I meant to write an 80s sounding tune this week but it turned into this somehow.
Two Gameboys, guitar, Juno 60, samples from public domain sci-fi movies from the 60s.
It seemed like setting it to a sci-fi movie clip would be fun, so I did that too.

Gahhh this is so lush. Excellent work, man. That repetitive beeping really ties the arrangement together too, honestly.
This seems like a natural progression for your sound. I hope you find a way to incorporate the synths into your live show. Also, old sci-fi clips ++
Oooooh--great melody and chord progression combination, particularly in the last third. And like others are saying here, this might be as lush as chip music gets. Beautiful stuff!
lushhhh
Hoooooo, this is sweet
Really rich sound, and like the video
Cruiissiiiin' in space
Really like the progression / mood
and it was truly, a space jam
Great tune man!

I'd have to get a new synth to play live. The Juno 60 is big and heavy. Also, I'm not keen on gigging with a 30+ year old analog synth XD
2spooky. Diggin it! I like the repetitive beeping.
Beeping 5ever!
really really unique sound on this one. love the build, and such gorgeous chords. loving the video clip you've paired it with too, reminds me a bit of that starscream video from a while back.
Heard a most beautiful chiptune song. Looked up at the computer and of course it's Roboctopus. Sounds and a arrangement... love it!
Your chippy stuff always has a pop flavour, maybe because of your more acoustic background. I mean it in the best way possible. It feels less loop-based and more musical. Lots of of storytelling and evocative moments.
Simply beautiful

Perhaps the Roland Boutique JU-06 could satisfy those requirements? You could control with a midi keyboard or an arduinoboy.

Just today I was watching videos of the Korg Minilogue and it weirdly seems to be a kindred spirit to the Juno. Similarities in the interface and it seems capable of making similar sounds.

Well, that idea has my full support.
