Decided to challenge myself with a SPEED1NOSCOPECLASSICALCHIPTUNE.

It was originally gonna be a sister entry alongside Bygone Era to (*deep inhale*) Famicompo Mini Vol. 10 Exhibition, but I ran outta time.

Feelgood Island is just a placeholder name; any better ideas are welcome. Also criticism and edits; just can't get that ending to sound right...

Well, I'm not the best to give advice, but I think that some slight vibrato for some of those long notes might sound better. This would make them feel less plain in terms of sound.

The song is good as it is now. Perhaps some improvements would be okay, though there are many things I consider to be right, like the volume balance, so there's not much you can do actually. Try some vibrato and see what comes out!

Yeah, vibrato sounds good... I guess I just got lazy cause I didn't want to copy-paste the same string of Pxy commands. Doin' it.

Vibrato on those pulse leads would help immensely. Other than that, well done!

All right, sexy vibratos and a few pitchbends added.

It's better, though I would say that maybe they could have a balance between bending up and down. Still, as it is now it's pretty good and sounds better, though some of the longer notes still have a plain feeling, which is where you may want to apply just a slight vibrato, so it doesn't have the same constant sound. It's nice and better than before.

That one long 50% pulse near the beginning really should have vibrato that starts off very subtle and progressively increases like a person singing a long note. It just sounds so plain for too long.

Alright, FINALLY. Thanks for all your help, guys.

...I now realize why people use 128-row frames for these things, by the way. TOO MANY FRAMES!
