FamiTracker
Just joined up earlier tonight. I've heard some really cool stuff from here so far, and I thought I'd post something myself. I'm really just getting into Famitracker, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. Last week, I tried to replicate Bubble Man's theme from Mega Man 2 just for practice. Let me know what you think.
I've been looking to get into chiptuning for a while. I used to mess around with Fruity Loops years ago (now FLstudio), and more recently tried getting the 8 bit effect to work using VST plugins, but it didn't sound authentic enough.
I found out about Famitracker a few months ago and made a simple loop the day I installed it (attached), but haven't gotten the chance to really play with it until about 2 weeks ago...and its a blast! Really interesting stuff. I've got a few projects in mind that I'm excited to start whenever I get the time, so I'll keep you guys posted.
Hey that's pretty good. I put up a version of Bubble Man's stage about a year and a half ago (it's also located on the famitracker wiki page). Since I got version 3.5 beta a few months ago I have been updating some of the files and Bubble man was one of those I tried to clean up. I will post the newest one here. Your version is very good for a first time.
Tallboyy: I think it is not THAT bad if I try to point out all mistakes in your version, right?
1) Wrong volume envelopes (even you use the volume column). The correct envelope for instrument 02 should be:
[i]0 (repeat 13 by 17 times) (repeat 12 by 18 times) (repeat 11 by 18 times) (repeat 10 by 18 times) ...[/i]
for all notes in square 1, with all volumes on the channel volume column removed.
2) 4xys are a no-no in covers. That surely is just me, but most of us here should be able to do a pitch envelope with NSFplay.
Plus, what is that 4xy combo in pattern 04? It is wrong. MM2 never does this. All vibratos in square 1 use this envelope:
[i]| 3 3 -3 -3 -3 -3 3 3[/i]
3) The correct volume envelope for instrument 03 should be:
[i]0 8 1 1 0[/i]
instead of 13 6 0.
4) Because of the volume envelope you have created, 225s should come with PCEs.
5) Redundant V02s are found in square 1 pattern 01/02. In fact, those rows should be:
[i]C-4 02 - 210 P90[/i]
Also there are never S03s in the real version.
I am sure that there are more mistakes, but I am doing a perfect-pxx version. That version shall list the rest of the flaws.
Before doing Bubble Man I might attach this forgotten cover as well.
I think for comment 5 with the redundant V02's you are talking about rows 02/03 correct? If so it only seems redundant because I used the Sxx function there. If you take away the V02 in the pattern it switches back to the default (V00). I was really just trying to test out the new beta version and begin to use the new functions. I was excited to have a better sounding 4xx so I thought I would try my hand at it as opposed to creating a whole new instrument. As for the other stuff I just went by ear pretty much. It sounded good to me so I left it at that. Thanks for the criticism and by all means make it as accurate as you see fit for your stuff. Mine was really just for personal enjoyment.
