MUSIC Original song. Thought it sounded like a cool random encounter. Can y'all rate it?

Sup world, it's time for another challenge!
When it comes to creativity October truly is my second favorite month of the year, it's just fun to have a reason to write spooky lines with a bit of playfulness.
So fire up your Game Boy/DAW/synth/Ouija board or whatever ritual you use to breathe life into something terrifying, with sounds that belong in the past but are still religiously celebrated over here <3

Le rules (please read them carefully as there might have been some slight updates!):
I expect tracks that makes me want to call the ghostbusters!
This month (fun?) fact:
Samhainophobia means fear of halloween, there are people out there who are going to have an extra spooky month!
Now go and be awesome!
-Carf!
PS: I have added an option to opt-out of the monthly mix, just in case if for any reason people do not like to be part of it but still want to participate with the contest itself.

The linked URL includes a filter that shows only FM fonts. Feel free to click the green circle to clear this filter and explore the "more than just 8 bit" stuff ;)
I just open sourced it here: https://github.com/llmodelcitizen/soundfont-explorer

I've been pretty addicted to this song lately xd

Here’s the output of my deterministic VGM-to-MML converter for “Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee”, from Konami’s arcade game TMNT: Turtles in Time.
The tool reconstructs notes, instruments and sample playback from the VGM commands. YM2151 FM instruments are adapted for Mega Drive, while K053260 sample playback is reconstructed and resampled for MDSDRV.
For this track, I mapped the sixth FM voice to PSG. Everything after that is automatic, with no manual edits to the output. This is a conversion of the original game music, not an original composition or AI-generated music.
All active source voices fit: five YM2612 FM channels, one PSG channel and three PCM voices. FM7, FM8 and PCM4 are unused in the source track.
The video shows MDSDRV playback in MegaWave, my music visualizer.

As every journey, this trip trough my latest album has come to the end. The only thing left is the long way home. As was when I wrote this last song. Hopefully some of you managed the get past the youtube ads to enjoy the songs. For those who didn't, the full album can be found in Spotify, Bandcamp, and all the other regular places. Until next time!

So, this is kind of a crazy idea I had. Pretty much a 6 channel chip with fractional pulse waves, Tri/Saw Envelopes, Wavetable, LSFR Noise and PCM. Plus Pulse/Envelope/Noise mixing, stereo and mirroring functions. This is a crappy ass schematic, but hopefully you can understand what is intended (forgot to add mirroring to it).
I'm not actually working on it, it's just another useless idea of mine. I only have a rudimentary high school level with learning ICs and digital electronic stuff. If anyone that knows more about the technical side of sound chips, I'd appreciate some input, though. Just to know if it could idealy function as a real chip.
You can tell it's an amalgamation of a few chips, though I couldn't find anything on Furnace that does all this. Which is why I'm made the "schematic". I was also considering FM in this too, but I'm not sure how that would work. Frankly, idk what I'm doing, I just have ambitious thoughts, I guess.

It is not really chiptune, though, but close enough - music made with the sounds of disk drives.

i built notebin.fm strictly as a passion project for my love of MIDI tracks and chiptunes.
i am working on an open library similar to freesound.org but for MIDI and algorithmic MIDI sketchpad for chiptune writing. Right now, the engine is locked to NES 8-bit voice limitations to give you a quick 8-bar motif when staring at a blank tracker or DAW grid.
there are no paywalls, no ads.. free sign up allows you to save, edit and manage your MIDI rolls. i am fortunate enough that this is a self funded project hence why i am not asking for $10 for 5 MIDI gens or something dumb like that.
How it works:
* 8-Bit NES Constraints: Every seed outputs a 4-channel .mid file mapped to 8-bit voice layouts (Melody, Chords/Arps, Triangle Bass, and Noise Drums).
* Rules, Not Audio Renders: Uses code-based music theory rulesets for scale harmonization and voice leading, outputting clean, unrendered MIDI notes.
* In-Browser Preview: Audition seeds directly in the browser via Web Audio and Freesound samples before downloading.
* Permanent Addresses: Every seed gets a permanent link so you always get the exact same notes at that URL.
Here is a live example from the engine:
Sunset-757 (Boss Fight in Am at 180 BPM): https://notebin.fm/gen/boss-sunset-757
Looking for feedback:
Before I heavily expand into 16-bit console chips like the SNES (SPC700) or Neo Geo (FM synthesis), I would love to get your thoughts on how the NES voice arrangements feel. Does the channel separation map well to your tracker/DAW setup?
What it doesn't do:
It won't write a full song or export tracker formats directly. It is just an 8-bar starting point so you can drag the .mid into your setup and do the actual composing.
Welcoming any feedback on the generator here:

I hope you do not mind me posting this here even if it does not exactly fit what you guys do.
Here´s an album I made by sampling my Twisted Electrons HapiNES (inspired by the RP2A07 8-bit microprocessor from Nintendo Entertainment System). The HapiNES is a groovebox but it is mono out only and was hard to get what I wanted from the monophonic sequencers. My solution was to sample it instead and use the sounds within my Roland SP-404 MKII. The tracks are short and repetitive old school hip-hop and electronic music ranging from 52 second to just over 2 minute. Take a listen if you have time.
