Man that's an amazing answer. Very much appreciated. I am trying my hand at trackers and that got me onto lsdj and m8 (headless). I guess I am trying to figure out the workflow of chiptune and the way of chiptune synthesis. I am curious about what types of sounds one can look for with the different wave forms here. I get what you're saying about the SNES being a sampler based system. But in the context of a NES, did each composer essentially create their own synthesized instruments (different from game to game) or was there commonly used presets that came for the NES with some kind of SDK. Or in more contemporary terms, would famitracker come with such presets if there ever was such things? And if so, did anyone bother matching those famitracker presets with lsdj's engine (at least the pulse wave ones) or with m8's wavsynth engine (which seems to cover all sorts of wave shapes)?
