Chip-Wave
What if you could enjoy fresh, crispy potato-chips... from the microwave? No, it's not THAT chip-wave (seriously, Google it though, it's hilarious).
So what is "chip-wave"? Chip-wave is what you get when doing a whole contest on either chip-tune or synthwave would probably be too narrow and limiting, so do you one contest that includes both. Or, if you are not a big synthesizer person, anything that captures that 1980s computer/videogame music vibe, broadly speaking, regardless of instrumentation or production
So break out those squarewaves and/or your huge synth pads. Latch your arpeggiator or arpeggiate some guitar chords. Unleash your inner SID chip. It's time to get the high score on the contest this month!
Only one entry per person this month, but there's no time limit. Just chiptune responsibly.
____________________________________
Submissions MUST follow these rules:
1 - Encoded in either .mp3 or .ogg format.
2 - No minute time limit this month!
3 - Entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK (note: THIS MEANS A DOWNLOAD LINK) in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only! They are not a hosting service. When contacting these people, please take the effort to understand the terms and conditions they provide.
Providers:
2 - watto
3 - slartibartfast
In addition...
http://www.kara-moon.com/forum has offered "self service" space. Log into the forum to find out more.
4 - Submitted by early a.m. (US Central Time) Friday, June 28 .
5 - Your entry(s) must be composed specifically for this contest (or, if a cover, arranged/recorded specifically for this contest).
6 - Your entry(s) must be created with audio plugins or software studio.
7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1906_Chipman_JumpOnThis.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.
8 - If you are going to tag your mp3--and you should--the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune.
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.
10 - Every submission has to be tagged with:
a) used instruments (virtual and 'real')
b) players' and singers' names (if other than entrant; collabs are allowed, sometimes encouraged, but they must be credited)
c) origin of loops and samples, if they're not free of copyright (this includes CreativeCommons material; please read and follow the license of the samples and loops you use); naming the origin of copyright free loops is also encouraged, but not mandatory. Please only use samples you are legally entitled to use.
d) name(s) of composer(s) -- if an entry is a cover this should be noted in the file name and/or the mp3 "Title" tag as well as the submission post (not everyone reads the submission posts).
11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.
12 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. Please PM me for permission.
13 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
14 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until early a.m, July 1st. Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.
If you have questions, send a private message to drapostrophex (that's me, Victor!) or ask in the gossip thread. There's a good chance I'll answer eventually!

Well, I'll be honest... I took an existing piece of mine and totally rearranged it with chipwave sounds. So I guess I covered myself. Hope that is OK.
The title of the original was The Ivory Tower. So this one is called:
Crushing the Ivory Tower
Made with Basic 65

I'm early-ish this month for a change.
Particle Wave
This is certainly more Synthwave than Chiptune, but I included a little bit crushing for good measure.
Only instrument used was the Moog One, apart from the drums which are 808 samples.
All Fx are various from Ableton Live and Valhalla Delay.

Just because it's insane doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

Hey, I know submissions are closed, but I think some people will find this interesting: I wrote a song some time ago for a Chiptune workshop, using just Audiothing Minibit, drums included.

If anyone has questions about the plugin or the sound, feel free to ask.

Results thread should be up early tomorrow (July 2), so there's still time to vote, if you've been on the fence.
