I've been thinking about this for a while. The rules for this contest would be:

- Only one channel playing at a time
- VRC6 and MMC5 are fine since you don't get any extra channel advantage (But try to keep with 2A03 if you can)
- FDS may be allowed if used in a creative way
- VRC7 might be allowed if used in a [u]very[/u] creative way (Also, make sure it doesn't "bleed" into the next note)

Entries should be graded on technical creativity and general sound of the song.

I'd need a bit of help for when I should end the contest though, I also might wait to see how long it takes to get entries in.

Do these rules seem alright?

EDIT: Updated with everyones entries so far. Tell me if you want to change or take down your entry.

If I have the time, I might take on this challenge. Is there any sort of a prize?

There was similar compo on BotB recently, with [url=http://battleofthebits.org/arena/OHC/693/]triangle channel only.

Honestly, songs in this thread aren't sounds like songs, they sounds like a channel with other channels missing.

Yeah; I can just picture a poorly-made cover of the NES version of Tekken 2.

Here is very simple and rough example that you could do with one channel. I've made it right now, in like 10 minutes, to show what you could aim to with one channel.

You'll probably hate me for actually covering Tekken 2 in the crappiest way possible... :P

... Waiting on the nicetas rage.

The A08s on the noise channel make the percussion notes last for 15 frames, and that means 3 frames with SQ1 and noise playing together.

told ya

EDIT: Added another example of me covering Bloody Tears

DARN IT!

I could have sworn that my note cuts could have helped!

Use Sxx or A09.

I wasn't even using FamiTracker 0.3.5 or 0.3.6, so that rules out the Sxx command. But I don't really care, honestly; this is one of those contests that don't really yield many good results (like the extra-slow contest). :P

[quote=xolroc]...A09.[/quote]
Let's see:

128 ÷ 9 = 14 ... 9 > 12
128 ÷ 10 = 12 ... 8 > 12
128 ÷ 11 = 11 ... 7 < 12

So for the notes using volume F an A0B or higher must be used, but of course a note cut will stop the note already.

Woops, I forgot about the prizes XD. I'll have to think up some things I can give out...

Also, I attempted to make my own. I'll edit the first post with everyone's songs.

I read about this, and thought I'd leave my mark here. Enjoy, everyone. ^___^
