CHOMPI discontinued, lives on as open-source sampler
Original: CHOMPI is discontinued but lives on as an open-source sampler
CHOMPI, the compact hobbyist sampler beloved by lo-fi and chiptune producers, has been discontinued as a commercial product. Its creators are releasing it as an open-source project, allowing users to keep using, modify and build on the instrument. The move means the community can preserve and extend the sampler rather than see it disappear entirely.
Why now: The discontinuation combined with an open-source release gives fans both news of a loss and reassurance the tool will survive.
