twisted registers (famitracker VRC6 121Hz)

thought i'd experiment with famitracker again - I think i finally managed to come up with something i'm really happy with; most other NES tunes i've made in the past were only "serviceable" at least from a sound design perspective.
prior to this i hardly ever used the DPCM channel, so this tune began mainly as an experiment to learn the wave import workflow. i started with the modulated chord stabz - those were rendered via Charlatan VST running through reaper. i spent most of the time tweaking the parameters to get a feel for which frequencies would most likely survive the DPCM conversion.
i was also hoping to make a hardware recording of this, as i fixed my famicom to provide a cleaner mic-less signal out of the TNS-HFC3 unit that i have. what i didn't realize though was that the cart doesn't actually support custom NSF timer speeds. darn! hopefully next week i'll record something that doesn't cause the cart to die.
