[8-BIT PART ONLY] The Legend (In-Game Version) β DELTARUNE Chapter 1
68did I stay up until 4am last night because I had a burst of inspiration and I wanted to get this out on friday morning? ...maybe π
[it's the in-game version (5% slower than OST version) because I just don't understand why Toby Fox does that with his soundtracks]
I decided to tackle this song after listening to it for a couple days, so I started with the chiptune portion of the track. I ended up having so much fun, I finished it in a matter of hours. but some parts of it are so cool on its own, I figured I had to upload it in advance. plus, there's the added benefit of the oscilloscope view, in case anyone else wanted to reference it for their own covers or whatever
yeah, it's not hardware-accurate; the NES only had one triangle channel, one noise channel, two pulse channels, and a dcpm channel (unused here). though, a commenter pointed out it's more like NES + the MMC5 expansion chip, which actually adds two more pulse channels, so I guess it actually could work. but even then, the waveforms here are too "pure" because it's not in a NES-specific program, just a VST in my DAW. eh, at least it sounds pretty much the same. the amplitudes of the waves in the video aren't all accurate either, due to the way I make everything look nicer for viewing. I guess with all these caveats, just enjoy, eh?
still not sure what soundfont I'll use for the orchestral instruments. I was thinking Wind Waker or Final Fantasy 7 (or both as separate uploads?) any suggestions are appreciated
personal highlights:
0:50 I just LOVE in the original when the piano and the triangle wave ascend together, it's such a unique sound. though here it's just the wave
1:15 pay close attention to how the snare has a unique progression for two bars, I almost missed it
1:25 when one of the square channels doubles the triangle channel at a lower octave AUGH that sounds incrediblee
