​@@TafferDP That's kind of an error as far as I am concerned. Japan never had a product called the "NES." It was the Famicom there as everyone and their grandmother knows. It was the west that had the system name changed by Nintendo of America. And in the US, where the system launched with this western name, it was always referred to as the N-E-S, or by its full name, Nintendo Entertainment System. Most kids just called it the Nintendo. You'd be hard-pressed to find any kind of official audible advertisement here in the US calling the system the "ness." That didn't really become a thing until the European launch, which honestly I consider to be a bit of a head-scratcher as it went for a full year in the US never being called "ness."

Haha my thoughts exactly

"There's probably a decent trick to getting a kick outta the NES" You had the right idea with the triangle wave. Make it have a sharp fadeout and make it go down in pitch really fast at the same time. That creates the perfect sound.

Imagine if behringer released a clone of the NES sound card as a eurorack module

Sounds amazing as usual Sam! A great trick for making kicks on the NES is to use a very quick pitch envelope on the triangle channel and combine it with one of the lower sounds on the noise channel. If you need a huge kick you can even add a sample on the DPCM channel :)

When I messed around making games for the NES I used the noise channel to get a kick drum. Just asked the last two professional NES programmers in the office and neither did much sound programming back in the day. Mostly ZX Spectrum and GameBoy devs among us oldies here. Shit, I've just let the secret out that some game studios are full of middle aged men ;)

the way to get NES kick drums nowadays is to take the triangle channel, play a middle-highish pitched note and quickly slide the pitch downwards.

@@j5d1c73 Exactly, that's how guys like Tim Follin did it back in the day. I highly recommend any of his NES soundtracks. He layered the triangle slide with a clicky sound on the noise channel to get the attack sound of a kick drum. He also uses the same technique for the snare.

there's a trick for getting a kickdrum sound out of the triangle wave, and it's about quickly dipping the volume and then getting it back back at the right time. There's a vid on KZread explaining it (it's got white-lines-on-black-background visuals)

You could do the "stereo" sound mod and get even cooler effects. I got really good results with a circuit that used a couple pots to mix the levels and also add some of the mono signal back in. You get a nice clean, punchy sound with adjustable channel separation.

Definitely cool stuff.

There's a guy Johan Fjeldtvedt who made a midi NES synth that just uses the 2603 audio processor chip and breaks it out with buttons into a sequencer. Check it out there's a github page with pcb files and schematics. Called Nesizer, I'm planning on building one. There's KZread videos of it. This sounded great. Love the NES.

I seriously enjoyed that song!

To get a good kick sound out of a nes you need to use the triangle channel and have note that pitches down fast.

right when you pulled the bart nes game out, somewhere out there, james rolfe got goosbumps

Amazing man, always impressed with your work. Would love to see what you could do with one of those old TVBOYs you could get in Argos for £20 back in the day.

So it was the Famitracker before Famitracker. Nice!

That tune was epic! 8 bit music is great

Cool song, and sound very modern which is the best of all, to use vintage electronics for modern genres

Cyrklon! Best sequencer!

At 06:42 it really sound like a 8 bit version of "Ratchet" by Bloc Party, so cool !

Thats one sick tune !

Amazing if you would have made tunes for original nes games back in the day gamers would be banging on about them now humming them. Also some other wonderful systems ( Neogeo Aes ) Neogeo Pocket ( Nintendo 64 ) Sega Megadrive & 32x and Mega Cd. The neogeo aes games have some really iconic music.

I am going to get one! Had no idea these existed before watching this video.

ITS...........BEAUTIFUL!!!

Great tune dude

17 bytes. The sound chip in the NES has 17 bytes of registers. 136 bits Every one of those bits does some serious shit. Tried writing a 2A03 from scratch. Good shit

Use the sweep on a square wave to get a decent kick. You can use a hard pitch bend on the triangle wave as well if this supports pitch bend commands (I don’t have this, I have midines). At lot of games use the noise channel for kick drums, not really my favorite sound though

Use the sculpt kmob on the cirklon to sclupt in your parameters ( aux values ) while playing the pattern

The way you'd usually make a kick drum on an NES is to use the triangle wave with a bit of the noise channel i think, you can get a sort of kick drummy sound like that. Or cheat like Sunsoft and use the sample channel for that.

@superandroidtron

4 жыл бұрын

While Sunsoft did use the DPCM channel for drums on some of their earlier games, they switched to triangle/noise drums later in order to free up the DPCM channel for the bass. Check out the "Batman: Return of the Joker" soundtrack.

Awesome, pretty same as LSDJ for gameboy

I picked up a bare nes console the other day for 5 bucks at a flea market, I guess they are still out there!!
