How to Make Chiptune With a GameBoy Pocket
- 1). Insert a Gameboy flash cartridge with music software into your Gameboy Pocket and turn the Gameboy Pocket on. Your music creation software will now run on your Gameboy Pocket.
- 2). Assign sounds to each layer and set a repetition pattern for each sound. For example, if you are designing a backbeat, you will want it repeating regularly in a 2/4 pattern.
- 3). Assign a frequency and phase for each sound. Frequency will determine the pitch used by the sound and phasing will determine the synchronicity of the sound.
- 4). Save your layers, and then play your song. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you are happy with your chiptune song.
