Two Steps Forward, Three...

WORKED ON THE Four-Play tune again last night: FourPlaySong20060821.bin

 

Made a little progress with parts of it and...ugh. Feel like I went mostly backwards. :|

 

My current music driver allows the use of 4 tones (AUDCx values) for notes (an additional four are assigned to the percussion track). I'm mostly using just three: square, lead, and saw. I am using the bass tone a little bit and I thought I could cut that part out and reclaim that 4th tone for an additional percussion sound.

 

Well, suffice to say that an hour later I decided that it wasn't going to work and had to change everything back to what it was originally. :|

 

Did spruce up some of the drum parts and polished the other half of the bass line a little. ;)

 

Everything takes longer than I think it is going to. :ponder: :D

 

In other news, since Reindeer Rescue is the HSC game this week I played a few games last night - got to the fourth level, but couldn't pass it. Maybe tonight. :)

 

Also did some more preliminary planning for my next 2600 project. I'm forcing myself to hold off on any actual coding until I finish the Four-Play tune - maybe that way I'll get it done on time. :ponder:

 

(And man, I'm getting sick of the display with these music binaries...time to change that up, too.)

Well, I got to the 4th level again last night and would have beat it except...I forgot where the last reindeer was and so I missed it (I was in the subway when the reindeer flew by)...oh well.

 

And yes, yes you do need to join the HSC. :lol:

The FourPlay tune sounds great to me now, except for the very last 15 seconds. I am no musician, but at this point it sounds a bit muddled and difficult to follow the melody? Perhaps it would be best just to remove this bit and make the tune a bit shorter as the rest of the tune sounds very nice.
