Okay, I know you have definitely blamed the music in some of the
Hummer Team's games and thought you could do better, right?
Right? Oh, please, don't hide your eyes away, I know you do. And now, you can actually replicate the way
Hummer Cheng's engine sounds with the help of
FamiTracker!
Well, let's see whether you can do better with this instrument set.
I compiled this load of crap when I was bored, just as usual. And when I had a magical FamiTracker-based utility called
NSF Import which allowed to see what notes, what volumes and what effects the song uses. According to the data it gives when I feed the utility with Hummer NSFs of different ages, I made what you can download below. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to transplant the tracker-based pitch onto the instrument window, so these are not 100% accurate, but will that really bother you. Not to mention that what I give you is not a complete collection (yet), but probably the most exploited part of it.
The triangle drums, in turn, were stolen from
Conbon/KingPepe's collection, without his permission, obviously enough :pandaaway:
Nothing much I have to comment on how to use these, you can pretty much look at the examples or listen to the actual Hummer NSFs channel-by-channel. One thing I would suggest is that triangle drums were mostly used in fighting games where the noise channel is a place for punch/kick sound effects (the only exception from this rule I know:
Ture Mortal Kombat 3 and its' Soul Chamber stage). Oh, and one more: if you're going to import the results into
Famitone sound engine like I did, then make sure you don't put volumes or effects into the tracker's window and don't go farther than C-1 or B-5.
The Examples folder includes a cover of
A Background To History Part 4 by
Monty Python (with sources and the track compiled into
Famitone demo program) and
Dick Dale's famous rendition of
Misirlou (with sources only thanks to the goddamn octave range).
That's all, have fun!
