This is cool stuff 🙂 I added a few synths for chiptune around v2.10 which people might also want to checkout

```ruby
:chipbass (a kind of steppy triangle waveform)
:chiplead (pretty much a straight square/pulse wave)
:chipnoise (1 bit noise as you'd find on old consoles like the NES)

```

Another way to make chip bass drum sounds is to use `:chipbass` and slide the note down very quickly as described in this video [Kick drum synthesis](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/kick-drum-synthesis/269/20)
