<p>I once owned a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey²">Magnavox Odyssey 2</a> (Wikipedia link) videogame system. I also spent a good amount of time at two Arcades. Galaxy and Mr. Arcade were their names and sadly they are both gone. I remember there was this gum filled grape candy I used to love. It was like a square Blow Pop without the stick. So no wonder when anything 8Bit retro pops up on my computer screen I stop for a minute and think to myself, &#8220;Yeah this is cool somehow&#8221;. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/8bitone-micro-composer/id318114649?mt=8">8Bitone</a> (iTunes link) looks very solid and <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vocoder-synthesizer-sv-5/id307256348?mt=8">Vocoder Synthesizer SV-5</a> (iTunes link) look useful beyond retroness. I really like making music and every now throwing in the iPhone&#8217;s audio.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This tune is &#8216;Behind The Mask&#8217; by Yellow Magic Orchestra. So I performed on 8Bitone and Vocoder SV-5 that is iPhone/iPod touch musical apps by Yudo. 8Bitone is retro 8-bit sound monophonic Synthesizer and 4 track Sequencer. SV-5 is authentic Vocoder and polyphonic Synthesizer like a Roland VP-330.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/humanmaestro">humanmaestro</a></p></blockquote>
<p>8Bitone and Vocoder Synthesizer SV-5 are .99. Insert Coin!</p>
