The technique of chiptunes with samples synthesized at runtime continued to be celebrated even on machines with full sample playback capability; because the description of an thingamabob takes much less space than a raw sample, these formats created exact dwarf files, and because the parameters of synthesis could be varied over the course of a composition, they could contain deeper musical expression than a purely sample-based format
- Also, even with purely sample-based formats, such as the MOD format, chip sounds artificial by looping right inadequate samples still could take up much less space.
The chiptune scene was recently the subject of a documentary Voice Chip called Blip Festival: Reformat the Planet by 2 Player Productions. This film was an official druthers at the 2008 South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. The Premier took accommodation on March 8 2008 at the Dobie Theater.
