Hello, I've recently been getting into Famitracker and other sequencers like Renoise. When I watch these music videos I'm astonished by the complexity of your songs such a sense of emotion! But when I try to analysis your music I'm left confused since it looks like you're using all the keys on the piano and not a harmonic scale (I'm new to music theory). It's the same for a lot of Famitracker videos I watch. Do you use a scale for your tracks? If not, how do you start a composition with so much possible outcomes? Also, can't wait to see more from you!
I use the major and natural minor scales on pretty much on every track I make, I recommend using those and just improvising on them a lot. You get used to them after a while and composing/improvising becomes second nature. The first half of this track starts on the key of F minor (most of it being in the relative major key of G#), and modulates into G# minor halfway through. Studying music theory is a great way to understand all of this. I never really studied it, instead I just played around and figured out what sounds good and what doesn't, and later started connecting the dots with actual music theory. The circle of fifths is a pretty important thing to learn in order to better understand the relationships between pitches and for building chords / relative keys and whatnot. Also, thanks! I'll (hopefully) be uploading more music soon. Make sure to check out my bandcamp and soundcloud for more music!

This should be universe’s national anthem
Found this on a playlist called "The True Best of FamiTracker" and I wholeheartedly agree 💯💯💯
So happy to have found this channel. Probably my favorite chiptune tracker to listen to.
This is so beautiful. Seriously, your songs often (especially lately) have made me think of endgame RPG songs. I mean that in the best way possible.
This is AMAZINGGG
0:42 that moment is super awesome! Can't quite put my finger on it
It's amazing how .ftm files are literally 1000x smaller than most rendered sound files such as wav and mp3
i remember when i watched your cotton alley hard and very hard videos
great as always, sir
it brings joy to my soul
love it
This song really is pleasant to listen to. Maybe I should try making more laid back tracks...
Nice
