Plogue Chipsounds is released.

I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

Plogue Chipsounds is a VSTi/AU plugin that emulates several different old systems (including NES/GB/C64/Atari 2600). It's been a couple of years in the making and they seem to have gone to great lengths to make it as accurate as possible.

I've just bought my copy and will be giving it a test soon.

I've been quite excited about this for some time but it raises interesting discussion I think:

- what does this mean for purists who think you should only use the original hardware?

- does it mark the death of the "chip sound", making it available to the masses with none of the limitations/work-arounds we are so fond of working with?

Hey, looking for someone who dared to do live gigs with buzz? Here I am ;)

If this digression is still of any interest to anyone, I used to do my _experimental/idm_ (and I stress that!) live-acts with buzz (under 'kalma' alias), it was quite fun. Of course did it only on 100% tested files, some years ago on OLD buzz exec, it worked quite ok. Surely, most problematic were switching between bmx'es (that what the other laptop with some pad sounds is usually for, you know ;D).

I experienced one spectacular crash, which caused the buzz to freeze playing one 2s loop - fortunatelly, since this was an idm live-act, the audience didn't notice, heheh.

Ancient times. Nowadays stability is key, so I use the mighty Ableton Live for all my club acts :) Works like a charm. Yet new buzz is still my main tool for composing/producing.

i played live using buzz a number of times before switching to using the c64 instead. it wasn't exactly fun due to the known random crashes wich consist of mainly white noise that's being thrown right at the audience.
i stopped using buzz altogether now, as renoise seems to be the best thing on pc for me. =)
