Native Instruments Byte Riot v2.0.0Hack into the retro world of 8-bit sounds from old-school video game consoles, early-gen computers, and modified vintage hardware.

MODIFIED 8-BIT MADNESS
•Captures the spirit of the chiptune and 8-bit scenes for any music style
•40 MASCHINE and 43 BATTERY Kits with circuit-bent sounds, distorted leads, and noises from modified video game consoles and classic computers
•Packed with complex MIDI patterns based on classic arcade games

RETRO REFORMATTED
For years, gaming consoles and obsolete computers sat gathering dust, long forgotten and considered useless – until the day 8-bit musicians hacked their hardware and transformed 80s nostalgia into instruments. Vintage audio chips became makeshift synths. Repurposed, modified video game gear was pushed to make bleeps, blips, and distorted sounds. And a retro DIY counterculture of music makers was born – its influence seen in genres spanning from pop to hip hop, breakcore, and grime.

BYTE RIOT was created in collaboration with Ivo Ivanov and Alex Retsis.

SONIC BIT SHIFTING
BYTE RIOT surges with crunchy circuit-bent drum kits, warm 8-bit leads, and retro video game samples. To capture drums and percussion, Game Boys were hacked using LSDJ and Nanoloop tracking software on custom cartridges. Old-school oscillators were tinkered with to create new sounds. Fast arpeggiators were driven through Commodore 64 SID chips to sample chord variations. And Windows instruments were played through the Sega Mega Drive’s FM YM2612 chip for primitive authenticity
