envelopes. what does ASDR have to do with pitch shifting samples?
> hurr durr it sux
it was necessary to heavily reuse samples when you're shipping your game / demo on a floppy disk: you don't have room for a bunch of samples. uncompressed sound takes up a ton of space.
zoomers don't know what it's like to not have infinite hard drives with gigabit download speeds everywhere.

Famitracker is standard. Lots of attention in the indie gaming scene. There are some MIDI solutions into the controller port with software, but, most have been abandoned sadly...

In the professional music scene, the gameboy gets more attention because of it's "wave" channel which is a bit customizable and very unique sounding. NES is just two square waves, a triangle, noise channel, and terrible sounding PCM. Genesis is basically a worse yamaha OPL2. SNES uses ok samples and GBA uses terrible quality samples.
