The Last V8 [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Rob Hubbard - Made with C64 Driver/Samples & DAW (6 Channels)

This is one of the very first C64 tunes that made me aware of two things. The first being that you can modulate the pulse duty cycle and trill the pitch one octave higher and second, you can switch sounds in at any time. In fact, you should modify your compositions to make gaps where you do switch in other sounds to make the piece fuller that it otherwise would be. It all seems obvious now but to a 14yo, it was a revelation.

For these reasons, I have to tribute this time and its amazing composer and programmer. Rob, you inspired us all.

Made with ♥
Gavin
