Music Composition

NES

“

The NES programmable sound generator system was very simple. There were only four sound generators, one which is purely for white noise. Each generator had two or three byte registers for control. What the program did was storing data in the registers, waiting for a given number of interrupts, and then rewriting the register values.

„

Mitsunori programmed his own sound engine and wrote the music in assembly.
