Screencasting isnt quite as tricky as I expected. First video is up! It doesn't get into FM but it explains a few concepts and does some ground work for envelopes. I was just about to start part to but life intervened. More stuff coming.

To you mean reverse engineering by ear or by ear or when you have the settings for the algorithms and stuff?

Re: VGM Music Maker - a Sega Genesis tracker (174 replies, posted in Sega)
I didnt think of just using new. That is totally simple. I have a quick question, sorry if you answered this before. For TL and SL why is the loudest volume 0 and the quietest volume 127? it seems backwards to me!

Ok, I am officially inspired by everyone's responses to this! I am going to start working on videos. Once I get a good screencasting / voice recording set up I will start churning them out.

Re: VGM Music Maker - a Sega Genesis tracker (174 replies, posted in Sega)
I have a couple of quick feature requests!
- is it possible to have a "reset all operator settings" in the instrument screen?
- When I am making sounds, i often drop the TL to 0 so I can hear what individual operators are doing. would it be possible to have a "mute operator" button like the old 4op yamaha synths had? this would be great as it would be a little faster and i wouldnt need to reset my TL each time.
Thanks!

Topic: FM Synthesis video tutorials (80 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
I have started a series of FM synthesis tutorial videos. yay me!
Pt1 - Envelopes
Pt2 - Carriers & Modulators & a basic kick drum
Pt3 - Feedback / Hi Hats
Pt4 - Decay Rate / Sustain Level
Upcoming stuff
- multipliers
- operators/snares
- Better percussion
- Faking filters
- different algorithms and why yamaha are a pain in the arse.
If you have any questions, ideas, corrections, requests, let me know.
I got loads of information on FM from
This talk by virt.
Little-scales excellent doumentation for the MD interface.
The sadly defunct Soundshock boards.
Shiru's VGM maker and its manual.
Louis Gorenfeld's getting started with FM
This Sonicstate video
Original Post:
A while back I did a little tutorial series on Nanoloop 2.3 tutorial series on the youtubes which people seemed to think was pretty helpful. I found it fun an educational and I have been thinking about doing another one on FM synthesis, partly cause i want to learn more about it and partly because there are some exciting new and upcoming FM tools about (gimic, little-scales MD interface, VGM Maker, Deflmask).
A lot of the information i have found on the internet about FM synthesis seems either "just experiment" at one end or "hardcore math" at the other. Not much in the "I want to make a kick drum, where do i start?" area. So, would people be up for this or is it a bit too niche?
I am about to move house so I probably won't start on this for a month and I am not a Hizmi, Alex mauer, utabi, virt level genius by any means at all but I might be able to help some people out!

Re: If you could attend only ONE VGM or chip related event... (18 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Magfest and blip seem awesome but very different events. I have been to a few blips but much to my shame not a single magfest....
Blip is pretty focused on chipmusic, you could go a whole day at blip without hearing a single VGM cover, there might be chip music centric workshops but no LANs/gamingrooms, famous game people. Magfest seems to cast a much wider net, looks like they have famous game people speaking, games, LANs and a heavy emphasis on video game music. Also I think Magfest is a bit bigger?
Both sound like awesome events, I guess it comes down to what you are into.
