ChipWave vs Chiptune Sequencer

Make music that sounds like it came straight from a 16-bit game console. ChipWave is a chiptune DAW built around a faithful recreation of the classic 16-bit console sound chip: 8 voices, BRR-compressed samples, ADSR envelopes, hardware-style echo and a noise generator — all running at an authentic 32 kHz. COMPOSE ON A PIANO ROLL • 8 tracks mapped 1:1 to 8 hardware voices • Draw, move and resize notes with your finger • Pinch to zoom, grid snapping from 1/4 to 1/32 notes • Full undo/redo, mute/solo while playing • Up to 256 bars, tempo 20–300 BPM AUTHENTIC SOUND ENGINE • BRR sample decoding with 4-point Gaussian interpolation • ADSR and GAIN envelope modes, per-voice stereo volume • Hardware-style echo: delay, feedback and an 8-tap FIR filter • Shared LFSR noise with 32-step frequency control (NCK) • Pitch modulation driven by the previous voice (PMON) • A strict 64 KB audio RAM budget, just like the real hardware BRING YOUR OWN SOUNDS • Import WAV / AIFF / CAF — converted to chip-native BRR by an adaptive encoder • Import BRR samples directly • Analyze SPC snapshot files you have rights to: extract samples, registers and echo settings, and turn the performance into an editable piano roll • Built-in pulse, triangle, saw and organ waves so you can start right away EXPORT & SHARE • Render your song to 32 kHz stereo WAV • Export individual BRR samples • Save and open projects as portable JSON files MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • Three-pane studio layout on iPad, focused tab layout on iPhone • Touch keyboard for instant sound preview • Works completely offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Please import only audio and music data for which you have the necessary rights. ChipWave does not include any copyrighted game content.

C.H.I.P. is a Chiptune Handheld Instrument Player: sequence and build four channel chiptune, the sound of a 1989 handheld console. Arrange is your song. Sections stack top to bottom and play in order. Drag one to move it, or drag its right edge to loop it. Pattern is where notes go. Four lanes down, time across. Tap a cell, then play a key or a drum pad to fill it. Effects come from a menu you can read, so you pick Arpeggio, major instead of memorising a code. Sound is the synth. Every control has a plain name, a sentence saying what it does, and a button to hear the result. There is a preset library if you would rather start from something that already works. Song is everything else. Tempo, tuning, the mixer, saving, and export. The whole interface is drawn a pixel at a time, in the style of an early nineties desktop. Have it in grey, or behind a green LCD. Every sound is made as you play. Nothing streams, and there is no sample pack hiding in the background. Two pulse channels, a wave channel you can shape, and a noise channel, emulated at the register level so the controls mean what they meant on the original chip. Plug in a MIDI keyboard to play the instrument you are editing, and write notes straight into the grid. Export a mix as a WAV, or the song as a MIDI file to carry into whatever studio you use. There is a compare screen for the curious. Load a recording of real hardware and it lines the two up to the sample, matches their levels, and tells you how far apart they are and where. You can listen to just the difference. Songs and save files read and write in their original layouts, byte for byte, so something you write here can go back to the device it came from. Whether you want a quick lofi beat or a finished song, it is a music maker for sitting down and actually writing. Made for people who like retro sound and do not want a manual to get going.
