Just experimenting with this type of synthesis for the first time. Inspired by the paper -Modal Synthesis for Vibrating Objects-∗ Kees van den Doel and Dinesh K. Pai
It's probably not the best modal patch ever, but it can make both drum-like sounds and glass-type continuous sounds, and has some usable parameters including randomizing the modal frequencies and the excitation "density", so you can continuously move between a constant bowed-like sound to one that has individually audible hits.

You have to launch missiles off your home planet and hit the enemy planet. Its pretty basic for now just showing gravity simulations and prediction. It makes some pretty shapes for the trajectories.")

http://soundcloud.com/madcoil/pack-your-things-fluffkin-were
A tutorial describing an approach to some chiptune techniques, including SID-style PWM modulation and arpeggios. Note, making chiptunes involves a LOT more than these techniques. Perhaps they will be covered in another video. This video focuses on lead sounds and arpeggios.")
