Heartful Cry (Persona 3) 2A03 Cover (and Web-Chiptune-Player)
With Persona 3 Reload having released recently, and "The Answer" being announced as DLC for it last March, the song "Heartful Cry" was on my mind and I decided to listen to it again.
As I was listening, I thought "in a 2A03 chiptune cover of this song, that triangle linear counter effect would make for a great instrument to represent the harsh bass lead in the original".
So, I made that 2A03 chiptune cover!
I used Furnace tracker, because FamiStudio doesn't support the triangle counter effect. I started making the cover on the weekend, March 16th. I worked on it for hours each day to get it done before my next class, and finished on March 18th.
I also uploaded a video to my YouTube channel of an oscilloscope view of the cover!
Introducing Web-Chiptune-Player
Remember when I made a chiptune cover of Murders, but didn't post it on my blog until I finished coding an NSF player? I've done the same thing again! Currently, the only chiptune format that Furnace can export Famicom chiptunes to is VGM; so I couldn't use Web-NSF-Player or Web-GME-Player for this post. I had been experimenting with making more web players for more chiptune formats for a while, but making this VGM format cover motivated me to finally release a usable multi-format, multi-library web chiptune player. There are more features I would like to add, but I think Web-Chiptune-Player is in a good state right now.
The purpose of Web-Chiptune-Player is to allow web developers to embed chiptune in their websites, as I have done in this very post; if that sounds interesting to you, then I hope you'll find Web-Chiptune-Player useful!
