> A cool feature for sure, but, kind of ruins the whole concept of that a chiptune is.

It's called a band, or an orchestra. Or a guitar effect. Or using a brush instead of a stick to play the drums. Or defretting a guitar. Or a happy accident during recording that produces a unique tone.

An instrument has a limitation. Artist can work with, or around the limitation. It may no longer be "chiptune as you know it", but that's essentially how new genres are born - you can't discriminate creativity.
