Description
Hi! This is a recreation of the Route 113 theme from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, made in Furnace Tracker. It's my first time using this tracker, I heard about it recently and was really looking forward to trying it out, since it can emulate a lot of chips and combine them with each other, which is amazing.
I have tried to recreate the sound of a Game Boy Advance as faithfully as possible (by combining low-quality samples and the 4 original Game Boy chiptune channels), so you could say this submission is a Game Boy Advance recreation of a Game Boy Advance song, made from scratch using different instrumentation.
For this, I've used public domain samples exclusively. Compiling, trimming and looping the samples has actually taken much, much longer than the song itself, I spent a few weeks doing it - the thing is, in order to make retro music, people often resort to using not-entirely-legal samples taken from copyrighted games, and I thought it would be useful if I created an instrument compilation that was entirely CC-0, no strings attached and legal, for me and other people to use in Furnace Tracker. So I've used this jam as an excuse to prepare a full instrument set.
I've called this compilation SuperPeRIL 1.0 (Super Penguin Retro Instrument Library - yeah I came up with that name first and then found an excuse to use it xD). Feel free to download the original .fur file from my submission and use these instruments yourself as well. No credits needed!
I don't usually do covers, but they're great for learning and in this case it's been a very nice way to learn how to use this tracker and also test some of the instruments I had prepared.
I meant to do more covers (at least one more - I have an unfinished Sootopolis cover somewhere) as well as an entry with original compositions inspired by Pokémon, but unfortunately my job is pretty crazy right now so I haven't had the time. Still I'm happy I've been able to compile the instruments and finish this cover at least. I'll be using this tracker again for sure, I really recommend it.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the track!
