Original - Sunsoft Style Boss

[@PostApocolyptica]

The lead varies in Sunsoft music. Often, it is programmed to switch from a 50% to a 12.5% pulse rate ("2 0" is one way of programming it in the Instrument Editor's Duty/Noise), normally echoed by the other Pulse Wave. The echoing wave is normally fined-tuned by one microtone (from |P|8|0| to |P|7|F|). Otherwise, a 12.5% Pulse Rate or a 25% Pulse Rate is used. Vibrato is fast and wide (|4|6|6| vibrato is a good option), so it stands out.

Whoa this is amazing! You've captured the Sunsoft spirit perfectly. I love hearing that first tone and seeing the logo. It brings back so many memories of all those dark, creepy games like Xenophobe, Blaster Master and Fester's Quest.

[@FawltyStudios]

You made this theme? This is an incredible boss theme! Worthy video game material!

[@JsliceQB1026]

this song reminds me of the GBA for some reason. sounds like pokemon emerald

[@leoleonvids]

Well, 0:07 could be the french horn, and 0:17 the trumpets...

[@CodeWeaverCW]

This song is coming in handy during heavy procrastination-induced last-minute work.

[@kvalsternacka]

I can definitely hear where this is inspired from. Good stuff man

[@MrWeirdGuy]

I'm hearing a little bit of Pokemon-style battle theme in there.

This video exemplifies the Sunsoft NES/Famicom chiptune style as explored in my doctoral dissertation titled "Chiptune music: An exploration of compositional techniques as found in Sunsoft games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom from 1988-1992" now available through ProQuest at search.proquest.com/docview/1707933479

+Dr. Christopher Hopkins This stuff can be written about in something like that? Wow, if only I were allowed to do that...

[@Whelkman]

+Dr. Christopher Hopkins 823 pages, holy shit.

[@DrummerDucky]

I thought for sure it was a joke.

[@3dmarth]

@RocMegamanX I'm not quite sure how the lead was done, but the drums are made from noise over top of a triangle that automatically slides down in pitch. The famous Sunsoft bass is DPCM, so you'd have to either record the sound from the game, or just take any decent bass sample from elsewhere.

[@leoleonvids]

I think they made it so that it switches from a 50% square wave to a 12.5% one quickly.

[@LadyMiaow]

Heh, I dig it. This would have been right at home in a Sunsoft title, I'd say. Pretty well done. Not feeling the Pokemon vibe at all, but in my experience, people seem to say that about... pretty much any original composition in an 8-bit style, really.

[@kingpig.gamestudios]

This should have been the Final Boss Theme for Journey to Silius !

[@pokemind]

Man, did you do this from scratch? Because this is awesome! It sound REALLY good ^______^ I'm also a big fan of Sunsoft's music. They did great games with even better music. Naoki Kodaka was the main composer behind most of their games' soundtracks. Well done. I'm going to check now your other original works. Cheers! :)

[@donskiver]

Very impressive work. If I didn't know any better, I would have surely thought this was from some sunsoft game I hadn't played.

[@ckingch]

sounds like a badass boss fight on one of the old Sunsoft Batman games.

[@Vintage9x]

Very good original track. The download link is invalid too.

[@Korgi_Polymer]

Sounds like an even mix of the two , you did a great job, you should make more tracks like this, like if it were the full sound track for a sun soft tittle, think about it :D

[@NeoEveryhobby]

Naoki Kodaka must be proud of this.

[@RocMegamanX]

Too bad that I don't know how to make Sunsoft-style instruments on Famitracker.

[@lrc3847]

Easily applied to the Terminator as the final boss. It would be hard as hell.

[@LuckyBacon]

That's amazing!

[@luiscanamarvega]

Magnificent.

[@3dmarth]

Are you considering putting the NSF up for download? :)

[@psn8bit]

@MrWeirdGuy Funny, someone else said just the same thing a moment ago. Which specific battle theme are you refering to? I can also tell you that I don't think I was inspired by any Pokemon theme. Consciously anyway.

[@tonebank2000]

Sunsoft bass and some of the instruments are sample based. you'd have to get a sunsoft nsf and convert it to ftm to be able to scavenge the samples and then use it. Its impossible to make them using the 2A03 pulse channels

[@Mobius14]

@MrWeirdGuy This is a bit stupid but I can hear this to a fight with the leaders of a Team Past or rival Team Future of some Pokemon game (Magma/Aqua sort of team).

[@randomnerd4600]

sunsoft vibes.

[@ВинсентХаябуса]

Authentic Sunsoft instruments!? You should cover the Batman Gameboy game's music. The whole OST was excellent, but most notably the streets and chemical factory themes.

[@coatlesscarl]

The big 5-0. Well done, sir.

[@shenron02]

hi, do you think you could upload the .nsf or .ftm, this song rocks, I want to do playback on a real NES

[@MrWeirdGuy]

@psn8bit Not really one in specific... it just sounds like it's inspired by the Pokemon style.

[@Pancho927]

Hi, Can i use your original songs for a NES-style game?

[@forple8930]

FTM link is down.

[@pikajade]

Can you do one more inspired by Gimmick?

[@unknownunknownseries2098]

VS. DARK MARK & DARK POKEMON 1 - MARK'S & CO. TWIST 2

[@CoqPwner]

Hey do you have an artist name or something? Feels kinda weird putting Original (or Psn8bit I guess) as the artist for this song on itunes and stuff :P

[@Patatetbk]

CoqPwner U wot m8 ?

[@GreentheGunstar]

-_o Hmm......Whatshisface...uh...Cyrus! Yeah, the battle against the leader of Team Galactic, Cyrus. Yeah, It kinda sounds like that.

[@coatlesscarl]

The most Pokemon-ish part I hear is at 0:41 to 1:02.

[@EYTPS]

Tim Follin should've used Sunsoft bass

[@tobikomi5018]

EYTPS That's a cool thought! Although, the bass would sound weird if the song played at NTSC or PAL and vice versa. If I'm not mistaken, DPCM can take chunks of memory.

[@leoleonvids]

DPCM messes with the volume of the noise and triangle channels, though.

[@leoleonvids]

+Blue I'm pretty sure the MMC5 has enough memory to handle lots of samples.

[@unknownunknownseries2098]

??????(VS. REAL DARK WISTAR - THE WORLD OF DARK WISTAR) - UNKNOWN SERIES: ASSAULT CHALLENGERS 3

[@supermegadrive64]

I was twerkin to da beat!!!...don't ask

[@plutterton]

Konami > Sunsoft

[@plutterton]

(Batman was the bomb tho..)

[@plutterton]

Fair point.
