Very nice.
Maybe in the next version you can add something to allow you to edit the arp speed? That might be a little hard to add in, though. I have no idea.

actually, that wouldn't be hard to add in at all.

the only problem now is figuring out how to edit all of the different things i want to be able to edit considering how few buttons there are. i might make it so when you press start a whole new screen comes up where you can edit all the different stuff like duty cycle, arp speed, etc. we'll see. it's going to be a while before i put out the next version of this program so i'll have a while to figure it all out. thanks for checking it out!

Having a separate screen for editing things would be great! Maybe you could add a feature to where you could construct your own arrangement of chords or something, too? I'd enjoy that a lot

obviously this is still VERY early in the development of this program but i got so many good ideas from people on this board and others that i wanted to share what i've got done of the next step of nintendo chords, which is NINTENDO DRUMS.

download it here - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?echmsojotr9pn5e

eventually, i want it to be a basic drum machine. there will be three rows for the DPCM, Noise, and Triangle channels, and you'll be able to add all sorts of different notes to those. right now, there's only one row (noise) and you can only add one kind of note to it (open hi hat). you'll also be able to change the tempo while the beat's playing back (and obviously when it isn't playing back too).

i want to design this with the beginner and the non-musician in mind. and down the line, i'd like to combine this with my chords program so you can play along to the beats.

edit - i almost forgot to mention that the characters i'm using here are all no carrier's.

Thanks Nick. Nintendo Drums Beta sounds so hectic but I really like it. Keep up the good work!

Also-
I'm using your Nintendo Chords Two in a new song by my band Sexy Androids. I found a great sound by setting it to Arp mode with a 50% Duty cycle, then I changed the timing in Nestopia by setting the speed to the lowest setting. I'm not finished recording everything yet but what I have so far sounds amazing. Thank you!

awesome! the next version of nintendo chords will have a tempo control feature so you can slow it down and speed it up while it's playing back.

It tries to open up like 6 popups every time I visit the site, and the sliding ads just get annoying.

my friend paul just posted this on his blog -

this is an NES controller wired inside a guitar hero controller. Both came from Goodwill a long time ago and I’ve just been waiting for the right inspiration to use them. Then I saw Nintendo Chords by Nick Maynard and it was pretty obvious what had to be done
