Amphibia Theme Song [8-bit Chiptune Cover]

Показать описание

I really really love this show, it's definitely my favorite cartoon at the moment.
Between this and the Owl House, I've officially run out of cartoon theme songs I'd like to cover. I'm open to suggestions on what I should cover next.
In the mean time, I'll be working on original stuff.

By the way, here’s how to decipher this code, in case you’re wondering (I figured this out entirely by watching this video multiple times):

1. In all columns except “Noise” and “DPCM, ” the first three characters determine the pitch of the sound (or simply, the note that’s played). The first character is the letter of the note, the second is either a dash or a hashtag, depending on whether the note is natural (dash) or sharped/flatted (hashtag), and the third is the octave number, or what group of notes on a piano keyboard the note would be in.

2. The third section of those same columns (the one which contains a single light-blue character in this case) defines the volume of the note, and since it’s hexadecimal, you have 16 different volumes to work with (including 0, which completely mutes the note). This can also be used to make notes last longer, as you can make a large gap between the previous note and the next, where the only thing in it is those blue characters: slowly fading the note out before the next one hits. This happens several times in this song.

3. The DPCM column is special, in that it doesn’t make any sound at all, and is only used to control the back-end parameters for the song. Therefore, what we think of as “8-bit music” is actually “7-bit music, ” as that last bit doesn’t actually make noise. But here’s a not-so-basic rundown of what this column can do, as it’s quite interesting:

- “F” Parameters: These parameters look like “F 00” and are used to control the tempo of the song. Watch the DPCM column at the beginning of the song, and you’ll see several of these, starting at “F 09” and working downwards until it reaches “F 03, ” which is where it remains for the rest of the song. Every time one of these passes the execution line (the white line in the middle that highlights the current position in the song), the song speeds up slightly, as lower numbers mean higher BPM.

- “D” Parameters: These parameters look like “D 00” and are used to end a measure early (or before the 64th or 3F beat). This is used once towards the end of this song, and when used strategically, it can make any song sound so much better!

- “C” Parameters: This is by far the simplest parameter of them all: it simply ends the song. When you want the song to end, just drop in a “C 00, ” and it will stop instantly when the execution line reaches that point.

4. The remaining groups of characters (including the second and fourth groups) are used as modifiers to further change the sound in interesting ways. I’m no expert on these, however, and it’s very hard to tell what exactly they do, but they exist; that’s all I know.

Wow! This sounds freaking EPIC in chiptune format! Like honestly, they could make a video game out of Amphibia, and it would be PERFECT!

Edit: HOLY HELL, THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS!?!?
