chiptune set M2: The more "song"-ish tune

Post by kensuguro »

No title yet, but another one for the chiptune set fo songs. Uses the exact same setup as the other song, just some volume tweaks here and there. Thing is, there really isn't much more I can do in terms of tweaking the synth itself.

This one has a more distinctive "song" structure, and melodies are much more predominant than the other one. Would be the more listener friendly tune out of the two. It's quite happy, and much more funky.

Strange thing was, since I used a couple of "canned" progressions it reminded me that I could mix and match. Canned ones are good because people know them by heart, and usually they're really easy to write pentatonic melodies over. Great hooks. Only problem is they sound very "canned", and using the progression itself brings on specific set or arrangements for many parts.. Anyway, those are thrown in there for spice. I was surprised the NES synths could be made to groove like this. I guess I have an advantage over "real" songs on the cartridges because I don't have to quantize note off. That certainly helps the groove.

m1 & m2 are just top notch stuff Brotha' Man.

I really think you're onto a very original style of arranging.

Those synths just sound so cool and spunky. :wink:
