Testing different tuning systems. 7edo sounds really interesting.

It's apparently really easy to mix up personal taste and opinion with critique. The latter usually implies you understand what you're providing critique on.

Thanks! You guys did great work on this. Looking forward to new DS stuff in the future.

My self-imposed one synth challenges continue. This time I'm using Memos for Decent Sampler by @venustheory.bsky.social and @dhilowitz.bsky.social

I've been meaning to get into Famistudio but there was some weird hickup trying to install it on MacOS. It sounds good, though. I've used either Magical 8-bit or Plogue Chipsounds in the past.

Do you write these in a DAW or a more chiptune-centric software?

Back to learning FMOD. It's a simple cue but I'm starting to get the hang of middleware.

My self-imposed one-synth challenge continues, this time with UAD Opal. This ended up as a lo-fi track with a slight horror theme. Also featuring voice talent from @zyrabisqueravo.bsky.social

Link to full track in comments.

Evening Calm A track made with Nils' K1v, a Kawai K1 emulation, that resembles music from JRPG games of the PS1-era.

Over the years I've accumulated a lot of synths and plugins and most of them have gone unused. I started to challenge myself to make music with them, using only one to make a track. This was made using Nils' K1v, a Kawai K1 emulation. It sounds something out of a PS1 JRPG to me.

I've been relatively inactive here for a while and it has screwed up my feed. I barely see gaming related content but mostly just trending stuff, like current American politics.

It really doesn't. We just have to do our best to ignore it.

Latest blog post now available in Finnish too. I find it important to publish my stuff in both Finnish and English since there is not a lot of content available in Finnish that focuses on game music and music theory,
