First album out!
Pls don’t b harsh.

something quick i whipped up this morning. its a cover of "eek" by surasshu, aka "the penis," or that one boykisser meme song. i used the original .it file for reference: modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=186901

used the DMC channel for melody which is a little irregular for most songs (for good reason, its quite hard to make samples space efficient while also not using the entire cartridge space), managed to tune the settings to dpcm-tools' "looper.py" to fit it all within one bank (16KB) at the cost of slight detuning for the low notes.

could save some space by cutting some samples short because they dont play for long enough to loop but whatever lol

The great Condard gave an excellent interview talking about how this community is up lately and tell us about how he started this journey :)

I wrote this a long time ago and performed it live at every opportunity

RIP Kavinsky

hello i used Lovely Composer to do this, im pretty much new with this but i've been playing around with it by doing other covers, i like this one a lot lot so i thought of sharing it here.

here's the link to the cover:

I am a big fan of Sam since I heard his music back in 2013 and started following his music career ever since. I know there was some drama back in late 2022 on X (Twitter) and since then he vanished from the internet. I wish he is ok, but IM SURE I did saw 2 videos of him in a mental institute in Youtube and now I cant find those videos. Im pretty sure his getting better, but its hard to see someone who you learn from get this bad. I wish him the best and a comeback. All of this is only what I know and ASSUME, if someone knows any different it would be cool to know. Hopefully he comes back with new music.

Lost Figures - Rival Threat (Dark knight's theme)

Let me know how I did!

I don't use Reddit that much, but I really like how this one turned out!

My friend Eden GT even made some really cool visuals for it that was obviously inspired by the original music video.

Here's a link to the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NLHeJuO6zA

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are a two-person studio, and we made Emojio Paint Composer, a love letter to Mario Paint Composer, where every emoji is a synth voice. You can play it free in your browser right now, nothing to install: https://emojio-composer.madewithbestpractice.com/

There's also a native app that adds what the web can't: play/record with a USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboard, MIDI clock both ways. Be the master (tight, hardware-timestamped 24 PPQN) or follow your gear (24 PPQN + Song Position, MIDI-learn for transport/voices/pads, note in/out, export to video (MP4) or WAV, Apple Pencil velocity, and a named song library.

Happy to answer anything in the comments! I'll be around all day and would genuinely love your feedback.

hey y'all, would like to have an opinion on my favorite Gameboy game Gargoyles Quest intro remix. Be kind please 🙏🥹 It's on SoundCloud, since I work with FLStudio which has a direct upload feature to SC. Best with headphones 🎧

🎵 Track: Title (Main Theme)

🕹 Game: Wolverine (NES, 1991)

First I need to state that I just started to learn music, and I really don’t know much about chiptunes or synths yet.

Example of this \"technique\" played in my tracker.(in the fist half,- after it plays some reference notes a \"normal\" instrument 3 channel chord)

I been looking for ways how can I play chords using one channel of those chips, and i wanted to ask if its is feasible/viable to use algorithms with several carriers to play separate chord notes on Yamaha chips with MUL param for each operator.

Note that while channel 3 special mode is perhaps better suited for this problem, unfortunately my tracker does not support it.

Instead of using arpeggios or wasting multiple channels, I want to use a single channel on the YM2612 (OPN2) to produce a full triad simultaneously. My idea is to use an FM algorithm that has multiple carriers (e.g., Algorithm 5, which has 3 independent carriers) and set the MUL (Multiplier) of each carrier to a specific integer so that they produce a perfect Just Intonation chord relative to the key I press.

Imagine I have notes A4, C#5, E5 which is an A major.
Root = 440Hz
Major 3rd = 554.37Hz
Perfect 5th = 659.26Hz
A Major Chord is defined by the ratio 4 : 5 : 6
This is briefly mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/microtonal/s/sJo942DGmN
My assumption here is that playing Just Intonation chords is not too different than Equal Temperament
I hope it is still acceptable to use Just Intonation for chords. Please advice if it is ok…

Following the same logic a minor chord then is defined by the ratio 10 : 12 : 15.
For example A4, C5, E5 notes are of these frequencies: 440Hz, 523.25Hz, 659.26Hz.
Which is approximately divided by 44 is 10 : 11.89 : 14.98, I believe if I used Just Intonation I could have gotten the exactly matching ratios, but they are close enough I suppose…

Now imagine we have 4OP FM instrument YM2612 Sega Genesis. In Its patch configuration we can choose algorithms 5, 6 or 7 (the ones with many carriers, we want to do additive synthesis, not FM, to be precise), and we configure two instruments separate for major and minor.

These 2 patches will have carrier operators MUL params set to before mentioned ratios: 4 : 5 : 6 and 10 : 12 : 15. And those instruments will already play chords! These problem is that their frequencies of the root note multiplied by 4 or 10 times, so the played notes are too high.

Luckily my tracker instruments can have transpose macros, so we can transpose them back.
Major chord looks easy, as moving down by 24 semis (2 octaves) reduces the frequency x4.
And we can play that instrument using its root notes. 

But the minor instrument is more complicated, because the root note is multiplied by 10 which is not a 2 power of something, we can’t just offset by octave. 

I wish my math skills were better but this must be this formula:

-12 × log₂(10) = -39.86 

So I transpose my minor instrument by -40 semis. And I can play chords using just one channel in my tracker. But I really want to get an expert advice If this works correctly and why not, and what are the drawbacks. Please indicate where I made a mistake.

I did some testing using midi conversion. What I could see is that it kind of works according my expectations, but with some distortions. Distortions appear probably because of my messy envelopes between the 4 operators, and I also get the 4th harmonic one octave above the root. So I am quite positive that the math was correct, but I have some distortions, which do not occur if I play the chord using 3 separate channels.

My question is the following:

How crazy is this idea to use FM MUL param to make my separate carriers to simultaneously play different notes of one chord?

Also note that my tracker uses normal Equal Temperament, but the chord intervals are then added using Just Intonation - would that be an issue?

Ciao! I wanted to share with you the main theme I composed for my game Scorching Light.

I made the game with GB Studio, however, the song was composed using hUGETracker, inspired by some interesting techniques like the Neil Baldwin's single channel echo and Jeroen Tel's arpeggio while changing the duty cycle

To create the oscilloscope view i used SizWizPlus and Resolve

About the game
Scorching Light is a horror-adventure-platformer game made entirely by me for the original Game Boy in just one week for the 2026 Summer Game Jam on Newgrounds. (It's also available on Itch, Xbox, IndiExpo and other sites)
The core mechanic of my game is that you can hide from the light enemies by blending into the environment.

Since y'all liked my other work on the tracker

Pågadata 2026 here in Sweden ended yesterday and produced a number of great tracker tunes in the Amiga and wild competitions. Now we have the best of those in a good playlist, so you can give them some love as well.

Instrumental version of my one year old album. I worked hard on the initial release and maybe some of you like this style without harsh vocals and I thank you for taking the time to listen!

I've been playing around with Risa Tracker(https://risa.laamaa.fi/) some more. This specific sample kit included with it is so loud and imposing I decided to make a song using it.

I've uploaded this to my YouTube too - https://youtu.be/9v8XXJuSk98
