jobro Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Been searching a few years for a tool to produce SNES SPC700 music. Anyone here who knows where one can find such a tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I think there was some tool to convert .xm files to .spc, essentially meaning you'd have to use a tracker that supports the format. You'd also have to stick with the required specifications, ie very small samples and 8 channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Wulvik Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Never heard of that. I think you're thinking about the program that converts SPC into IT. I may tell you more later of you want, but now I have to go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 No, there is actually an xm-to-spc converter http://ekid.nintendev.com/xms/ ekid wanted to load xm files into snes roms [great for the homebrew gamedevs, if there are even any left doing anything for the SNES], and it turned into a xm-to-spc converter it's not perfect but it's pretty good, here's some examples: http://ekid.nintendev.com/artificial_3.spc [funky fish & raina - artificial sweetener] http://soundtempest.net/soc/mod/oc-blackfriday.spc [:3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just use Spetzer's SPC soudnfont and try to adhere to the rules that applied to the SPC700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 SPC (and for that matter PSX and NES) soundfonts are a joke. If you wanna do it, do it rite, and l2trax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree that NES soundfonts are crap because NES didn't have a sample player, it used a synthesizer and a linear PCM wave. But there are some decent SPC and PSX soundfonts that, when used correctly, can emulate the sound of the SNES/PlayStation. Not everyone wants to spend a lot of time learning a a whole new format just to screw around and make a few SNES tunes. As I understand it, some SNES composers didn't use trackers, they used midis which were then translated into spc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
