Nanoloop
Sometime ago I bought Nanoloop, a synthesizer / sequencer for the Nintendo Game Boy systems. I still haven't got the time to really understand and create music with it, but it certainly is a one of a kind musical instrument. When I started with computers (Amiga forever!) I always loved the modules (ProTracker anyone?) and chiptunes with their rough 8-bit sounds. When I finally get the time to play with Nanoloop I can finally create these rough sounds on the road using nothing more but a mere old-school gameboy.
In the meantime I'll be using these sites to enjoy some rough 8-bit sounds hope you like them as well..
- http://www.chiptunes.org/ (tons of chiptunes, but you need something that can play MODS)
- http://www.micromusic.org/ (tons of old and contemporary 'micro' music)
- http://www.goto80.com/ (uses CC licenses and allows remixing!)
- http://www.8bitpeoples.com/ (uses CC licenses but sadly No Deratives)

I simulated those sounds some time ago in Reason. It's available on ccMixter.
Victor used some sounds in his cool track All I Dream.
Downloading right now :)
Btw after I had written this post I started with Nanoloop (again) and it rocks! I'm currently working on a track and I plan on working on som more tracks during my daily commute to Amsterdam.
