PLUR
Chippy is a techno rave chiptune love song generator.
Chippy is an audio-visual generation and performance platform — one self-contained HTML file that generates chiptune dance music and its live light show. Open it, press play, it makes music. No install, no account, no files, no network. Everything is synthesized live in the browser.
WTF
Chippy generates fun chiptune loops in the browser — no DAW, no files, no dependencies. V0 plays one embedded hardcoded loop across seven lanes: drums, percussion, bass, lead, synth, accents, fills. Press generate to re-roll the pattern with playback transforms — transpose, swing, and per-voice re-seeding — over the same groove. The synthesis is pure Web Audio: variable-duty pulse waves (via PeriodicWave), a triangle bass, and a real LFSR-style noise channel from a buffer source. Each lane is an independent voice with its own oscillator type and short snappy envelope — the timbre is what makes it chiptune, not the voice count.
