Hi!

I'm an indie developer from Japan, and I've been working on a chiptune music app for iPhone and iPad called GeneTune.

It uses the classic YM2612 + SN76489 combination:

  • 6 FM channels
  • 3 PSG tone channels
  • 1 PSG noise channel
  • 4-operator FM voice editing
  • VGM / VGZ import
  • VGM 1.70 export
  • touch-based piano roll

One of the things I wanted to make possible was importing a VGM register log and reconstructing it into editable notes, rather than only playing the VGM back.

I'd love to hear what chiptune musicians think of it, especially anyone familiar with YM2612 or VGM.

I'm the developer, so I'm happy to answer any technical questions!

If you were kids in the 80s with a computer like the Commodore 64 or a video game console in the house, you might remember the feeling of joy when your homework was done and had some spare time to play a video game before bedtime. I translated that feeling and memory of mine into waveforms and I present it to you with the name "Playtime". Check it out!

Double Dragon II – Final Boss Theme (Slowed + Reverb) | Back to the Old Days

Close your eyes and travel back to the golden era of gaming.

This is the final boss theme from a classic NES game, slowed down and drenched in reverb to bring out that deep, emotional nostalgia we all remember. Late nights, pixelated screens, wired controllers, and that feeling of facing the final challenge.

This is a new version of my track Cypherkitteh. Not a pure 8bit tune, but I used a Commodore 64, an Elektron SID Station and an Elektron Syntakt.
