Finally Learning How to Make Chiptunes
Supblocks needs a very specific sound, and it’s stuck in my head, and I’m going to have to finally learn how to write mods in order to create it. The garageband plugin I’d been using for sine wave music doesn’t really fit the bill anymore; it sort of crashes a lot and honestly I should just be doing this in a mod tracker, so I am. Currently learning MilkyTracker on OSX, and I might try out a few PC ones soon enough. I’d considered just working in CSound to program all my own sounds but it’s so unforgiving and I’ve honestly forgotten the syntax. It’s actually great to be in a tracker, writing music non-linearly. I’ll post samples once I have the thing I want.
