out of Ableton Live.
