Pulse, Stepped Triangle, Saw and Shift-Register Noise.

Pixel is a chiptune synthesizer made the way the old sound chips worked: naive pulse waves with fixed duty cycles, a four-bit stepped triangle, a sawtooth and a 15-bit shift register for noise, clocked by the note you play. Aliasing is part of the sound and stays in on purpose.

Three oscillators per voice, a two-pole filter, one ADSR, one LFO, glide, a bitcrusher and a tempo-synced arpeggiator. Sixteen voices, pitch bend, mod wheel and sustain pedal, and a CRT that draws the output waveform in phosphor green.

32 presets in nine families: Arcade, Space, 8 Bits, Alien, Chip Lead, Beep Bass, Retro Keys, Lo-Fi, plus Init and your own.

How does Pixel work exactly?

Every control, then the three steps.

Pixel interface
  • OSCILLATORS – Three tabs: waveform, octave, fine, pulse width and level.
  • FILTER – Low, high or band pass, 40 Hz to 18 kHz, with resonance.
  • ENVELOPE – Attack, decay, sustain, release.
  • LFO – Sine or triangle to pitch, pulse width or cutoff.
  • BITCRUSH – Bit depth down to 3 bits, sample rate down to 1/32.
  • GLIDE – Portamento up to 2 s.
  1. Load Pixel on an instrument track and pick a family from the list on the right.
  2. Set the three oscillators: a few cents of FINE on osc 2 gives the chip chorus.
  3. Open the menu for the arpeggiator, from 1/4 to 1/32 and triplets, up to three octaves.

Frequently asked questions

Any other question? Write to info@tunedrip.com.

Are the pulse widths authentic?

Yes. PWM runs from 5 to 50 %, and the menu snaps it to the classic 12.5, 25 and 50 %.

Does the noise track the keyboard?

Yes. The shift register is clocked by the note, so higher notes give brighter noise.

Which formats and systems?

Mac: VST3 and AU on macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows: VST3 on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). AAX for Pro Tools is not available yet.

How does the licence work?

A licence key is emailed right after purchase. Paste it in the plugin (or in the free TuneDrip Hub for macOS and Windows, which on Windows also installs the plugin) and click Activate: one internet connection, then the plugin works offline. Each key activates up to 3 computers; write to info@tunedrip.com to reset them.

ncredibly polished sound quality—almost hard to believe

ncredibly polished sound quality—almost hard to believe. I was exhausted from trying to design these sounds myself, so I finally decided to buy the pack. I’ve finally found exactly the sounds I was looking for. Absolutely worth it!
