New Year, Same Me [FamiTracker 2A03 (NES) Original] TTW Tunes 2025-01-02 | Fun fact: this tune used to be pitched slightly *flatter* than A440, rather than sharper as it is now. 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).Total sample usage: 994 bytes.Links and Codes:My main channel: @TheTomatoWatcherMy Discord server: discord.gg/kz2wdw6SMM2 Maker ID: CK6-THR-01GSwitch friend code: SW-6890-8801-9893Steam friend code: 1150191254Epic name: TomatoWatcherYT
Showdown in Space [Furnace YM3812 (AdLib) Original] TTW Tunes 2025-06-23 | More drums mode shenanigans! 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...Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher My Discord server: discord.gg/kz2wdw6SMM2 Maker ID: CK6-THR-01GSwitch friend code: SW-6890-8801-9893Steam friend code: 1150191254Epic name: TomatoWatcherYT

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.Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher My Discord server: discord.gg/kz2wdw6SMM2 Maker ID: CK6-THR-01GSwitch friend code: SW-6890-8801-9893Steam friend code: 1150191254Epic name: TomatoWatcherYT

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 :PMain channel: @TheTomatoWatcher My Discord server: discord.gg/kz2wdw6SMM2 Maker ID: CK6-THR-01GSwitch friend code: SW-6890-8801-9893Steam friend code: 1150191254Epic name: TomatoWatcherYT

Pullin Out All the Stops [Furnace YM2203 (PC-98) Original] TTW Tunes 2024-03-24 | THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOD YOU GUYS!!! :D I can't 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 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 My Discord server: discord.gg/kz2wdw6SMM2 Maker ID: CK6-THR-01GSwitch friend code: SW-6890-8801-9893Steam friend code: 1150191254Epic name: TomatoWatcherYT

Discomfort Zone [Furnace YM2149 (Atari ST) Original] TTW Tunes 2023-08-20 | This was a VERY unfinished project sitting on my computer for... at least 2 months, I think :P Hope it turned out okay.Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher
[LOW EFFORT + READ DESC] I so badly wanted to do this in my latest song... TTW Tunes 2023-08-07 | 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. :PSpeaking 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.Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher

Fall Guys - Beanary Computing [FamiTracker 2A03 (NES) Arrangement] TTW Tunes 2023-07-25 | I'm sure at least some of you thought I was gonna stop doing these considering like half the players are giving up on the game simultaneously (and for good reason). I'm not gonna though; the music for this game will always slap.Original Composer: Daniel HagströmMain Channel: @TheTomatoWatcher
Making the Most of It [FamiTracker 2A03 (NES) Original] TTW Tunes 2023-07-21 | Total sample usage: 429 bytes.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 😈Main channel: @TheTomatoWatcher
Making Waves [FamiTracker 2A03 (NES) Original] TTW Tunes 2023-07-20 | Total samples used: 99 bytes 😎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. :PMain Channel: @TheTomatoWatcher
Such a Square [Furnace YM2203 (PC-98) Original] TTW Tunes 2023-07-19 | Bad title is bad. 👎Sorry about the triggering; I must have a Corrscope skill issue because I spent two hours on this oscilloscope view and... yeah.Haha funny PSG bass in FM tune-Main Channel: @TheTomatoWatcher
