Very nice tunes, @POLARIA POYON ! Will definitely keep you in mind, for Coleco and TI projects both.

 

 

Thank you so much! Im glad you like my music!

Hi! Polaria Poyon here! I make chiptune for a lot of different soundchips but I'm best known for my work on SN76489. It was used in a number of different systems, including the ColecoVision. I was wondering if anyone needed music done for a Colecovision homebrew project? I have some demos to show off of my original music done in the soundchip!

If you're interested the best places to reach me are at [email protected] or through DMs on twitter (@polariapoyon).

(Metropolitan Dusk utilizes Game Gear hard panning stereo, which the ColecVision doesn't have. The hi hats also might sound slightly different since periodic noise is handled different compared to Game Gear, but otherwise this is playable on a Coleco!)

There seems to be a new 7800

soundchip ‘in town’, called the PokeyONE.

 

If working with 7800 homebrew is something you contemplate, getting into this chip may be getting into the future of 7800 homebrew sound.

 

But... I’m no expert.

 

The standard 7800 hardware uses the same soundchip as the old 2600 with its many limitations.

 

Still, I’ve heard music that has atmosphere and some quality using ‘only’ this original old chip.

 

The 2600 soundchip is extremely limiting, but its not surprising given it was developed with only sound effects in mind. It's especially impressive when I hear people get actual tunes coming out of it.

Have you ever worked with POKEY before? It seems to be the goto 7800 sound chip, at least at the moment lol.

Ive never finished a song with it but I understand how it works. I admire the "crunchy" saw bass you can get out of it, very fun!

Were there any synthesizer families you were specifically interested in (OPLL, AY, etc.) or just anything goes?

PSG soundchips in particular (NES, Master System etc.). I'd actually love to work with AY more, I never really get the opportunity to.

Hi! I'm chiptune artist POLARIA POYON and I'm looking to get involved in atari 7800 homebrew! The 7800 dev scene always seemed really fun to me since you could theoretically hook up any soundchip to it, so I have a lot of ideas for how to approach scoring an ost.

 

Ive done chiptune for projects before, including Mega Man Maker and a Master System homebrew called Lain VS The Castle of Evil. 

 

I have a few soundcloud links to give you an idea of what I'm capable of!
