Chiptune Example Project for Ableton Live and Max for Live

Something I cooked up for my Level 2 class today. Tutorial may or may not follow soon, but here’s the low down:

Software/Plugins:

• Ableton Live 8
• YMCK Magic8bitplugin
• Operator
• Redux
• Arpeggiator
• etc.

Max4Live:

• Schwarzenator (auto-chords)
• Pitch Drop (Turntable off sound)

Protip: The redux plugin is (somewhat) set to the specifications of a Nintendo Game Boy to emulate the drum sounds correctly.
