Oops, all expansions! 2A03 + VRC6 + VRC7 + FDS + MMC5 + N163(4ch) + 5B, only to use exclusively square(-ish) waves (19 channels of square waves, that's too many squares). Made in Dn-FT v0.5.0.2, mainly so I can (ab)use the chip mixer.

Very cool idea to use 19 channels of square waves!! I might have to borrow that idea if there's ever another Fami+ battle...

Lovely tune, relaxing and contemplative, feels kinda like a cozy night song to me. Love the soulful detuned bass line especially.

Turns out I can't count, it's actually 20 channels:
- 2 on 2A03
- 2 on VRC6
- 6 on VRC7 (2:1 2-op FM "square")
- 1 on FDS (square wavetables, but pretty heavily lowpassed)
- 2 on MMC5
- 4 on N163
- 3 on 5B

Glad you liked the idea, I figured it'd be a stupid silly idea, but at least endearingly so!

The detuned bass I'm pretty sure I subconsciously picked up from the Gimmick! Stage 7 theme intro
- gotta appreciate the low registers of the 5B and the phasey/chorus effect. The bassline is just going up 5ths twice and going from there and is something I've also shamelessly stolen picked up from Chrono Trigger (e.g. Wind Scene
, Secret of the Forest
). It sounds so simple yet so good... (almost afraid of using it too much lol)

this is a very creative idea to use all the expansions in an immediately thematic/cohesive way! such a lush sound from all of the channel availability... delays and vibratos and detunes yum!

Hey, if you squint hard enough the FDS square can kind of look vaguely triangley.

...so at least a 2 in triangulation?
