Do you prefer the electro-metallic feel of FM or the more realistic samples of PCM, /vr/?
I swear to fucking god, if this is a genesis vs snes thread in disguise

It has to be, considering there are other types of sound than just the two methods that those two consoles just happen to be known for.

That track really doesn't do the SID justice, this does though:

Try this.
I pick.... both.

VRC6 is also good. FM is still my favorite though.

What are some 90s RPGs with nice MIDI music? Like Daggerfall and such.
I like Wavetable

Make sure you enable Roland in the sound configuration; which is a separate executable from the main game. I'm usually more of an FM fan, but American composers never got the hang of it, and midi almost always sounds better in American games.
>>3300072
Why not both?

NG is like 99.99% sample.
only very early games use a sizable amount of FM/PSG, and later games only use PSG for insert coin.

a sound chip thread that isn't shitposting? I like this alot.
On topic: I do like me some good FM tunes like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTQIiIKummw
C-64's SID, SNES' S-SMP, and the NES' sound systems were pretty good as well.

FM > PSG > Wavetable > PCM
If I wanna listen to real instruments, I'll go put on some Bach, not a videogame.
Retro games should have their unique sound, rather than try to sound "realistic".

Do you mean sample based synth against actuall full recordings of songs? Because wavetable synth = pcm synth.

That version isn't any better than the original version anyway.
>>3306640
yeah, it's a pretty shit chip, but still was the best music that came out of the nes, along with sunsoft's chip
>>3306650
there are like 2 songs that anyone even remembers from lagrange point.
and the sunsoft chip itself was crap and the worst expansion chip in terms of sound.
in terms of the music made on it the vrc6 wins and it's not even close.
>>3306741
just a really autistic name
I mean, "great moments in fm synthesis"?
>>3307256
I think it's just a series of videos that guy uploaded with his favorite FM synthesis tracks.
It's probably more autistic to complain about it Anon, but then again if we're in a mandarin darpa board exchanging notes on ancient bleep bloops who are we really to pass judgement on autismal traits.
>>3307269
well he picked some shitty "fm synth moments"
>>3300329
MIDI can be either wavetable or FM synthesis though, it's only a format to pass notes and other shit around to the synth.
Example: Adlib is FM synth, but later PC sound cards used wavetable for MIDI.
>>3305138
... so it's basically PCM synth except that it stores shorter samples and uses them in lieu of FM waveforms?
Here's what good sounding FM synth means to me:

I prefer the VRC6 too, but c'mon, Lagrange Point's got a bunch of good (and great) compositions.

Hayashi's only amateurish soundtrack from that period IIRC was Sonic Boom, which has a cool Stage 3/5 theme: https://vgmrips.net/packs/pack/sonic-boom-sega-system-16b

Maybe not shitty, but not good enough to call them great moments in FM synth.
Gotta love the Monster World series.
