[quote=Xyz_39808]Also, lepage, were the Pxx's on the other songs in the module already correct?[/quote]
o lol, I never noticed there were other tracks. No, I only corrected the first tracks. I'm assuming all other tracks use the same tuning though.
What's with the Pxx effects? Are you adding those because rainwarrior's NSF importer says so? I thought all that P7F and P81 nonsense was just an artifact of reconciling the original frequency tables with FamiTracker's?
Yes, I am using the NSFImporter but it sounds accurate to me. I'm working on Dirty Harry because the music is tuned sharp on that one and it sounds spot-on.
I wouldn't call it an artifact; I wanted the importer to have accurate pitches. FamiTracker doesn't support custom pitch tables, but at least you can do it by hand like this if you want.
I mean, it's what happens when you try to map one range of values to another one. Like if you're mapping the values from 0 to 255 to the range of 0 to 100: the original list of numbers might go (0,1,2,3,4...255) but the new one will be (0,0,0,1,1...100) and someone might look at the new list and say, "Oh, it doesn't start to increment until the 4th number." But really by the 2nd number, you're already off by 1/255 - rounding deviation can't be avoided and placement of the newly mapped values can be deceptive, or at least not very transparent. This is no criticism of rainwarrior - I can't imagine what he could do to make the importer better. But, I'm not sure how much sense it makes to include those P7F/P81 commands when you're making a cover. It will make the cover more accurate compared to the imported song, but how much closer does it bring you to the original? Isn't that a little like trying to paint a scene from an internet reference image and painting the JPEG jaggies in the sky?
Mm, I suppose it would depend whether you think FamiTracker has "better" tuning than the original.
I'm kinda surprised at how I haven't managed to find an NSF yet that is tuned significantly differently. I mean, aside from how you choose to round your frequencies (which is basically what we're seeing with these P7F/P81s on import), tuning to A440 is arbitrary, and even 12 tone equal temperament is arbitrary when you get down to it. It think it's weird that like every game I've looked at seems to be within 1 or 2 pitch values of the tuning that FamiTracker is using.
