Chips

CHIPS is a Chiptune expansion pack sample library with 60 drum kits full of lo-fi kick and snare samples, glitchy hihats and percussion, waveform based lead and bass notes, bleeps and blips, and many other 8-bit drums and sounds. Each kit has both drum samples and melodic sounds, and even a single kit can be used to make chiptune music.

All of the chiptune samples in this sample pack originated from 8-bit sound sources, mostly from popular hardware sound chips and some use of Reaktor for additional sounds and processing.

The chiptune Maschine expansion pack has all kits and samples tagged for use with the Maschine browser. The MPC Expansion pack has all kits and samples organized for the MPC software browser. All kits for all formats use a similar drum and note sample mapping for easily switching among them during production. Single note samples are perfectly looped within the software samplers, as well as with loop markers in the individual wav file headers.

Note: The melodic samples included with this pack are integrated into the kits and are not separate instrument patches. For formats like Battery that do not have a native keyboard mode, the melodic samples need to be remapped for keyboard playing, or alternatively new instruments can be created using the individual melodic samples.
