I have a commission to do some Sega Genesis/Mega Drive chiptune work that I'd not done before in a paid capacity and I'd like to figure out how to modulate pitch (vibrato) organically with these two major Genesis/MD VSTs using MIDI CC and automation.

The only way I've found to do it with Genny is to hold notes above C8, but all the LFO speeds on these keys are bizarre, inflexible and pretty much useless.

VOPM works SLIGHTLY better, it will respond to CC automation, but the only way I've found for it to do that are a complicated series of multiple sliders and settings, and even then it's like Genny where the vibrato doesn't sound anything like vibrating pitch that would actually be used in a ym2612 production; it's so sensitive to speed and pitch range that, again, it's pretty much useless.

With Genesis/MD chiptunes having heavy vibrato in its sounds being such a huge foundation of its sound, it floors me these two VSTs would not make it simpler to accomplish something many other VSTs and synths do just assigning it to CC1. Other people using it seem to have achieved it ok from what I've observed, so I ask here what I'm missing or how to do it properly.

For further reference: my DAW is FL Studio 11 and for technical limitations, that's the newest version I can use without problems right now (I took this commission to get funds to fix these technical liminations).

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Anybody know if there's a way to convert .vgm to .uge on mobile?

Are there any trackers for Raspberry Pi?

Does anyone know where I can find the song Sonofa by Doomsberry? Tried looking for it after hearing on the chiptune radio on youtube and can't find it anywhere.

I freaking adore Miracle Tone's Fantasy by Kohu, and there's also a few tracks I've heard from The Quick Brown Fox that kinda fits this description.

But I need more! Sugary-sweet happy hardcore with chiptune synths sounds like a combination that goes together like peanut butter and chocolate, but sadly I don't have enough of this in my life. 😔

Do you have any recs for awesome happy hardcore with 8-Bit bleeps and bloops?

Been making psytrance for a couple of years now... but recently discovered keygen music or chiptunes.... how do i make it within the DAW that i am familiar with .

I just recently purchased a new handheld music-making device that is an all-in-one sampler, sequencer, etc. Before I try to manually recreate any given chip's waveforms based on whatever specs I can find, I wanted to first check and see if anyone else had done such a thing and exported the result as individual WAV-based sound files.

I'm also more than happy to pay for such sound packs or services (ex. Splice).

Thank you for any advice/recommendations!
