FamiTracker
Hello. It's been a bit since I've actually last covered anything, but here's something I made rather recently. It's not the most original song to cover in Famitracker, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
This is great, man! I love the pitch bends and percussion you added; it gives the song a much more slick feel to it. The way you did the vibratos also made it still sound distinctly Zelda 2-ish, which is always a good thing in my book.
The only criticism I can give would be that in rows 20 through 3F in frames 11 through 18, the notes aren't triplets like they should be. I'm probably not one to talk, considering that I myself have trouble making triplets sound good in FamiTracker, but hopefully you'll be satisfied with this little fix-up.
I totally forgot that I used fake triplets until just now. Basically I knew how to make triplets with faster notes, but absolutely forgot how to make the longer triplets so I just did what I did as a placeholder...but then it just so happened to sound so similar that I forgot about it entirely.
Oh well, I do appreciate the slight alteration!
You could also round your tempo down to 150BPM and then you get exact triplets (though 154bpm is so close to exact that you generally wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway.)

[quote=MiniMacro]I don't even know what a triplet is, so yeah. But good![/quote]
...seriously? ... Well, triplets are effectively 12th notes, i.e. three of them for each quarter note / beat. They're the most commonly used form of tuplet.
As for the OP, I didn't even notice the timing on those notes was off until somebody adjusted them into triplets.

[quote=MiniMacro]Oh. I didn't know they were called triplets. Okay. Yes, I do know what triplets are, then.[/quote]
Ah.
Yeah, tuplets are named for what division of a beat they are (e.g. triplets = 3, sixlets = 6). Sometimes you can find five-lets or seven-lets, but three are by far the most common. (There's also some debate about whether sixlets are stressed as two groups of three or three groups of two, but whatever.)

Eighth note triplets are 12th notes, yes, but notes of any duration can be any kind of tuplet. You could have quarter note triplets, which could be called "6th notes," or half note quintuplets, which could be called "5th notes," etc.
