Hello, me again. As you might know, I'm a musician, and I usually compose pop songs, anime-ish piano pieces or, better and more often, deep and tropical house songs. Now, another genre I'm trying to move in is chiptune, but I sincerely don't know how to obtain the BIT.TRIP or the VVVVVV soundfont.
Using a pro version of FL Studio 12, how can I have the same soundfont as most of the chiptune composers have? (Referring to Crazyal too)
Thanks, anticivately

I don't know if it's just me, but it makes uncomfortable that everyone assumes all games have a soundfont. VVVVVVV's was really made using old fashioned
Square
Triangle
Sine
Pulse
Sawtooth
waves and also using white noise. If you have trouble making these sounds, try experimenting with them in Chiptone, which has sounds I haven't even mentioned.

Yeah, chiptune sounds are usually synthesized, and it's all essentially the same waveforms. Not sure how FL Studio manages soundfonts, but there are lots of VSTs that can do it.

BIT.TRIP is trickier since many of its sounds are more complex...

Thank you very much, Shiny and Crazyal - but I think I put the question badly. I know chiptune uses simple waves (that I can easily make by setting a single voice on the 3x OSC plugin, wherein all the synths Shiny said are automatically generated), but what I can't do is actually the slight lo-fi effect that is in every song. For example, taking the pulse wave - how can I smoothe it a bit? Are there some particular techniques or even a plugin that does it all by itself?

Otherwise, are there some free or open-source websites for chiptune drums?
Thanks for helping, again.

This site is very versatile
Before composing anything I recommend turning on "Show Piano" and "Show Octave Scroll Bar" under Preferences. In the Edit menu, I also recommend increasing "Custom song size."

Ugh, I haven't done anything chiptune-ish yet, but you can find my stuff on musescore.com/q-be_music.

Okay, I found the way. (And, I want to share for anyone having this "problem".)
Just put a lower quality in resampling, and cutoff will automatically become slightly lower.
