The N163 instruments are rather harsh, even for a module made by someone on these forums.
[color=#2b2b2b]Yes, I'm spitting in the face of excessive worship right now, do you have a problem with it?
Otherwise, it ends like pretty much all of your songs do, and, really, just sounds like a longer version of many of your songs. The "orchestral" instruments were indistinguishable, the stick hit had too much hit, the percussion's hits were excessively high-reaching in pitch, and they don't use both electrical and acoustic pianos in most big bands. Plus, I couldn't tell the difference between the pianos and the saxophones, meaning that you REALLY need to put some work into your instrumentation.
But, notation's nice, and, while they're the only parts that really tie it to a big band performance when listening without context, the crowd/band chatter and instrument tuning in the beginning was a nice touch.
I am going to have to agree with what SoltIW said, and also add that while overall their was good unity with the progression of the song, at parts of the song it felt like the song became lost, mainly the melody. I could describe it at best as just various instruments, playing in the same key, playing parts that loosely fit together.
Despite these issues I do commend you for what you have written. It takes a lot of focus and time to write a coherent song with 6 expansion chips. Good Job overall.
However, to answer your question, you need to use FT 0.4.2 because 0.4.3 and after don't really... [i]do[/i] multi-chip. It's a shame, but to be fair it's not something that's possible on real hardware anyway. I would love for some sort of "Multi-chip Special Mode" to become a thing once FT is technically at version 1.0 (which is a very long time from now) but for right now 0.4.2 is the way to go.
