Does anyone know any good chiptune VST plugins? I have a couple. (ymvst, magical8bit, quadrasid.) I'm really looking for something along the lines of a good bass vst or a good dance lead vst! Any suggestions?!

I want to get an LSDJ cart, just don't know how to run trackers very well. =/ But I'll check out chipsounds, like Trash80 suggested.

Seeing as most basic chip sounds are just simple waveforms, a sampler might be handy.

Oh, and you can get some sega genesis-ish sounds out of MDA's DX10 and VOPM is pretty good (though for me, VOPM is awfully quiet compared to other VSTs I have.)

Plogue "chipsounds" is super legit! Really good stuff.

plogue is the pro option. chip32 for something basic, easy and handy. I'll also pimp my own Medusa, although if you wait a bit, I'll release an upgraded version shortly.

Hmm, I've never heard of DX10 but I'll surely give it a try since VOPM is always giving me preset issues. heck, I'll probably end up buying it if it works with my daw, properly.

That video on the chipsounds site is pretty rad!

Also if you have a copy of Reason 4, and you're not a stickler for authentic lo-bit aliasing in your waveforms, THOR is a pretty awesome option.

the Basic_64 is a good free Plug In. I like it.

chipsounds and any sample-based plugin where you can choose or draw a sample are awesome. i like chip32, quadrasid and ymvst; if you go for ymvst though all your instruments will sound like unicorn kid.

Oatmeal - not designed with chipmusic specifically in mind, but it has PWM, FM, osc sync, user hand-drawn waveforms, arps, etc, so it's got everything you need.
