status: trying and failing to get a good semblance of a tubular bell in some Famicom sound chip other than the VRC7

the Namco 163 is looking promising, after a failure to make anything work with the VRC6 and a complete lack of understanding of the 5B

still the 163 is very... detailed, to the point that I find myself opening up reference audio in audacity to try to make a 1:1 copy of the waveform

status update: now considering opening MATLAB to run some code to generate a sequence of 64- or 32-sample 163 waveforms that closely approximates the bell sound

it's a long shot but does anyone have some experience getting bells to sound right in famitracker without using vrc7

it is only a single note that we need so I tried to do it with dpcm but it can't be loud enough
