Ok so here it is...
The fruit of my labour...
The apple of my eye...
The Fizz n my Chips!

Presenting an all new set of (cheap) samples in a downloadable package...

||| Fizz~n~Chips||| - Food for your Sampler...

A set of over 300 wav files designed with the past in mind. This is a Retro Soundset for the modern age. All the blips~n~bloops, schwings~n~schwongs, plops~n~fizzes you could ever need!

Made with SidStation, GameBoy, NES, MegaDrive & Speak n Spell, this sample set is 100% OldSkool! Perfect to add that Retro taste to your tracks & a lifesaver for the game maker or sound designer!

Check out the demo and listen to my silly tunemaking at...

http://www.fizznchips.com

(more demos to come - thanks vurt!)

The set will retail for 15Euro, BUT for the first month I would like to offer it at an introduction price of... only 10Euro!

Additionally, I would like to run a competition for KvR members where, the best three - 2min tunes made with with the demo files provided, will win a full set for free! (you gotta let me post the tunes on the site tho!)

Competition will run for two weeks from today

Its cheap enough to be an impulse buy!

Go on - You know you want it!!!

woo !
great work Dave.
i wanted to collect ( for my use ) old consoles sounds ( from MAME and other EMUs ) but it was too much work. i'm really glad that someone did it after all and share it at this price

my zoom sampler will be happy.

for the comp, are we allowed to apply effects and other forms of audio manipulation to the samples?

Oops - Re: Compo...

I guess I should have thought that out a bit better... been so busy getting this ready - I thought I had all the bases covered!!!

Of course you may use any FX or additional synths you like. Please just post a list of what you used so folks can hear / or make out what is the sample content and what is your own instrumentation...

Obviously I would prefer as much ||| Fizz~n~Chips ||| in there as possible!!!
Oh and please post your entry here so we can all listen!!!

Thanks Tommo for pointing this out to me!!!

Ugo - we were prolly posting at the same time

ok, here's my track. hardly a toe-tapper, unlikly to win any contest, and probably even more unlikly to win you any new customers...but i had fun making it.

where is heaven?
im not sure what genre this falls into, but my guess would be a dirge.

everything up to 0:48 is from fizz n chips. the samples are played with liveslice and kontakt 2, and are processed through metallurgy and kontakt 2's effects. at 0:48, i bring in a psudo theremin sound from string theory and several vocal effects/samples from altered states.

i havent been able to write a damn thing lately, so it was great to be inspired by these samples.

Ugo -

Have you heard the rushed demos I did on the site???

I didnt realise that asking folks to do tunes with these sounds would result in tracks in the videogame style I love so much - obvious really now I actually think of it!!!

I dunno dude - I really like this... its creepy in a way that your scared and excited at holloween when your a kid - no???

Thanks for doing this Ugo - String Theory really sounds great with these sounds!!!

im glad you dig it. yeah, definitely the halloween vibe. i guess there's still some goth left in me yet.

Thanks for doing this Ugo

my pleasure. thanks for the inspiration!

String Theory really sounds great with these sounds!!!

you know, i had totally forgotten about that preset until a night or two ago too. im glad i rediscovered it because, i agree, it really does fit the vibe quite well.

Uhhh yeah you can say that again. Paypal makes this a little too easy, I don't even have to take out my card.

Good stuff man. I like supporting KVR members here but it's also the stuff i'm constantly looking for. I would compete for the prize, but I know i'd get wooped by all you folks - nice track Ugo, that's what I'm talking about. Which patch in String Theory is that btw?

You should release a set of SNES samples next... hehehe...

*nodnodnod*

Old school RPG music.

Too bad I can't buy these. Saving up for an Edirol.

Edit: Damn, Ugo. This song is hot.

That'd probably be more doable, anyway. SNES sounds were all mostly ROMpler sounds from Roland Sound Canvas modules. I don't see how that'd be legal, hehe.
