Hello everybody
This is my first post in this forum, so first of all, I'd like to say 'hello' to all the
megadrivers here
Well, I'm a lot into chiptune writing stuff (making music with old sound chips) and as the Mega Drive is one of my favourite game systems ever, I've been looking for software for creating music on it.
I think a tracker would be a great tool for making smd music. I've been composing things in famitracker (a tracker for NES) and it works real great.
In SMD things would work in a pretty similar way: ten channels (six for the yamaha chip and the other four for the texas instrument's) and an instrument editor VOPM-alike. A .GYM (or similar) exporter would be great too.
Right now, the most "real" way that I've found for making music for the SMD is using MML. It's funny the fact that before existing Famitracker, everybody used MML+MCK for composing for NES.
I've seen also a program called "noise machine", but its interface is not friendly usable at all, so I didn't even give it a try...
