A chiptune, or chip music, is bop written in sound formats where all the cadence are synthesized in realtime by a digital or video dauntless console right chip, instead of using sample-based synthesis
- The "golden age" of chiptunes was the centermost 1980s to previous 1990s, when such sound chips were the most common method for creating music on computers
- Chiptunes Page are closely related to video game music, which often be featured chiptunes out of necessity
- The head old hat also been recently applied to augmented recent compositions that attempt to recreate the chiptune sound for purely aesthetic reasons, albeit with greater conglomerate technology.

As newer computers stopped using dedicated synthesis chips and began to primarily convenience sample-based synthesis, more realistic timbres could be recreated, but often at the expense of file breadth (as with MODs) and potentially without the personality imbued by the limitations of the older intact chips.
