The designers claim that it's the most accurate emulator yet, letting artists make authentic old-school tunes with the latest music-making software. "Chip music sounds like nothing else," said David Viens, who co-founded the Canadian developer in 2000. "It boasts a totally separate sonic spectrum than the other forms of electronic music. It brings back fond memories." Mimicking vintage hardware like the AY-3-8910 (arcade games), POKEY (Atari 400/800) and the legendary MOS Technology SID (Commodore 64), Chipsounds plugs into apps such as Logic Pro and GarageBand. According to the blurb, musicians can even use the same "abusive" technical tricks that gave the original machines a creative lifespan far beyond their commercial shelf lives..
