01Overview

Chipwave is a preset expansion for the BA-1 synth from Baby Audio. It contains 64 presets designed to load directly into BA-1, so no additional instrument is needed. The sounds lean toward bright, colorful timbres with a retro arcade character, suited to producers who want video-game-inspired leads, bass and texture without building patches from scratch. The pack was created with input from chiptune artist Button Masher, a Grammy-winning arranger known for combining jazz fusion with chiptune.

Chiptune Sounds for BA-1

Chipwave expands BA-1 with 64 presets focused on a bright, arcade-inspired palette. Baby Audio describes the pack as a set of sounds for imagined retro games, and the presets are built to bring that character into modern productions.

The pack is developed in collaboration with Button Masher, a Grammy-winning musician who is the first chiptune artist to win a Grammy. Baby Audio says he shared his approach with BA-1 users through this collection.

Who Chipwave Is For

Chipwave suits producers working in electronic, chiptune and game-inspired music who already own BA-1. Because the presets are loaded into BA-1 rather than running as a standalone instrument, the pack adds sound variety to an existing synth rather than requiring a new purchase of a separate engine.

Use it as a starting point for leads, plucks and bright textures, then edit the sounds in BA-1 to fit your track.
