== 8-bit Instruments ==

Using distortion on the 8-bit instruments works differently from all other instruments, due to their consistent nature and simple waveforms. Distortions usually behave similarly between the various 8-bit instruments. As with other instruments, chord progressions tend not to fare well, but monophonic melodies should work. However, by using singular chords (or arbitrary groups of notes that hardly resemble a chord), and transposing them up and down, new synth sounds can be created. Due to the consistency of 8-bit notes, transposing something will cause it to have the same timbre and different pitch. Unique timbres can be created by using parallel intervals with heavy distortion on them.
