The goal, when designing "8-Bit Chip", was to create something that was friendly to a musician, rather than a programer.
Traditionally, 8-Bit music is created in what can be described as a spreadsheet-like environment, where pitches and effects are coded one at a time. My idea was ...

Atari 2600 GM Bank
by stgiga, little-scale, drunkenjesus, akwf, Gashisoft, Zandro ReveilleUploaded on Jul 11, 2019 (and last updated on Apr 17, 2024)
This is a GM bank based on Atari 2600 that uses period accurate samples to reproduce GM tunes as if made on Atari 2600. It uses distortion 3 and distortion 15 plus the bassy wave to span all 128 keys with a note. The drums are AY/YM noise with some overdrive like on Sunsoft 5B mixer. The GM melodic bank sound effects use Ricoh 2A03 noise from the NES. This makes up most of the bank along with the pitching of Atari's 32 pitches recorded from hardware. I, stgiga balanced and...
A tiny ~128ish sample 11khz Mobile Ice Cream Truck TI SN7 filtered PSG Soundfont in 6868 bytes.
by stgiga, [nowanonymous], Zmey Kolbasnik, and Yingchun Soul, and also formerly Zandro Reville and GashisoftUploaded on Jul 11, 2019 (and last updated on Apr 17, 2024)
This sub-7KiB GM soundfont works on all midi players. It uses a 9 sample filtered square wave for melody and a 118 sample filtered periodic Noise wave for drums and sfx. Also note that the square is 11025hz sample rate and the noise is 11025hz sample rate, meaning that one can use it in scenarios of the worst quality possible with no trouble whatsoever. The entire 127 samples of audio data could fit in the wave memory of the Namco 163 Famicom expansion sound chip when ALL ...
