Introducing Cradle's easy-to-use Lo-Fi sound source State Machine BitFlip
Cradle has an image of a gorgeous and expensive GUI, but suddenly a free sound source with a retro GUI has appeared.
At the same time as the release of State Machine BitFlip, three paid audio sources created with the same engine were also released.
State Machine Faded Keys ($59)
State Machine Slow Drift ($59)
State Machine Low End ($59)
It's the same engine, so it's like a trial version of the paid version, but it comes with 40 presets and 20 sound sources.
Since you can create sounds using two sound sources, an arpeggiator, and effects, you have a wide range of sound creation options.
Although it has a retro GUI, it is intuitive and easy to use.

I tried playing the ARP preset.
I played the Key preset and edited it a little.
Overview
From chiptunes and game OSTs to EDM and grime, BitFlip is inspired by a variety of genres that embrace the wonderful world of 8-bit sound.
Whether you're recreating a classic soundtrack or adding a retro feel to your next song, BitFlip has you covered.
BitFlip is the cheat code you've been looking for. Packed with MIDI effects to animate your next musical idea. From arpeggiators to chord generators, there's no shortage of new avenues to explore.
