- Sorry for the bad side-camera quality, I hope I make it up to you by playing the keyboard with my nose.
The Chip Maestro is an interesting little gadget that lets you play your NES's sound chip like a synthesizer. I can do an in-depth review if anyone is interested because it's got some issues.

I'm struggling to express how awesome this is! Bizarrely, this makes me feel more nostalgic than actually playing and listening to my NES. I think you capture everything that was great about the NES music but present it in a way that make you feel like you're listening to the NES tunes for the first time again but with all the comfort of something warm and familiar.
So nostalgic man. Gives me that sort of comforting feeling of being an innocent child again. Great times
superkennio yes
...Plays three keyboards with two hands simultaneously.
Brilliant, mate. Keep your creativity coming!
Plays three keyboards with two hands AND HIS FREAKING NOSE simultaneously. Fixed it for ya.
@@SuperRavensblood Ha ha ha!
You are a genius! Unfortunately many of the true geniuses in the world died in poverty. But I'd pay to watch you live... No really, I would!
Wow this feels nostalgic somehow, the music you made with this is well composed and just a great listening experience.
This is a really cool composition, and a great performance to boot. Looking forward to more!
Thanks! I've got an arduinoboy, so I might make something similar with a gameboy
Beeble please do!
@@beeble9285 Sega maybe?
That was beautiful... Took me back to my childhood playing the original gameboy
Dude I can't believe you don't have more subs, ur a genius m8
Whoa...this was amazing! 🤯
Great job!!
I didn't expect to see you here!
This must be how Dave feels when he encounters a *#DGR** level*
This is what RUclips is best for, niche, interesting and creative things like this!!
How has this gone unnoticed for so many years? This is insane.
How has this not gone viral yet? What is wrong with humanity?
This definitely deserves millions of views
How do you only have 12.9k subs bro? This is next level.
This is rad! Great composition and sounds. You deserve way higher likes.
Thank you, I'm getting there!
Why does this not have more views. You're a legend.
From Billy Jean to Carol Suey now this a master piece man !
Subscribed and now binge watching your vids.
Hi Brian

Hey
@@briangriffin5701 how's Stewie doin'
@@TJtheDJ163 He's ok.
I'd love to be able to do stuff like this
I loved this song! Thanks for sharing with us.
You're a maestro at making cheap chip sounds sound great.
I also love the nose playing. Sorry, I am commenting this live while watching. Makes my day. Or night in this timezone.
Two keybpards with two hands, one keyboard with your nose. You are Keith Emerson for the modern age.
wow do alot more of these i love it!
I love the way you created the drum samples. Awesome.
Well done, well played. It really reminded me of FTL rather than the NES. I guess that is what they were going for but I didn't realise that till now.
Excellent chill music.
I'm probably gonna loop this so I can listen to it on a sleepless night.
AMAZING!
Music is dope af dude your a genius.
I'd love to hear more about this thing, especially after that performance! that was awesome!!
I just got one, I'd love to understand any "gotchas" / tips on making it work well. Great song. Definitely did a great job making it sound legit in your song.
Hey! It's definitely a neat piece of gear to fiddle around with and it's fairly versatile. It has some annoying limitations, but I don't know if they're a result of the Chip Maestro itself or the NES hardware. I wish the parameters could be controlled by MIDI CC instead of the keys in the lower octave, but one nice thing is that you can control the volume of each individual channel with CC #7 (That's how I created the drums, the snare and hi-hat are noise channel fading out very quickly). However, using a pitch bend on one channel will apply to all channels simultaneously, so that's pretty annoying. A huge and infamous drawback is that certain Cs are out of tune with other Cs an octave higher or lower, and even out of tune with other channels. I'm pretty sure I played this tune in B major to try to avoid Cs as much as possible, though I'd love to know if they fixed this issue with later models because I bought mine 4-5 years ago. Either way, cool cartridge. Thanks for the comment!
I love how this turned out. I would like to hear this in my sound system.
I'm a huge fan of NES music (my vids prove that). This video of yours was awesome! Very catchy original tune i'd never heard before, but the fact that it was used with only NES sounds made it feel immediately familiar to me and almost nostalgic on the first listen. EXCELLENT!
I absolutely love this. It sounds very much like Ben Prunty's soundtrack for the game FTL: Faster Than Light
Ah reminds me the old times...
I’ve never seen anyone with so many musical talents as yourself. HOW are you not viral with 1mil+ subscribers?! Answer me that - I’ll wait.
Probably because I put out 2 videos a year lolol. But thank you, that means a lot!
According to the Real World talent isn't required anymore. 😢
This is incredible.
Sensational
This is amazing!
8-bit pimpin’ on the keys.
Well done. That was awesome. Also nice way to end it, love that tune.
a game should have been made just for this song
This is incredible
Most people would struggle to program this in a tracker - nevermind play it live!
Thank you sir!
You underestimate what some people can do with trackers
This is really cool
I could see the first 1:47 being the starting cutscene when you boot the console, and then it segues into the title screen at 1:48
Wow! Just wow
I like this a lot!
This is awesome. 👍👍👍
Awesome track.
Great tune dude! Im glad I stumbled upon this!
I thought that was beautiful.
Excelente trabajo 😀😀😀
I lovevit!!!
Genius!
Amazing
That's awesome, deserves more likes
Loved it! keep going you are really talented!
Have you ever tried the Famimimidi synthesizer cart? I don't think I ever saw a head-to-head comparison between that and the Chip Maestro. I've been looking into re-purposing my old NES & SNES consoles for something other than actual gaming
is there any other cartridge with the same capabilities? you are amazing at playing btw! also very very good quality on your mic and talking! :D
New sub,I love your channel!
It was super long and interesting! What are you talking about
Is this an Original Composition? Nice!
Wow Dude !!! 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾
500.00 for the rights to this song...no joke. Want to use this in my product videos.
I would like you to review the FAMIMIMIMIDI of NES.
You should do the next Shovel Knight/the Messenger type game.
I love this man! Great track and very creative way to record. I didn't know this was a thing but now I need to find a NES xD
Scott Pilgrim vibes lol
What instrument doesn't this man play? Super cool song also!
Epic!
Can someone explain why the white noise/drum channel on the NES sounds so good?
whaaaa... ok then i hear you
Could it possibly be the NES? They're notoriously fickle.
I assume this device only allows you to use the programmable sound generator function of the console and doesn't let you load up your own samples, right? It'd be amusing if someone made a chip maestro keytar that played the sunsoft bassline.
Yeah, it gives you control over the pulse, triangle, and noise channels but not the PCM channel. I think one of the other similar products work with samples though, maybe MIDINes?
How do you route the audio out of the new. Lovely composition and a great way to get use out of a console I no longer use
I'm two months late, hope that's ok. I used the red RCA audio output jack on the side of the NES to capture the audio, made it super easy. (You can see the cable in the overhead shot) My signal flow was:FL Studio MIDI Output>USB MIDI Adapter>Chip Maestro MIDI Input>NES RCA Audio Output>USB Audio Interface Input>FL Studio Audio Input
CODEX like this
I cant even play one keyboard...
*LIKE*
Can you upload this music to your public cloud?
Holy! Fucking! Shit!
I don't know, man, but I'd say that one day you're going to blow the fuck up. It doesn't make sense that you don't already have more views. You should set up a Patreon account and see what happens. I would give you money just to see what you would do with it.
Thank you for being so Goddamn awesome.
Make a review!
Do you have this in a soundkit?
I can’t even play piano on my piano
Why Coldplay?
Right at the end: nono, forget hardware reviews. This is about you doing cool sh*t, not about some hardware you do it with.
Wow loved this!! I would pay for you to help produce a song for us! Tiktok 660k
Remember me when you’re rich ;) ... I will be surprised if you sub count doesn’t skyrocket
I'll always remember you
Get paid bro
I think you are missing the point..... playing the chip directly is the whole point.... same reason why a cs80 plug in is not a real life cs80.... Jesus did i just compare the cs80 to a Nintendo.....nevermind
And that's exactly why I bought it, and what I did in the video (besides drums). it's definitely a neat toy to tinker with. Maybe I was a little harsh about it at the end of the video, but I tried multiple midi configurations and still had some issues with notes getting stuck on or everything sounding glitchy. I've used MGB for the gameboy and it's a lot more reliable with midi, but the Chip Maestro has a few extra features that MGB lacks, win some lose some I suppose.
I wanna play this game...
This is incredible.
Amazing
