Kjmann Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 11 hours ago, Beeblebrox said: @VinsCool Great work with the recent new implementations. Keep up the good work. One really novice question - Having grown up with the Pokey sounds in games but not being well educated in all things chip tune, (I am no musician either) - whilst I see talk of things like sawtooth, square, sine, and triangle waveforms, etc, I don't actually know what that refers to specifically when it comes to Pokey. I can find soundwave info online for example here, but I can really relate this to the sounds I am hearing in Pokey chip tunes: http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Sound_Wave#Square_Wave It seemed to me the majority of pokey game tunes had what I'd deem the trademark Atari "wobble" waveform, (heh heh please excuse my rather comical ignorance). What type of waveform is the aforementioned "wobble" sound? I'd love to have an audio reference/snipett/example of the most typical (old and new) sounds pokey is capable of and name of the waveform as a reference - so I can finally know what is meant by sawtooth, etc and what a sawtooth waveform sounds like on Pokey. Is there an easy way to do this? I've loaded up your RMT tracker and had a very quick look around, loading up songs, etc. As I've mentioned before I really love the Battle Squadron pokey tune which has a fantastic leading synthesizer sounding waveform. What is the name of that particular waveform? (In your video it is the 2nd channel down, kicking in at 23seconds in): just curious, Is this my version reworked or did you do this one from scratch? ?

_The Doctor__ Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) KJMANN did a decent apology to the community at one time I believe.... which is more than a great number of people have ever done. That gave him some leeway and respect So some of us cut a little slack and let bygones be bygones... so in this rare instance the moderation team did something correctly on the merits.

Kjmann Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Vin's version of Battle Squadron inspired me to rework my version and clean it up a bit.

Beeblebrox Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) @VinsCool @Kjmann I would love to see this tracker and some talented individual, (flattery gets you everywhere), tackle Blade Runner Blues by Vangelis someday - I think it could translate well, (perhaps lending itself to a stereo version more than mono but mono would still be amazing I am sure). The fact both renditions of Battle Squadron sounds amazing on the A8 makes me think so, (Synth sound). It's one of my all time favourite Film music track and films: Did I mention it's my birthday coming up soon!?!
