FamiTracker
A hopefully humorous cover of C-jeff's AY tune "I want PC" used in the Vectrex demo "[url=http://youtu.be/zC1Zp4i12I4?t=14s]Where have all the pixels gone!?..." As you can probably guess by the title of the thread, I'm giddy.
This is also the most complex 2A03 cover I've done, but that's not really saying much. This would sound almost exactly the same as the original on the 5B.
WOW! I've never heard of the original track, but for 2a03 only, that sounds surprisingly complex and deep.
The triangle sounds amusing alone, but it's doing a great job of melody and percussion.
The noise sounds really great, too - and it mostly uses nothing more than a single pitch! Respect.
The Pulse melody has a surprisingly warm feel to it - it kind of reminds me of the beautiful tones of the Commodore 64 SID 6582. And that's not easy to accomplish on an NES. Beautiful Echoes on Pulse 1 aswell. And the arpeggios are greatly empathizing the echo they're used in.
And there are even Pulse drums on Pulse 2!! You, sir, are great.
All of these Instruments are of astounding complexity and it really pays off.
It sounds just like something out of a Demo.
And about the Sunsoft 5B ... yeah, it would be nice having the option to try it, but wasn't it pretty underutilized anyways?
EDIT: I forgot! Bear in mind that Famitracker 0.4.3 doesn't return to the original note after the sequence is over, but previous and (I hope so ...) probably future versions will do so.
Or did you already include that behaviour into the track?

[quote=Zaalan3]Until the 5b is finished, you could just play an ay and an ftm at the same time if that makes you feel better.[/quote]
For whatever reason, VortexTracker 2's 60Hz rate is slightly faster than Famitracker's (it obviously shouldn't be that way. 60Hz is 60Hz), so that's not really an option. Plus, Vortextracker doesn't let you set the CPU speed low enough to correctly emulate the Sunsoft 5B. If I wanted to do that, I'd have to:
-track a song in VT2 with the clock set to 1.789773 MHz
-raise the entire song one octave
-export to .sndh and play it
-set the player's interrupt to 120Hz
-record/export to .wav
-halve the speed of the file to compensate for the doubled interrupt and clock rate
-get the result.
It's a long and annoying process (and I'm not even including trying to synchronize it with Famitracker or my Famicom), and it is in no way efficient or satisfying in the end.

The 5B was only used once officially, and I don't know how many 5B NSFs are out there, but its cousins were among the most popular sound chips in history.
