A first attempt at writing music for a potato. Jesus Mary and Joseph, that is quite the name for a chip. The NEC D65010G031 is responsible for both graphics and sound in the Casio PV-1000, though we're more interested in the sound aspect of it.
It's a 3-voice polyphonic PSG consisting only of square waves.
"Oh cool! Does it have noise?" Didn't ya hear what I just said IT'S ONLY SQUARE WAVES!
"Right, sorry. Does it have any volume control." Only on and off!
"Okay. What's its pitch range?" All high notes and NO BASS!
"Is it at least in tune?" The tuning is horrendous. It sounds like mix between the TIA and VIC-I chips yet it's much worse!
"Sheesh. Does it have any interesting features?" Well, it has ring modulation.
"Oh, interesting. Is it any good?" HELL NAW!
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Just playing around with some dumb samples I made. I just wanted to make a chiptune with one of the most frustrating ADPCM chips out there. ;)
Lyrics:
Move It
Or Lose It
M-M-Move It
Hey There Nerd
What Is It?
Get Out My Way
But Why?
Cause I Said So
Oh, Okay

Composed by TheDuccinator (VGM)
Arrangement by Tobikomi (MT-32)
I wanted to finish these MT-32 covers off with arranging The Good Times by TheDuccinator. I original has a simple and hummable melody, so I made the arrangement a sort of piano cover. The piano patches in the MT-32 (mainly the first three) are not the greatest, yet they hold a certain charm I cant pinpoint. Anywho, I wanted to do something more relaxing and soothing here. The original song is a perfect example of the good times, its a song thats happy and upbeat with a little melancholy mixed in. It encapsulates how the view is reminiscing on older memories... well, at least to me.
Please, enjoy! :D
