As I said: An original song by me.
Originally made as a MIDI, then conversed to a tracker module (.it), and now, finally, as a FamiTracker-file.

Originally, I was going to give a slight vibrato to the triangle-melody part of the song, but it turned out to be too annoying.
Additionally, this has a different pitch than the original file, since I used some notes which weren't compatible here (very low ones).

The .fmt is attached.
Any ideas for improvement?

Triangle is okay. Everything sounds good. However, as a ftm it doesn't have much interesting stuff, but that's fine since you are a beginner(I guess).

I can easily imagine that the triangle would have sounded terribly awful if you applied vibrato on it, even if it's a slight one, since the notes it plays are too high, so it could have easily messed everything up.

What you can do next is remixing this with a expansion chip like VRC6 when you get better at tracking. This can go further than it is right now, but don't rush things, or you might screw it up.

I like this tune.

Presumably, the vibrato command made it too wide and you couldn't get it at the speed you wanted. Doing it by hand is always an option (see instrument 02 in the attached file)

I started adding that, and making everything a little less overpowering (it was quite loud)... and then I got carried away, sorry. :\ Anyway, hopefully this might give you some ideas.

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist :P

I hope the percussion didn't become too Mega Man-ish, because I don't want to ruin this nice little tune.

Edit: Forgot to add a crash cymbal (Frame 6), now it's hopefully there...

Wheee! :P
Threw in some DPCM kicks for punch, fixed the tempo (it's exactly the same, just more stable now) and a couple of oopsies I left, and tweaked a few things here and there.

Changed the kick and added a noise slide down (which was probably unnecessary)...
