Made with Dn-Famitracker, using the 2A03 (regular chip of the NES) and the expansion chip Namco 163 (N163).

CHANNELS
I chose not to use the DPCM channel, I didn't use the Triangle channel either as it was to loud compared to my Namco instruments (and I already had a sufficient number of channels). I set the number of N163 channels to 5, although most of the time only 3 or 4 are used simultaneously.

It's both the first time I make a track this long and I use expansion chips. I'm very interested in any tip or feedback!

hey! this is pretty, and i like the subdued mood of the piece

since you requested feedback -- one thing that stands out to me is wanting more shaping on all the held tones (for example the pulse channel melody). more volume decays (or swells) help a lot, but also some vibrato here and there, maybe some pitch bends if you feel it fits. they can all make the sounds feel less static and unchanging. some of the n163 sounds do have a nice, piano-like decay, i liked those ones! that's what i think this could benefit from the most

still - i liked it, congrats on your first major entry!

almost meditative qualities of piano/bass - and the sax solo does not give a fuck ;)

lol if there's one thing I've learned from lurking the comments on the entries, it's that @Damifortune LOVES shaping on held tones ;)
