Celeste OST Pico-8 remake is underway!
You can watch a video above where I compare the original tracks with my Pico-8 arrangements (will only take you three minutes!). Excerpts are from the first four tracks:
Hey everyone!
I’m really enjoying the masterclasses. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to chat and share music.
For the next round of masterclasses, I was going to send out a poll to ask everyone’s preferred times. But considering where you’re all from (Japan, Australia, Europe, West Coast) ...

The last MilkyTracker on volume controls and effects! I introduce Lxx, Gxx & Hxx and show a bunch of creative uses. The first two minutes is also dedicated to going through a few hotkeys for quickly opening up menus.
By the END of this tutorial, you should know how to:
This is the 2nd tutorial of three, exploring volume effects and commands in MilkyTracker. In the previous tutorial, I talked about manually adjusting the volume. In THIS tutorial, I talk all about volume slides.
By the END of this tutorial, you should know how to:
There are a handful of volume effects at your disposal in MilkyTracker. To be thorough, I’ve divided these effects into three tutorials.
By the END of this tutorial, you should know how to:
Thanks to everyone who checked out the first masterclass stream. Lots of conversations about transcribing & arranging music in Pico-8, making melodies sound better, and more!

What is SPD? What is BPM? How are they different, and how are they related?
Understanding SPD and BPM is really important for understanding how volume envelopes and effects work. When I was first learning MilkyTracker, I could never figure them out, and there weren’t any tutorials that explained them thoroughly....

BPM and SPD are the most complex of all the buttons, so I've reserved NEXT tutorial to talk specifically about those. The first couple of tutorials are pretty technical, but sometimes this information is hard to find,...
