SJS Classics - Firewire Exchange (2023-2024 Edit)
If I have one song that served as a catalyst for me to start appreciating my old originals again, it would be this one. Named after the IEEE 1394 serial bus interface, this song was originally created in DefleMask back in May 2018 after I discovered a way of using the Ext. FM3 mode on the YM2612 (to create two 2-OP patches in one channel). I believe it was my very first time using the channel in such a way. In September 2023, I decided to open the module in Furnace, and for funsies, added much more stereo panning to it. While listening back to this song, something made me appreciate it much more than I did roughly 4 to 5 years prior (this was around 5 months before I posted my "disowned collection" of songs on my second channel). I did edit one of the patches so that it was on par with another patch. Eventually, by the time I posted my "disowned collection" on February 2024, I began to really appreciate my old original songs, such so that I decided to continue with the minor edits to them rather than change parts of their compositions (like I did in 2019 to mid-2020) or completely transform them entirely (like I did in late-2020 to 2023). This allowed me to end my project of revisiting my old chiptune originals, and it was in no doubt because of adding more stereo and changing some the patches to this tune back in September 2023. Now, a full year later, I share this song to all of you. In November 2024, I did decide to make some changes to some of the 2-OP patches in particular to make them sound a bit more interesting.

SJS Classics - Jetstar Circuit (2024 Edit)
Переглядів 7112 годин тому
Song number 7 from my 2019 album The Final Bits. Just because I'm not a huge fan of rock music doesn't mean I underappreciate it entirely. This was a one-off thing I did back towards the start of 2019 to see if I could make a song in the vein of rock music. It sounded decently well, but I decided to see if I could improve the guitars by referencing those used by FM Wizard Savaged Regime (lazyge...
SJS Classics - Winston Welsh's Cloudy Maze (2024 Edit)
Переглядів 65День тому
In 2018, I created an OC named Wavetable Wolf. As his name suggests, he's a wolf (specifically a white-furred arctic wolf). I originally drew him with a sleeveless hoodie and jeans. I had created this song based around him and his logic-thinking skills. After I adopted my current username in 2019, I changed his name to Winston Welsh. In 2024, I decided to update his attire to a sleeveless shirt...

Second of three "Roadway CPU" tunes I made in 2018. It's also the shortest of the three. Like with the 2024 edition of Highway 6502, I adjusted the stereo panning in many areas to be easier on the ears, and the noise hi-hats adjusted for having access to its full frequency range. I also thought it would make sense to increase the song's tempo a bit and tune it a bit higher. The pitch of the kic...

This is the original version of Strategic Achievement, originally made in July 2018 under the name of "Opnistle," with some changes to the patches and larger use of stereo panning. I am much more appreciative of this version these days. Additional changes to this version include tuning the song 15Hz higher and replacing the drum samples. The Casio VL-1 beat on the PSG was also removed as I feel...

Yesterday, after coming home from work, I decided to transcribe this cover I did in Furnace back in 2022 to DenominatorNth-FamiTracker, mainly to make an NSF out of it. I did make some minor adjustments, since my cover of this song in Furnace did use a high refresh rate to get the correct tempo (which affects the volume macros in two of the instruments). I also made the vibrato a bit stronger t...

One of three "Roadway CPU" tunes I made in 2018. This uses drum samples I took directly from one of the songs in the Amiga version of Fury of the Furries. I basically swapped around the channels to reflect my current channel setup (drum and bass in the earliest channels, lead next, then chords or backing instruments, and finally echoes). I also redid the stereo panning in few places so that it'...

I had originally made this song to celebrate my 21st birthday in 2018, hence the "21" in the title. I don't remember why the word "marbles" is in the title, though. This song uses waves found in the Pokémon GB and GBC games. This 2024 edition of this song features the following changes: the percussion volume was lowered just a bit, the kick was altered, the song is tuned lower, and the tempo is...

I had a phase in my chiptune journey where I gave my songs some rather absurd names (pretty much like a PG version of what flde does when naming his songs these days). I think this was one of three songs I did in 2018 where I wanted to take the letters of the name of an FM chip, and then combine it with a random word. In this case, OPM Meridian=Opmeridian. This 2024 edition of the song features...

I did decide to only make volume optimizations to these old original songs and (if I feel like it) tuning them higher/lower as well as decreasing/incre...

So, what I have here is a small catalog of songs that, at some point in the time I've been making chiptunes, I wanted to forget that I ever made, hence why I call this "The 'Disowned' Collection."

      For now, I believe one would have to write some sort of Furnace module replayer or driver that can be played on an actual GBA, DS, or 3DS. Right now, we have MinMod (a GBA driver by Natt Akuma). I believe tildearrow (creator of Furnace) might have plans for that in the near future.

    Seriously out of all these songs The Beginning of the Journey is probably my favourite, I'm genuinely upset that anyone gave you bad criticism about it or its making story, because that was a very good song! My only complaint really is that it is too short, I keep replaying it for the last couple minutes, it inspires me to attempt covering it, it has a really catchy bassline!

      Yeah, I have indeed come back to like the song after three and a half years, though it is a remake of a Famicom tune I did back in 2017 (which is what got it disqualified in the Chiptune Café 8-Bit Jam). I do have the 0CC-FamiTracker module of the original version I could probably send you. It is in a different key (I transposed the song up a few scales in the PC Engine version as I felt like the bass was either too low or too high when I was remaking it). I also agree that it is quite short compared to the original songs I make nowadays.
