[Chiptune] BITVORTEX - Some Tunes

Hello again! Time for my second EP, this time entirely made on 1 Game Boy.

From the bandcamp description:
‘Some Tunes’ is aiming to be more of a “pure” chiptune EP, made using only 1xLSDJ cartridge and an old brick Game Boy. All effects, track pans, fades and delays (except a small reverb) is handeld by the Game Boy itself.

Due to the limitations of the Game Boy, you are hearing a maximum of 4 sounds/tones/notes at the same time, of which 1 is only modulated noise. No samples (or LSDJ “kits”) where used to create this EP. Also, when it comes to track panning it’s 100% left/center/right.

I recommend listening in headphones or stereo speakers for best experience!


– Extra production information –

LSDJ Version: 6.8.2
