Teaser + Neil Baldwin. Best Wednesday ever!
Very cool and totally different way to use the nes channels. Right on!
Wow!! That looks even more interesting than SMMM, which was also awesome BTW!
This looks rad and the interface looks clean and intuitive ! 
My ambition to make a SUNN O))) NES cover band is one step closer!

See I'm not the only one who thought of Sunn O)))
Dooooo it!
Just need to find some time to tidy up the editor a bit and then I really need to optimise the synthesis loop more.
Regarding the sequencer: it is only a 'gate' sequencer at the moment meaning you can use it to sequence the amplitude of each voice. There are 3 gate shapes: square (turns the voice on), ramp up (ramps the amplitude up) and ramp down (yeah, you guessed it).
Even though it's not sequencing any actual synthesis data it is quite flexible: each track has it's own length (1 - 16 steps) and speed and (in the case of ramp up/down steps) gate length. There's also a 'sync tracks' button so you can program up little polyrhythms and stuff.
I've a few ideas of how to implement simple 'parameter locks' and had a prototype working but the issue I have is with representing 16-bit data (for the LFO speeds, for example) in a meaningful way with minimal screen updating and minimal screen real estate.
droNES is not really about sequencing though, the clue is in the name

Spent a bit more time on droNES and put up a new video:

Main changes are that the sequencer now is able to target parameters of the synthesis instead of just being an amplitude/gate sequencer.
