--> Midines 1.1.0 track, sequenced and then recorded with FL Studio xD.
I don't usually use the stereo mod for anything, just the standard rca out on the NES, the trick is to keep the pulse channels volume pretty low, for echo effects FL Studio has a great Midi echo feature on the MIDI out plugin, which I also use for quick volume envelopes.
The pattern sequencers swing is better than any of the piano roll quantize functions. Basically I set up a loop then just "ctrl+shift+c" the selected pattern in the playlist and then you get an exact copy, midi cc and everything.

Then it's just a matter of moving things around, once a pattern is locked in with a swing I'll "send to piano roll" to easily change notes / octaves while keeping the rhythm locked in.

peace,

Nobody can work a midines like you...hmmm maybe thats cause you make them? HA! Sweet track. I always love seeing how you work the nes. I need to get my midines plugged back in and see how it sounds with my RME FF400. That should be quite a treat. Is this track recorded raw from the nes or does it have some fx to help out.
