![]() ![]() The distinctive 9-bit sound that I achieve is largely in part to the 3xOsc presets that I utilize throughout my music. Plus, of course, most of the music I write myself!įL Studio Resources (3xOsc presets, waveforms, samples) Some other good examples of 9-bit music are Big Giant Circles' The Glory Days and Impostor Nostalgia, the Dustfall OST, 9-bit Records releases, and the FEZ OST. At the same time, a lot of my instruments and sound effects are rooted in simple waveforms like pulse waves and triangle waves, so the chiptune flavor still carries through. My own flavor of 9-bit tends to incorporate modern drum sounds along with a lot of echo and reverb effects to form a much more lush soundscape than you would find in traditional chiptune music. Like any broad musical categorization, there's quite a lot of diversity within 9-bit music-some may choose to overlay dry chiptune sounds with vocals or piano accompaniments, while others will take a more liberal approach and only vaguely resemble chiptune music in their choice of instruments and usage of arpeggios. 9-bit music does away with the restrictions of normal chiptune music and uses chiptune sounds merely as a starting point, so you'll hear things like pulse wave leads on top of modern electronic drums, or rapid pulse-wave arpeggio chords put through filters and echo effects. Contrast this to normal chiptune music or "8-bit" music, which is written using only sounds created by sound chips of old video game consoles, and "fakebit", which is written using modern software and synthesizers but designed to closely emulate the sound and limitations of those chips. To me, 9-bit music is music that mixes together chiptune sounds with more modern, non-chiptune elements. So what exactly is "9-bit" music anyways? The term was first coined by halc-it's not in widespread usage, but I've adopted it as a succinct way to describe my music for lack of a better term.
