ChipMusic.org / Forums / Constructive Criticism / What should I do with the pulse channels in this song?

I made this yesterday and I'd really love to know what I can improve.
I think my pulse channels are lacking most of the time and I lean on the same wave instruments too much.

yeah when in doubt do an octave/fifth unison with the wav
i've achieved cool sounds with fast duty cycle modulation and vibrato
like, the first ten seconds of this is a single pulse channel with fast, heavy vibrato and PWM

That song is fucking win.
yes but let's talk about dire hit's song!
i think the more minimal pulse channel work actually serves it really well, the raspy little echoes in the background work really nice with the tuned noise hits. maybe a noise/pulse unison would sound better than a wave/pulse unison. i dunno!
I've been mostly using pulse channels for stereo, but I don't know what I should do in addition.
Could add some zappy sounds with a table that goes like vff, vef, vdf,vcf,vbf,vaf and so on...
Really though I don't think it needs anything else, adding something just for the sake of not having empty channels might just ruin it.
I think it sounds pretty good, my only thought would be maybe some plucked notes, like an Envelope of 73 and add a lot of vibrato in the table. But really I like it a lot how it is.
