Nerdtracker II - make your own NES music!

If you're a fan of retro-styled music, then it's a delight to see a revival of a music scene involving composition on retro consoles, spearheaded by sites like Vorc. Yes, it may seem decadent, but making music under intriguing constraints with unique-sounding hardware.. rocks. And just recently launched is a page devoted to Nerdtracker II, where you can use a DOS 'tracking' interface to compose your own Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) soundtracks, complete with vibrato, arpeggiation, tremolo, and a host of other cool effects. Think this is only for the hardcore? Well how about MCK, the Japanese's NES music editor of choice, which doesn't even have a GUI - you compose in Notepad, code-style! And yes, if you're a supa-dupa badass, you can listen to your music on a NES.
