  a nes chiptune disk by virt

  with special bonus track - classical favourites vol.II !!

  -----------------

  these tunes are all part of a single imaginary

  game. picture castlevania meets gargoyle''s quest to

  explain the baroque / cockrock hybrid. everything

  does S3M well these days, so don''t sweat the player.

  i''m imitating the third-gen (post ~1988) konami

  sound engine (i stole their dpcm kick and noise snare)

  so this does sound mainly like them :D however i''ve

  broken a couple of the konami rules - used a bit

  of chord arpeggio, which they didn''t use.

  furthermore the tri wave has volume data.. a no-no,

  so it''s not 100% nes accurate. furthermore i represent

  the konami snare as a sample even though it''s generated

  by the noise channel on the nes.. in all songs except

  zzap the sample is at least played in the noise channel..

  the issue with white noise in a mod is that, as a sample,

  it is lacking all of the delicious randomness and the

  pseudo-phasing from the original noise. similarly the

  tri-wave has none of that great aliasing in lower registers.

  oh well, maybe i''ll follow through with my half-quest

  to learn 6502asm :D

  here''s the order in which you should play them (they segue)

  1) drac

  2) bewm

  3) waow

  4) bzam

  5) zzap

  there we have it. hope you enjoy :)
