This seasons tracks seem to repeat themselves a lot more than others... You can hear at one part where the track repeats itself that I include a different part of the harmony the second time around. Ill have to take that idea to its extreme for the Survival/Final theme, where the loop is technically ~3 minutes long, but its made of two sections that sound very similar to each other but are slightly different mainly just some extra pitch sweeps here and there. Honestly I think Im gonna have a lot of fun planning out that one ^^

Old tune I made for @EeveeSkittles :] Im so happy you enjoyed this so much, bestie ✨
All the other nice comments on the old video are also very much appreciated. Theyre the reason I chose this tune above some others to reupload. :]

This might be the worst tune Ive ever written, but I cant get anything else done. Im not in a good mental state if you couldnt tell. This tune very much reflects that.

I wasnt planning on doing this, but enough people in the comments wanted me to cover more of the games tracks, so here we are. :P
Specifically, I arranged the tracks that theoretically couldve played in the Game Gear version (so, everything but the Stage intros, the unused tracks, and the theme that plays when the cast of characters appear before the credits).

The third in a series of videos dedicated to making one particular composition work on multiple systems. 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 wasnt really a problem.
No real tricks here, but I did have to detune this one differently from all the rest because... thats kinda just how the POKEY is :P

Yeah I know I did this one already on NES, but I mean- its just so good (and MediaTonic doesnt want us to hear it anymore lol). Also composers block is real.

THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOD YOU GUYS!!! :D I cant believe how well this came together; it just started with me experimenting with Extended Ch 3 and SSG-EG, trying to see if I could make more than 1 of the 4 operators sound interesting by themselves. 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 Im 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 cant mix a (sonic frequency) square wave into it to make all those cool sounds that come with doing that.

The first in a series of videos dedicated to making one particular composition work on multiple systems. I chose a somewhat strange (but plausible) selection of platforms from the 80s, and youll see more what I mean as the future videos are published. This was the system the tune was initially composed for.
Yes, this is using the same trick as last video, glad you asked. :P
