What if the VRC7 was way better than it is? (Furnace tracker) [Read description]

- Have you every wondered what if the VRC7 was better than it is? Well, i decided to make this little concept using furnace, i "enchanced" the VRC7 by adding 2 extra channels, stereo, multiple custom patches (there are the build in ones of course) and that's it. I hope you enjoy this kinda weird concept i made. (The magic behind it is 8 x VRC7 chips wich each one is used for one channel) also this shows a little bit how furnace looks like.
I didn't expected that you would use 9x VRC7's to get a result like this.
But good as always.😄👍🏻
How did you get it to show names up to FM 9? I was expecting to see "FM 1" 9 times, not see numbers up to FM9... have you just done a hackjob of 9 YM2413 chips and took one channel from each and turned on custom patch mode?
i can change the name of each channel
also yes each VRC7 chip was used as 1 channel (it didn't work with 9 x YM2413 because of the 63 channel limitation that furnace has)
@@YgorG That's right. You can only do up to 7 x YM2413, which coincidentally counts as 63 channels exactly.
@@kenshirotakahashi i did that but i wanted to have 8 instead
It's songs like this that make me wonder... will there ever be a video game making engine that will allow such amazing songs like this? I know NES Maker exists and all, but the songs there can't compare to the ones in Furnace Tracker. Not that they need to.
hmm
Well, thanks to HD packs for NES games included as a feature in some emulators, we don’t have to worry about the limits of real hardware, since we can just play whatever music we want.
Now, if you’re talking about doing this on actual hardware, then it’s going to be much harder, but still possible. It’d be very difficult, but you could potentially create a mapping chip that includes an OPL2 sound chip that could replicate the music you’re listening to here.
@@8squared007 What makes it difficult to make a mapping chip that includes an OPL2 sound chip?
@@maxthompson7107 Well…you need to make a mapping chip first. At the bare minimum, that would involve programming hypothetical new hardware for a 41 year old console, which is where a lot of the problems stem from.
@@8squared007 So in short, unless you're a programming wiz, it's best to just stick with what Famitracker gives you.
Eh, Famitracker has a lot of tools to work with anyway. We already have a version that allows you to use all 6 expansion chips.
Ym2413 With Drum mode only 6 channels instruments in fm and 4 channel for drum mode. Ym2413 without that was 9 fm channels same as vcr7 as famicom.
You're a legend!
Its sounds beautifull ;)
Wait…
WHERE’S FM4!?
me when ._.
done! i fixed the description
sounds great
ABSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS
Nice VRC7 Furnace tune!😄🤩😎👌 How did you manage to get 9 channel and multiple custom patches, when the VRC7 doesn’t support any of those?
i used 1 VRC7 for each voice since the VRC7 has only 6 channels i could have used 6 x VRC7 but i decided to use 9 x VRC7 for each voice instead plus furnace allows you to change the panning of each chip (each chip is doing one channel so each "channel" can have an different panning)
lemme explain in a nutshell (easier to understand) so the VRC7 has 6 voices and it can produce only 1 custom patch at a time so if you have 2 x VRC7 chips each one can produce a cusom patch (2 at the same time one from the 1st VRC7 and the second from the 2nd VRC7) and since i wanted to have 9 channels i used 9 x VRC7 chips (one for each voice to get multiple custom patches and full stereo) (more easier to understand ig)
Cool, so you used 9 VRC7 sound chips!😄🤩😎👌 Hiw did you hide the other VRC7 channels?
@@ashkirby8896 at window > channels (it was there that i also renamed the channels)
if you want i can give you an template of this 9 x VRC7 thing (requires dev63 version of furnace)
... this is just a genisis.
You recreated a sega genisis.
Well, actually no. Combining several VRC7 chips together actually would be the same thing as an OPL2.
how'd you make the VRC7s look like one channel
So cool
What system/chip did you select as the basis? All FM chips in Furnace are OPM or OPN, while the VRC7 is based on OPL... or maybe I am missing something.
i used the VRC7 chip wich is now implemented on furnace ( be sure that you are using a version above 0.5.8 like dev83 wich you can find here tildearrow.org/storage/furnace/unstable/furnace-dev83-13-g11516d7-win64.zip )
@@YgorG Thanks! So as of now OPL chips are only in unstable releases, but hopefully soon included in 0.6, right?
@@giacomovalenti8619 yes
just out of curiousity, where is the .fur file available for downloading? :o)
but it's what we call dualopl2😄😂
bruh dual OPL2 would have 18 channels
Isn't this called a, OPL2?
Kind of, but I would say that it is even more limited, becoming it's own thing.
So this is just an OPL1?
no since it has one extra waveform and 15 presets it's kinda different
@@YgorG So it's still a worse OPL2
@@iyatemu yeah
it's is own thing
I am curious to how you got drums to work in a VRC7 FM channel. While its settings have a drum patch, I was not able to get it to make sounds on that patch when writing my own project. I'm using 0.6.1, if that detail helps.
Thank you in advance.
i used custom presets for the drums
@@YgorG Fair enough, all the more reason for me to practice making my own instruments. Thanks!
