Three years into mobile nanoloop and I'm still learning new techniques
There's more you can do with the gb version inside the program. If you want a traditional sound, stick to the original
Being extremely limited on the amount of patterns you can use in mobile requires a lot of creativity
The strength of mobile compaired to gb to me comes from sampling. There is a whole world to explore there that gb can't touch
Also sweet, sweet extratone

tl;dr GB if you want to make chip that people recognize, mobile if you want to explore with sampling with chip
I can send you some example files of .savs I've been working on
but, ultimately, make what sounds cool to you! Get the GBA cart if that's the sound you like!

Well so far I like mostly just using the default sounds on the android version, but it does feel pretty limited and minimal. Finished one song and uploaded it on the site smile

Since you already have the mobile version I'd suggest toying with that for a while. There's a demo ROM for nanoloop 2 I think, you could try that too.

Oh ok. Yeah maybe I just need to learn the program more.

Well so far I've only tried to use samples once, and so far only the addition of one sample. So far I haven't even used all the channels on any song, though I've only finished one song so far. I guess I'm just curious about the gba version since I heard some cooler music made on that big_smile

That's entirely an opinion thing. Neither is better.

Heh thought someone might say that. Chord mode sounds interesting.

I only have the android version of nanoloop. After hearing some tracks from little-scale, I'm starting to wonder if the gba version of nanoloop is more superior?

I was trying to get as close to the original as possible while leaving out things I couldn't put like the pads/drones. Hmm good point about the drums. Yeah I was trying to figure out volume in the tables and also the Exx command, I didn't quite get it so I decided not to fool with it. Wasn't sure if they operated like velocity in trackers like sunvox or what.

I tried to make a gameboy version of the Metroid Prime level music for Phendrana Drifts. This would be my first cover song, well that's not necessarily true (some short zelda loops), but this is the first time I went through a whole song.

The choir melody section and the piano solo bits and a little after that probably doesn't have quite all the right notes and maybe some timing issues.

The song is kind of hard to do right without that sense of atmosphere that's in the original. I grabbed a video from youtube and listened to the song every now and again and tried to get the notes by listening through several times (I just play by ear).

Hopefully I don't murder anyone's ears. Here it is: https://db.tt/nBG90FYY
Ignore the small sound at the beginning before anything really starts, I recorded it with audacity on an emulator and I'm not sure why it did that.

I just found out about this a few days ago when I asked on irc. If you don't have a genesis, what's the recommended emulator to use (preferably one that works on retroarch so I can use it on my phone too)?

Didn't know that, I haven't gotten a song quite done yet on goattracker, though it's close to being done. I left the default 6581 chip setting on goattracker yikes

Is it better to use on an emulator if you don't own a C64? I was going to keep using either goat tracker or deflemask.

This is a pretty long tutorial on the Milkytracker site describing how to make chiptunes. Now, I honestly haven't read that far into it myself, but I would assume that it would be pretty helpful, regardless of whether you're making chips or not.

Alright, I'll check that out.
