@Randomous I need your assistance on a matter. I have found the instrument that sounds similar to the instrument used in most GBC melodies, but I can not seem to find the usual bass. Do you have any idea which one that might be??
I may not be Randomous, but I can answer your question. If you are looking for instruments that are much like what the GBC plays, then you need 4 instruments. Two are pulse wave generators, one is a programmable wave channel, and last is a noise generator. PTC provide you with all of them. The pulse wave generators range from instruments 114 to 150, the noise is instrument 151, and user-made waveforms range from instruments 224 to 255, but require you generate them via BGMPRG. While waveforms may be complicated, the example they provide may be exactly what you're look for. The example is a triangle wave, which is used on the GB/C and NES for bass. However, the example is actually not valid because it is too short (it must be either 64 or 128 2-digit hex characters long). Rather than go into details on how to form it, I can give it to you right here.
@TRIANGLEWAVE
DATA "000810182028303840485058606870787F787068605850484038302820181008"
DATA "00F8F0E8E0D8D0C7C0B8B0A8A098908880889098A0A8B0B8C0C8D0D8E0E8F0F8"
Once you set this in your program and run it, it'll make instrument 224 act like a triangle wave for your bass. You can mess with the inputs for the Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release for the waveform (currently set to 127 in the code in the said order) if you need to tweak it. These 4 channels are what I use for my MM2PTC project (though I'm doubling up on them, one set for just background music, and the other set just for sound effects). I found the pulse instruments 144, 145, 147, and 149 simulate the NES pulse types just fine.
@Discostew I second your advice on starting small.
@damolii I'm sorry I haven't been around! As Discostew said, if you want it to sound exactly like that old-school sound, you'll have to recreate the Triangle wave so you have the "complete set". However, in my recreated songs, I just used a pulse instead of a triangle. It may not sound exactly right, but the bass isn't really all that noticeable to begin with in most songs, so it's passable.

Heh, the triangle wave channel is very noticeable in the Kirby song I made for you, mainly when it is at a high octave.
Speaking of which, I should make another requested song soon, but not tonight.

@Discostew and @Randomous Thx guys. I had figured out the waveforms(144-150), especially 147, but I wasn't so solid on BGMPRG. Thank you!! XD
P.S: I'm attempting to use the APPEND command, but I keep getting an illegal function call. I do not know what I'm doing wrong. I put the APPEND command at the end of the main program and everything.
@damolii APPEND is meant to be used alogside the run commands (RUN, SAVE, LOAD, CONTINUE, etc). It just didn't make the cut to the top function keys. It works the same way as LOAD, but instead of loading a new program, it adds the code to what ever code you already have.
For instance, If you're working on a game and you want to add something from another program, instead of saving and loading and memorizing, you could just loadup your game and then do APPEND "FILENAME" to add code from "Filename".
I don't understand why you need it at the end of your program since its meant to be a *Run only command.
Okay guys, I have a request to any of the MML masters on this forum. My recent project SURVIVE has brought me to the phase at which it needs more music. I need some music that would fit the art style and overall actions that you can do in SURVIVE. Basically I need a day and nighttime theme that are looped. Eventually when it comes time for me to do seasons and biomes then I am probably going to need more, but this is all I need at the moment.
While we are on the topic of SURVIVE...Here is what I have so far
256x32 sized map with BG scrolling done, a working crafting and inventory system, crafting recipes, animal spawning (No combat or AI done yet), equippable items, decent looking main menu, Working hunger thirst and health system,and custom BG's and animal/equipment sprites.
If you need some screenshots just ask!
Future plans...Seasons, weather conditions, day/night cycle, Combat and animal AI, and diseases. If you have any suggestions just tell me!
Animals in the game...Hostile bears, deer, squirrels, and bunnies.
@Hansausage Have you looked at any classical music that you think could be used in your game? For example, the main theme in the first movement of Beethoven's 6th symphony could be used when it's summer in your game. I could suggest some more works, and code some of them for you if you're interested.

Oh wow, Didn't even think of that. If you could convert what you think would be a suitable day and night theme that'd be great!

I would like to see a screenshot, if you don't mind

@TobuKatsu just make they array 2 times bigger or place the bg tiles for the second array right by the first. Do you know how arrays work or did you just copy a tutorial?
New SURVIVE Major update (Still not released) I added Saving/loading! and got rid of the pesky messages that would WAIT 60 everytime you found an item. I also made a 16x16 sprite sheet with a shelter and campfire sprite, now I just need to make them placable (They are already craftable) I also made an 8x8 sprite sheet with Shiv's and Bow/Bow animation. Which are both already craftable and just need to be equippable. I also changed the map size to 512x256 because it only took 3 minutes to walk across the map. Now the final touches I need to make before i release V1.3 (1.0 was the initial release, 1.2 was redone terrain generator and array for generation) are combat system, redo animal spawning.AI and anything else that is unimportant.

I'm thinking of making a program explaining my theory on 5D space...opinions?

My theory is actually 6 dimensions - 4 directional dimensions, 1 "action" dimension, and 1 time dimension.
