WOW MAN!

Something I've been thinking about for a while so I thought I'd see if there'd be any interest in it.

I've got some cool ideas on how to make quite a smart drum machine on the NES. It would be a 16-step (or less) pattern based thing with simple song structure (just a string of patterns with a repeat count). The cool thing is that on each step you will be able to assign settings for all five NES voices and also on each step you'll be able to modify parameters such as envelope, amplitude, duty, pitch sweep, (simple) table etc. for all five voices simultaneously.

What do you think - any interest?

Absolutely (especially if there's sample importing)  heart

I second that.

Is there anyway to have it as a side-function, built into PNES? Maybe have it automatically placed as notes on the tracker grid?

Just brainstorming here...

I certainly would use this a lot, considering Christmas is around the corner and I plan on getting a Powerpak.  Having all voices and sample drums would be amazing.  Custom samples would be the miracles too.

No, it would be a stand-alone dedicated beat maker.

I have no other technical details yet but I've worked a few bits out on paper. I really need to concentrate on Pulsar though first LOL

I believe this program should be called "your nuts".

PNES + your nuts = ????

Hello everyone! This is my first post and I've only used NTRQ for the first time last night! I'd just like to say that I caught myself thinking this morning about how a drum machine working in the same fashion as NTRQ would be awesome so I'm very glad to read this post today smile
