The future of chiptune is the elusive, but ultimately inevitable discovery of the mystical 9th bit.

At home:
1) press play 
2) eat chips.

Live:
1)press play
2) try not to look like an idiot.

Remember... when in doubt, just look at the mixer and keep tweaking knobs on the muted channel....nobody will know.

I think what you're referring to is something like this:

[Bass]
Sounds tailored to the low end of a song. Often short and punchy, but certain bass sounds are sustainable.

[Lead]
Sounds tailored to carry the main melody of a passage in a song. More often than not used in the mid to upper octaves because it pierces the mix well, and it establishes dominance over the other instruments.

[Pad]
Pads are sounds that can be held for a long period of time, often for as long as you hold down the keys. Think of pads as what strings do in an orchestra.  They are generally subtle in nature, used "in the background" to carry the chord progression along without taking too much place as to override the lead. They can have a slow or a fast attack, a monotone or evolving nature...it really depends on what the song needs. Pads are generally used to play chords.

[Keys]
Generally refers to sounds that mimic the amplitude envelope of a piano. Basically any sound that hits at high volume, then fades away.

[Atmosphere]
These types of sounds are often atonal, meaning they carry little to no harmonic or melodic value. Think of white noise simulating ocean waves for example.

[Percussions]
Anything that's short, that hits hard and fade away very quickly. They are mostly atonal sounds, but that is by no means a rule. There are in fact a lot of real world percussive instruments that are very much tonal. But yeah basically: drum-ish sounds.

[SFX]
Short for "sound effects" (of course). These are the weird sounds. Alien spaceship fly-by. Radio tuning between stations. Gunshots, etc.

Aye... I've been lazy as usual. I just sent it to you!

Oh... hey good call. I haven't checked that in ages. I guess you can poke at Kometbomb for him to include them in the standard package. He's been known to give in to pressure if you call him mean names.

While a good pair of headphones is a necessity if you plan on doing "serious" mixing, they will never ever be as helpful as a proper pair of monitors. You don't need to aim for a pair of Genelecs, even just a pair of bog standard KRK or even Behringers will get you better result than any headphones out there. Headphones are terrible when it comes to properly mixing low end or doing any kind of spatial work because you literally have each speaker stuck to an ear. Ideally you need to get both monitors and headphones, but the monitors will give you much more bang for the buck in the end. A mid-range pair of monitors is still better than the absolute best headphones ever.
