This time, the gimmick is an arpeggiated snare, achieved here with a multiplier macro to allow for full hi-hats. The hi-hats are affected by this as well, but with the right pitches it's not jarring and actually makes them sound a bit richer. There's also a multiplier macro on the toms to make them slightly punchier.
Arpeggiated snares my beloved...

All samples were made by Ether, whether they're hand-drawn waveforms, synthesized sounds, or acoustic recordings.
Tied for 4th place (out of 7 entries) with @EntropyAuthor and @captainoftheorangejuice. Congratulations to @axoK1p for winning the competition!

Features square-assisted drums, like Tony Williams's on the Tandy 3-Voice, but more subtle so the square component can be cut when necessary without being jarring.

The reason is to avoid pops and clicks in the triangle channel as a result of the period value crossing between $0FF and $100. I don't feel like getting into WHY that causes problems, but just know there's a tiny chance each time it happens that a distracting click plays. So I had to fix it. Annoyingly, Dn-FamiTracker doesn't seem to emulate this (or if it does, subtle timing differences messed it up somehow).

That probably sounds like a silly joke but the experience that inspired this was surprisingly emotional for me. As in- I was legitimately tearing up. And I'm still not sure why. I don't remember whether it was in the '22-'23 winter season or the '23-'24 one, but either way this has stuck in my brain for a while now. I don't think this tune captures the emotion I felt in that moment, but I think I still made something decent out of it. It at least captures *an* emotion. I hope you all like it :]

Sorry for no APU distortion visualization today; as of now, that's impossible for a track made in Furnace. BUT, no forks of FamiTracker have nonzero loop points for DPCM samples, and making this song in my custom driver would take absolutely forever :P
Friendly reminder that this technique is 100% game viable! No IRQs, no precisely timed code, no nothin'! I wouldn't feature it on this channel otherwise :P

I realized what was originally the sawtooth bass would work fine as a periodic noise bass instead. I had to adjust the key a bit to make the square bass sound... *okay.*
This uses the silent noise tick trick to get punchier percussion by only starting to play the noise sound once its further ahead in its sequence.

I felt like the tune could work pretty well on POKEY, and I think I was right. Some parts of the tune required me to consolidate 2 channels into 1 channel with a wider range to get that low square bass sound; since I already had an extra channel however, this wasn't really a problem.
No real tricks here, but I did have to detune this one differently from all the rest because... that's kinda just how the POKEY is :P

From there, I found *multiple* neat tricks (detailed below), made my first ever FM electric guitar, and managed to put it all together into... this! And I'm very proud of it :]
Neat Trick™️ #1: Smooth SSG-EG Triangle Wave - This revolves around the oscillator frequency being the minimum of 0 Hz. The SSG-EG sawtooth envelopes reset the phase of the oscillator each time they cycle, but the triangle envelopes do not. This means that, for a 0 Hz oscillator, a sawtooth envelope will always result in no sound, since the sine wave starts on the zero line, but a triangle envelope MAY result in sound, depending on where the sine wave happened to be in its cycle. To accomplish sound easily and consistently, start playing a new note with the oscillator playing a subsonic frequency depending on tick rate (~15 Hz for standard NTSC timing), then on the very next tick, change the frequency to 0 Hz. The former sine wave will now just be a DC offset that the SSG-EG acts upon, creating a smooth triangle-ish wave depending on the envelope settings.
Neat Trick™️ #2: AY Envelope Coarse Volume Control - This one revolves around the square wave period being set to 0. This effectively creates a DC offset halfway between the volume-0 level and the volume-15 level, which the hardware envelope can then act upon. So instead of sweeping from volume-15 to volume-0, it sweeps from ~volume-13 (since the AY has logarithmic volume) to volume-0. To switch between full and half volume, simply enable or disable the square wave in the relevant channel. This is obviously pretty handy for potentially better mixing. The only downside is that you then can't mix a (sonic frequency) square wave into it to make all those cool sounds that come with doing that.

Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher[LOW EFFORT + READ DESC] I so badly wanted to do this in my latest song...TTW Tunes2023-08-07 | I'm fairly certain there's no real way to do this in FamiTracker, any fork (and Furnace doesn't even loop DPCM samples correctly lol) without retriggering the sample over and over (which sounds kinda ugly) or just putting all the pulse widths in one giant sample. And even if you did that, that would heavily limit your PWM speed possibilities, unless you use even more samples.
There very well could be a driver out there that can do this already, but regardless, I wrote my own program to play this sound. It truly doesn't do anything fancy except bump the sample address in one direction or the other after every NMI, and allow me to change the pitch of the sample by pressing UP or DOWN. There aren't any non-game-viable tricks going on here, and the total sample usage is still only 408 bytes. :P
Speaking of changing the pitch, you also can't smoothly change the pitch of a sample in FamiTracker without retriggering it, which again sounds kinda ugly if you're doing it quickly (perhaps for the purpose of a wavetable kick). I wrote a different program before this one that I forgot to save to see if it worked at all, and sure enough, that worked too.

I'm not gonna though; the music for this game will always slap.

I think I did just about all that I could with 33-byte samples. The range/resolution I was able to pull off on that half-triangle wave is honestly amazing.
They ain't ready for the DPCM arps 😈

I'm DEFINITELY doing more with this technique very soon! I'm pressed for time at the moment, but I might explain more about it in a pinned comment if you all wanna know how this works, if you don't know already, of course. :P

Sorry about the triggering; I must have a Corrscope skill issue because I spent two hours on this oscilloscope view and... yeah.
