Something a bit different from me (no reggae! All shout 'yay!'). More or less finished apart from a few tweaks I reckon - unless anyone has some different ideas.
The very end section seems like a glitch, but that disappears in the NSF (always important to listen to the NSF in VRC7, it sounds so different).
Sweet sound! The only thing I didn't like was the coin lead used in pulse 1. I think because it's played too straight compared to the more organic sounds in every other channel. Maybe it needs a more complex timbre, maybe it needs more variation in melody or some reverb, notsure.

Thanks Patashu! Yeah, I know what you mean - everything else has a kinda distorted, almost SIDish sound and there's this very clean "chinG!" part.. I don't know... kinda like it though.
Do you have any suggestions as to how you would change it?
[quote=Doxic] I enjoy the reggae!!
EDIT2: wow it's really cool, I liked it a lot <3[/quote]
Thank you Doxic! I think I'm slowly getting through to more people with my reggae-ish stuff (tbf I don't know where the reggae ends and the chiptune starts with some of my stuff). I'm happy that I've done a pure chiptune that I'm more-or-less content with. I hear a lot of great chiptune stuff on here, but when I try the pure chiptune vibe, my stuff doesn't come out like that... it comes from writing stuff in a rhythmic rather than melodic and progressive way I guess.
[quote=Mr_Master]I also enjoy your reggae tunes. I really liked this, but there are two things that I want to point out:
First, frames 0C and 0D should loop once(as to my liking, at least, since I heard the one in the doodles section first and that one stuck in my head).
And second, the VRC7 channels 4, 5 and 6 sound a little detuned from frames 0E to 11, but at least it doesn't bug me at all.
This could be improved in many ways, but as it is now is very enjoyable. And the fade out at the end of the song is really neat. Good job.[/quote]
And thanks to you too Mr Master sir. I know what you mean about the frames, but I have this problem where in my arrangement I just play everything twice, and it bugs me. I think for the final product it'll only loop once, but I've made an edit for your personal enjoyment!
In frames 0E to 11, I detuned them purposefully, to give it a raucous sound. It only remains for people to decide whether they like that or not.

Wow, I never intended you to make an edit for me, so thanks for it. It's OK in both ways, looping once and twice, but if you like it looping once, do it that way, since this is your song. I don't know what to say, so, that's it for now! Thanks again for that edit, I appreciate it.

You can keep it as it is for the 'implied high pass filter' parts, for the rest of the time it needs something like:
-single channel or double channel reverb
-a second channel mimicing it, but an octave or two lower
-add to its arpeggio lower octave parts/add to its duty cycle some non duty cycle 2 parts, so it sounds fuller
IMO
I enjoy the reggae!!
