Chiptune

Chiptunes are (in the original sense of the word) tracked audio modules (such as .MOD, .XM, .IT and .S3M etc) that emulate a primitive electronic sound, using only – or mostly – very small samples. This type of music started in the late 1980s on the Amiga, by composers like Nuke, Facet & 4-Mat, as a way of imitating chipmusic. “Chipmusic”, on the other hand, refers to music that is actually synthesized by a sound chip (such as SID, 2A03/07, TIA or AY/YM), and dates back to the late 1970s.
