Stellar Crossroad (Original Composition, 8-Bit, MMC5, 1-N163) [Oscilloscope]

I had an immediate urge to do something original.
This time i also included 1 Namco N163 channel for some more customizable Triangle-Sound to accompany the usual Triangle.
It's something upbeat with some warm touch.

This is amazing!! Your work never disappoints :D

For a minute, I thought this was the NES sound chip but it's got 2 triangle waves and they aren't stepped.

[@musicgardener2142]

well indeed it is the NES's 2a03 soundchip but with Expansion Chips, such as the MMC5 and one channel on the Namco N163 chip.
The Triangle labled "TRI" is the default NES triangle, and i made a custom triangle with the Namco Chip. This way i also have a triangle that can for example vary in volume, which the default Triangle can't.
For no visible steps on the triangle waves i think some kind of interpolation of the video renderer is to blame for that, or maybe i could change someting in the render settings to make the steps better visible. i used a visualizer called "corrscope" for the very first time for this video, and i'm still trying to find the optimal settings.

[@musicgardener2142]

and really if you look close enough, you can still make out the steps. Maybe i should change something about the display resolution of each waveform, so those singular steps become easier to see.

@@musicgardener2142 I see that now. I knew that I could hear the higher harmonics produced by the steps and it was throwing what I thought I knew about waveforms/sounds into question. I've been sort of obsessed with the stepped triangle wave since playing with it in Warioware DIY(it's the yoshi egg "boon-boon" sample). It produces ferocious sound when multiple stepped triangle waves make harmony under the effect of overdrive.

@@GoldenGrenadier if can make the triangle sound quite 'dramatic' if you know what i mean by that. those added harmonics due to low bitrate has its quirks but alas also its charme for sure!
