Today, Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc. is releasing a free demo version of its highly acclaimed chipsounds software synthesizer.
This updated version will finally give any PC or MAC musician the chance to try and enjoy all features of chipsounds.
Hear the sounds for yourself with the improved set of presets now covering an even wider range of classic video games sounds and tones.
- Standard “parameter automation” for monotimbral use. (Multitimbral MIDI CCs still available)
- Modulation settings dont change when you switch the underlying sound chip model.

The demo limitations are :

For current users, this new release will update your version to 1.0.0.3 as well.
We are currently planning our road trip to NYC and we should be there for the Friday and Saturday events.
For the tech nerd attendees, David will also make an exclusive behind the scene presentation on his hardware research entitled : From Classic Sound Chips to Virtual Instruments. This will be on Saturday afternoon.
More details to come.

About Blip Festival 2009:
The three-day music and arts festival returns to Brooklyn’s Bell House December 17th, 18th, and 19th and is presented by Manhattan arts organization The Tank, in partnership with NYC artist collective 8bitpeoples.
Entering its fourth year of celebrating the best and brightest from the realm of chipmusic and its related disciplines, the festival showcases the use of the former heavyweights of computing such as the Commodore 64 and Amiga, the Atari ST and 2600, and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy to create arresting music and visual art.
