  • This one was pretty damn fun to cover! There really isn't enough VERA music, it's actually a really fun chip to work with (imo).
    I've been getting into the X16 scene quite a bit recently, and have even already done two soundtracks for The 8-Bit Guy already! (You'll see the uploads for those shortly.)
    Made with Furnace, the newest multi-system chiptune tracker: github.com/til...
    Visuals made with Corrscope: github.com/cor...
    Support the Commander X16: commanderx16.com (This isn't sponsored, I think the project is very cool and I wish more people knew about it.)

    I guess I should've expected something godly like this to come about, considering this chip alone has 16 PSG channels.

      The X16 is not available yet, and won't be for a little while. You can emulate it by googling for the official emulator, and can make music for it by downloading Furnace Tracker

    • @nicco1690

      I'd recommend studying earlier C64 soundtracks (Matt Gray, Rob Hubbard, etc) to see how they do instruments

      ​@@saltedmutton7269 Early SID soundtracks almost never use filters, and since the VERA is very very close to the SID except that it doesn't have a filter, you can easily recreate most C64 instruments on the VERA.
      You can get almost every SID song in the HVSC, and just google for JSIDPlay2 to get a SID player

    8 bit guy just posted a video about his Xixit port. You are apparently responsible for the music conversion. Great job, your conversion sounds better than the original. I downloaded the game and tried it out in the emulator and my take away was that I wanted access to the music. Will you post them here on your channel?

    Sounds like an arcade in stand-by mode, rather than a home PC in game-play mode. Could be a little slower in tempo.

    • @nicco1690
      @nicco1690  2 года назад +4

      The X16 is actually pretty similar to various arcade boards of the 90s, especially because of the included Yamaha YM2151 chip. However, this song only uses the VERA chip, a 16-channel (only 13 are used) hard-panned stereo PSG.
