It's small, done in FT 0.3.0 & uses MMC5 with only one instrument. I tried to make a sad, quiet, music-box-like song while experimenting with my yet-to-be-finished final OST. I'm not sure if I should include this tune as part of the OST, so I'll ask your critique.

NSF included.

This sounds nice. I like it. What you were going for with sad music box-like seems fitting to me.

I like it.

How come you don't have another V on every 4th sixteenth? To me it kinda feels like dead space that could be filled with just a little more twinkle.

There's a limit on how much "twinkle" is bearable in a tune like this, especially when using normal square channels (as in 2A03 &/or MMC5). I find VRC6's pulse width control more suitable for something like this, honestly, but I already started my final OST as MMC5.

Try increasing the volume values of each channel & play the song through; you'll see what I mean (that would also explain the reason why I reduced the duty effects' usage amount in the 2-last & last frames as the volume increases to 4).
