hey there everyone, i'm Lexou, i just made an account here and i've been making chiptunes for a little while now, here's some of my stuff (all of what i've finished and uploaded onto youtube)
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmIfv8dM5HA]FFVII - Dancing Mad
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGxFFcdW7nA]LoZ Skyward Sword - Koloktos/Moldarach Battle
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIFMvhv_-Og]Castlevania SotN - Wandering Ghosts
(yes i also made the mockups)
i've attached something i'm working on atm, but it doesn't sound that good to me and i have no idea how i can make the instruments and echo channels sound better so i was hoping you guys could help
Cool, you decided to join the forums! :D
Looking forward to see more from you.
Hmm, as for your question, I assume you're talking about the VRC6 Pulses? If that's the case, well, I would probably detune one of the channels (in this case, Pulse 2). You can detune your channels by adding Pxx effects, and if you want to make better echoes, you should use either P81 or P7F (choose the one you think sounds the best). And I personally think that you should make Pulse 1 slightly louder and Pulse 2 slightly quieter. Otherwise, great job!
And like I said in Youtube, that Castlevania cover is really good.
If you're still having trouble, you can search for my Mega Man stuff, they should come in handy.
Welcome to the forums!

thanks for the tips, they were a big help though the biggest game changer for me was playing around with the echo's duty settings
one question about effects in general by the way : which effects are one-time use and which ones stay activated until otherwise instructed ?
you'd think that would be in the effects table...
i've attached what i got now, i consider myself pretty much done unless someone suggests otherwise.
the song is a little short though i wonder if its worht making a video...
This might be a bad answer but it's something that you have to either experience or read more about.
Here is a link to a list of effects where you can read more about the effects.

I can already tell that pitch bends (Qxy and Rxy) and Hardware sweeps (Hxx and Ixx) are one-timers, but I think most effects are enabled until you either disable them or change them back to default (like P80 for the Pxx effect).
So you don't need to use P7F all over the place, however you can, if you want, use P7F on the first note in the frame if that makes you feel more comfortable (so you don't need to scroll up just to see if it's detuned or not).

well thanks for the quick answers everyone, i really think this info should be put in the help file of ft next time an update comes around
till then i made this song together with gorsal (some of you might know him)
you might know the song as what plays in the big lebowski when he's in the pimp's mansion
i'd really like your feedback on this one, i'm not really used to using many effects like this so im sure how well i managed
