VGM Music Maker

Not very useful for SMS scene, since there are no drivers for the consoles implemented yet, but anyway - another way to make SN76489 music.
VGM Music Maker v1.1 Please note that filename changes with every version, so if you want to repost, link this page instead, VGM MM is at the top of the page. If you have problems with opening help.chm, read this. |

The integrated player isn't working for me (Vista 32-bit). It plays at a way too low tempo/pitch. If I export to .vgm and play it with winamp/in_vgm it sounds correct (or so I assume). | |

Set up sound buffers amount and size in the Preferences. It is rather typical thing for sound software. | |

Ok. 4*8192 works. Except that the PSG channels in the demo song are completely silent. | |

Have no idea why, it works for me on two computers, and so far I had no such a report. There are problems found with PSG in the instruments editor, though. | |

I want to report an emulation bug in the YM2612. (blame the MAME Team)
Open the attached vgi instrument and play a G# or A (works on all octaves, but I recommend octave 5) and you'll hear what I mean. You can fix this if search the line int kc = (blk<<2>> 7]; in fm2612.c and replace the >> 7 with >> 8. (do this 2 times)
It's one of the bugs I had to fix in VGMPlay a year ago, so I know this bug. (btw: it's correct in fm.c) |

Hi Shiru I am totally impressed with this, I have been looking for someone to make one of these for a long time!
One serious question -- I am unfamiliar with creating music with a tracker - I am more used to reason oir fruityloops -- so how is it that I am supposed to compose a track with it? what is the general workflow to create a track like trinitron sunset? I have a maudio usb midi keyboard I already use with the sequencer in reason - how to I apply what I have and know to create a track with a tracker? Also loads of fun, I loaded up the groovmaster demo and used my mouse holding down on the piano keys and did "guitar solos" with my mouse over the top of the octave ladder for 15 minutes hahaha very fun!!! LOVING YOUR APP!!!!!111! :-) ALSO - is there a way to import vgm to this???!! I have to know!!!!!!! NOW!!! haha |

I can't teach how to use a tracker, sorry. There is a lot of information around.
Check for basic knowledge in wikipedia article. Check this video tutorial for VGM MM specifically. MIDI keyboard is not necessary or even useful to use a tracker. Trackers generally aren't designed to record live play in realtime. You can use MIDI keyboard to test instruments and to check ideas, but for entering notes into a track normal computer keyboard works much better. No VGM import and it is not planned. It just can't give good results. It would be kinda like WAV import into MIDI sequencer. |
