LoFi Sounds
If you're into the LoFi bleepy-bloopy world of 8 bit, game system and Commodore 64 music you're probably already familiar with the likes of 8 bit bEtty (free album for download), Tobiah and the 8 bit Operators. Using Game Boy cartridges and the C64's SID sound chip many of these acts are producing sophisticated music.
Although these systems have their purists & devotees, composition can be a long and arduous task on these platforms. However, from LoFi Japanese band YMCK comes the free VST/AU plug-in Magical 8 Bit (demo'ed above). Now you easily create, from scratch LoFi music or just as interesting, incorporate some of these retro sounds into your exisiting songs.

this is awesome! I'm going to DL the software and use it with Ableton.
It should be fun to experiment with.
it's a blast - careful, you'll get hooked!
