8 bit sound - possible?
Hi All,
Received my NS4 last week, and this weekend I finally had the chance to sit down and go through in more detail. One program I was trying to find was an "8 bit" style. I came across Chip Bass, but the last note played is the sound that stops all other notes playing.
Does anyone have a program that sounds like the old school NES / Gameboy consoles, or is it possible to turn off the note "cut off' in Chip Bass?

Hi and welcome to NUF,
just set that SyntLayer mode to Poly (i.e. switch off Mono) and there you go.
Note: if you haven't reaad yet your NS4 manual, it is a good time to do it

Re: 8 bit sound - possible?
I'd go farther. If you are new to the world of Nords (as I was once), spending an hour or so going through the examples in the manual is time very well invested. The manual is exceptionally concise and well-written, and it'll show you a lot of powerful functionality that maybe you might not need today, but is good to know about anyway!maxpiano wrote: 28 Sep 2025, 16:29 Hi and welcome to NUF,

I think I have gear issues ....
Re: 8 bit sound - possible?
Nice, thank you; will give that a go this arvo! Yep, I have just started on the manual, there's quite a bit in there. I was hoping that someone had gone through the manual and made a video tutorial series, but a guy can dream!maxpiano wrote: 28 Sep 2025, 16:29 Hi and welcome to NUF,
