So many other videos are amazing as well. I am blown away. https://www.linusakesson.net/music/vivaldi-summer-presto/ind... https://www.linusakesson.net/music/withering-bytes/index.php | ||||||||||||||

This was great. I always recommend watching his old Chipophone video (homemade 8-bit synthesizer from a repurposed old electronic organ). He has made many cool instruments since. Some of which maybe more tehcnically impressive, I can't tell. But this one is probably still on my all time top 10 "most enjoyment from watching a Youtube video" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pchpDD5EU Such cool sounds and he plays it well! | ||||||||||||||

For those who want to try it out, you can also access these sounds in a somewhat easier way by using an NES audio emulator in your favorite DAW, or by using one of the various tracker programs: | ||||||||||||||

Seems like a homebrew program that uses the Miracle Piano would be a lot nicer to use than a Famicom keyboard. | ||||||||||||||

I am a fan of these Famicom/NES synthesized sounds, they have a flavor that is rarely found in modern game music. There are a few musicians who does rearrangements of songs for playback on the Famicom, example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM3bYVt-c1k Original song: | ||||||||||||||

IMO: Play the second video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gds1EeQGMaQ&t=166s) for a few seconds, and observe when Linus plays with the Japanese Famicom keyboard. It'll give you a good idea for what he's making. (The music video is also really cool.) | ||||||||||||||

Super cool, and I also love how this page has text and still-image content equivalent to what's said and shown in the video. | ||||||||||||||

This is the nerdiest, hackeriest thing I've seen in ages, and I love every moment of it. That was brilliant. |
