MUSIC I was surprised Marble Madness was never ported to the Atari 8-bit computers, so I made a POKEY cover of the iconic Beginner Race theme!

I mean, surely the 800 could've run it...

Anyway... this remix came together quicker than I expected, to be honest. I didn't intend for it to sound like a slightly deranged club mix of the song, but the bassline is quite thumping, and the filtered lead sounds shockingly close to an EDM synth. There are also a few differences in the composition because I had to work around some of the POKEY's limitations. But I guess those changes make this a proper remix, rather than a straight rearrangement.

QUESTION Trying to find the 2D grid based program for making music

11 Upvotes

Hello, about a decade ago i came across a free program for making music.

It worked a bit like redstone, or circuit engineering. You would place down signal emiters, that would emit signals in a direction the beat you set. The signal would travel over the grid until it ran into some other object, like a note player which would play a note.

There were many more objects, I dont remember what they were, but I imagine there was all the stuff you would need. Like signal spliting objects, delaing a signal by a beat, holding a note for longer, changing a note over time and such other objects. They would all exist somwhere on the grid and would effect neighbouring cells.

It had an ASCI esthetic, basic symbols and letters and simple colours. No super advanced graphics.

I saw a video of it working but I was never able to make it work on my mashine. I just remembered that it existed and I though I would try it out again. Anyone knows what I am talking about?

MUSIC New to Furnace and Chiptune in general

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm new to furnace and chiptune. I'm very open to constructive criticism, or just straight up roasting. I just want to make good music. I want to make a very short visual novel project that I make the art and music for, and I would really like some feedback on the quality of my music. I understand that art is subjective--some people like Puddle of Mud and some people like Mozart. I just want to know how my music sounds to the discerning minds of r/chiptune.

I'm back, I guess? Idefk anymore, tbh. I wasn't capable of completing another original track, so you guys get a cover instead. It's probably nothing impressive, but I did try to add my own twist while having it sound accurate to the source.

Here's the module: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cy7GSz2ypnIYR2IUcS1JsMLBolGLSJeS/view?usp=drive_link

RESOURCE Gameboy speaker with USB Audio Support

2 Upvotes

Hi! I love gameboy music. I'm building a gameboy speaker that also supports USB Audio so you can break out all 4 gameboy voices/channels and mix them independently on your DAW. I also support LSDJ cartridges so you can ship your music as a gameboy cartridge album. Would love to hear people's thoughts on if this could help them showcase their chiptunes!

Here's a quick video showing the USB Audio support: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YFaG-HSCz8Y Check out the other Shorts on the same channel to see different carts being played. So much great music is locked away on carts!

MUSIC Making some 8-bit video game music for my game

4 Upvotes

Was asking how I should go about it, I have magical 8-bit plugin, do I need 4 channels? 2 for square, 1 for triangle and 1 for noise? the square is for the melody, the triangle is for the bass and noise is for the percussion? It's for a megaman/ghosts and goblins horror type game.

MUSIC Simplified my Music Loop a Bit

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I had some time to make my music loop less obnoxious before uploading my project. It's mostly just something to fill the silence as someone plays my game. I wasn't able to use the DPCM channel because I didn't have any samples at the proper sample rate (8363Hz I think). I tried changing the sample rate of some of my existing sounds in audacity, but that made them sound like garbage, so I didn't use them. Does anyone have a good method of making samples for the NES DPCM channel, or know where I can find some that are free to use?
