Mini Episode 2: New(ish) VRC7 Discoveries

This place is going to be a home of my 8-bit and 16-bit era Chiptunes, mostly covers to see (or hear rather) how certain tracks sound with the limitations of a superior/inferior system in comparison to the originals, or simply to test myself how close I can get my attempt of recreation. Sometimes I'll get original songs up as well, the only way to improve myself is to listen feedback after all!

Hardware emulated for my songs:

Ricoh 2A03 (CPU and sound processor of the Nintendo Entertainment System) [2 Pulse channels, 1 Triangle, 1 Noise, 1 DPCM Sampler]
+ Konami VRC6 (Providing 3 extra monophonic channels) [2 Pulse channels, 1 Sawtooth]
+ Konami VRC7 (Providing 6 extra monophonic channels, based on the Yamaha YM2413 / OPLL) [6 2-operator FM channels]
+ Namco N163 (Providing up to 8 extra monophonic channels) [up to 8 wavetable sysnth channels]

Yamaha YM2612 (Main sound chip of the Sega Genesis) [6 4-operator FM channels, or 5 FM + 1 8-bit Sampler)
+ Texas Instruments SN76489 (secondary sound chip of the Sega Genesis, sound chip of the Sega Master System) [3 Square tone channels + 1 Noise

Programs I use:
Famitracker
VGM Music Maker
Audacity
FL Studio 8 (rarely)
Milkytracker


Enjoy your stay!
