i think it would've been nice if there was a little bit of buzz to the chipped sample, to add some texture.

not a bad idea, I might try mixing some of my waveforms with a tiny bit of noise using milkytracker's ext. paste mix feature though I might have to make the samples a bit longer as I usually have 50 sample length for melodic stuff and 500 length for drums (usually hand-drawn or generated), I find noise gets a little harsh when it is generated in a very small sample region :p
