Sometimes the triangle wave channel does some pretty funky stuff in this track, like it does some weird layering thing almost

[@vuurniacsquarewave5091]

Not sure if that's a higher than 60Hz- change in the triangle pitch, but that could certainly work in games with a good mapper in the cartridge to generate an interrupt at a fixed interval (which should be related in some way to the note), and then the code triggered in the interrupt can change the pitch of the triangle, essentially giving you a primitive form of FM (frquency modulation)

[@Natah_DN]

@@vuurniacsquarewave5091 Actually, I looked at the .FTM file, and it's just basically a 0xy command.

Corrscope pro tip: use a trigger width of 99 ms to stabilize the triangle wave at low frequencies.
You can keep the render width the same though.

[@jamesdeen8158]

It's not unstable. It's changing frequencies. The scope program begins to think it's simply noise at such low frequencies.

[@katie2940]

I don't know what they were doing with the triangle wave from 1:00 onwards but I'm pretty sure that's illegal

[@AlfiesFuntime]

Its changing note faster then the FPS

[@user-ql2re2es9y]

400Hz NTSC engine speed, then you do an arpeggio to it. So that's called a ring modulation. I can do it in j0CC-FamiTracker.
The 2A03 NTSC has a maximum CPU clock rate that is 1.79MHz.

[@rowboat10]

@@user-ql2re2es9y It's at 60Hz. It's just doing a 0C0 effect

[@quadpad_music]

@@user-ql2re2es9y Uhh yeah, sort of. It'd be ring modulation if you did that but with volume changes, e.g. a 400hz fast tremolo.

[@AlexBamZ]

This is fabulous!

p nice

[@jamesdeen8158]

Can we get Metal Crusher next? I think it would sound best on the Atari PoKEY or TIA. They have good instrument options.

[@acrouzet]

Are you asking for me to arrange a cover? If you are, I'm not taking requests for covers right now. Sorry about that.

[@jamesdeen8158]

@@acrouzet I didn't even know you did arrange covers. No worries though

[@kencover2040]

That triangle wave after 1:06 is just fucking insane i love it so much

[@detective_l2413]

400hz modulated triangle.

[@rowboat10]

@@detective_l2413 It's actually 60hz

That's so cool
