1978年，电影“Saturday Night Fever”（周末狂热）取得了巨大成功，disco音乐也因此风靡全球，但由于其单调古板的节拍，在80年代逐渐过时。与此同时，日本的电子游戏发展迅速，推出的"Invader Game"（一种外星入侵者格斗游戏）家喻户晓，"bit" sound 很快在全世界传播开来。1982年， "Buckner & Garcia"音乐组合演唱了"Pac Man Fever", 这首歌甚至进入了音乐排行榜的前十名。

您是不是也很怀念"Super Mario Brothers"（超级玛莉兄弟）中的背景音乐呢？Discovery公司最新推出了这张 Family Mutliformat音色盘，它收录了大量早期电子游戏中的loops，尽管只是8-bit音乐，但极具特色。该音色盘还带有一个EXS24软件采样器，也支持Halion采样格式，利用他们您可以轻松制作自己的音乐，现在很多艺人对disco音乐重新产生了强烈兴趣，或许8-bit sound能再次成为一种流行趋势。

The sounds of the video game of the past,which thrilled us at arcades and at home,have now returned in an 8-bit anthology.

It's been twenty-five years since the global disco sound boom of the 1978 music scene, represented by the theme song from the huge hit movie "Saturday Night Fever". These disco sounds had the strength of a tsunami tidal wave and attracted many creators and producers. The most interesting aspect, however, is that the sound of every musical piece from this genre kept almost the same BPM tempo, and quickly became obsolete in the 80s. At the same time, Japan was invaded by another boom, "Invader Game", which conquered every coffee shop, and then established a base: the video game arcade. From a sound standpoint, it was the first time for the "bit" sound to enter Japanese ears. At that time, the "bit" sound exploded in popularity throughout the world. "Pac Man" is a representative video game, and its influence was huge. In 1982, a musical unit called "Buckner & Garcia" sent their song "Pac Man Fever", which arranged the "bit" sound fully and effectively, into the Billboard Top Ten.

And this peculiar and simple background sound was soon taken over by friendlier sounds, such as the melody from "Super Mario Brothers", which quickly became popular on home video systems as well. The library introduced here is the collection of sound loops from early video games that devoted Discovery fans had requested. The 8-bit sound (a rectangle wave, a triangular wave, and noise), despite its simple kitschiness, was stored as much as possible. As well, a software sampler of EXS24 and a file for Halion are included, which can be transferred to a keyboard. It is absolutely free to use these applications, and they are ideal for creating your own musical pieces. Many artists now use the disco sounds that used to be dismissed as cheap. So the 8-bit sound may also be brought back as a new trend.
