  • Originally I had only transcribed this with the 2A03, but while I was uploading it, I thought I could have used an expansion chip to improve the sound... So I canceled the upload and started work on the MMC5 part.
    Credit to Tim (and Geoff?) Follin for making one of the best NES soundtracks of all time.

    Does anyone else see that egg? On top of the old man doing a jig?

    strangely this simple 8 bit sound feels more lively than various metal covers on it

      What if it was adjusted to match the tempo of the PAL release? Tim Follin was known for composing primarily for the slower sounding PAL NES.

      FX patterns are used for effects like arpeggio, duty cycles, pitch bending, delay, etc.
      you can't pan the channels with them
      fx2, fx3 are used for using 3 effects at the same time.

      Just a quick question, can I use a MiDi keyboard on Famitracker? I can't really go anywhere with music unless I can see where I've placed my notes. Even then I'm just but a mere amateur. Can barely think of an original tune unless it's a boss, haunted, or main theme. It's... something for now.
