For a request: a ''JJ and Jeff (Kato Chan and Ken chan)'' music remake can be handy if you can.

I've always wanted to hear it, at least with MMC5.

If you used PPMCK, There is an option to make Multitrack NSFS. Just search ''The Ultimate PPMCK's manual'' in google

As of Famitracker, click on Current Track or something like that

These are great conversions! Some comments, though:

The Ninja Spirit conversion is really good, but the bassline could use a little more "bounce" like(?) the original. Plus, how about changing the duty cycle of the instrument at 0:56 to more similarly match the "echoey burp" sound of the PCE version?

Sorry, I am clearly not a musician.

Gunhed Level 2 doesn't have enough of a hollow chorus sound like the original -- The lead instrument makes it sound like a Hudson shooting game from around 1985, if that was what you were aiming for.

I forgot to mention, these were made on Famitracker.

It's all good man. You have given me a rude awakening though, I need to learn more instrument editing.

The pitch bend feature (as opposed to the 4xx aka the Vibrato effect) I still suck at. There's alot of capcom music I want to cover but my inability to pitch bend (Megaman style) isn't letting me do it.

About the Gunhed stage 2 comment, I always thought that I couldn't be able to achieve that hollow sound because I only had two channels of melody to deal with, now that I think about it, I'll try instrument volume manipulation and some vibrato.

Now that Ninja spirit track, is the bass you're referring to that last bridge with those triangle slides?

I'll try.

This just me talking, when I do PCE covers, I find them more interesting in 2A03 only
