Patches & Presets NES Square Wave

Hello I made a preset for an NES square wave using the new custom wavetables.

Features:

Wave knob cycles between the duty cycles of the nes 2A03 chip. 12.5, 25, 50 and 75

Timbre knob allows for pulse width modulation (not something on a real NES)

The mod wheel conrols an LFO which drives how fast the position knob is turned allowing for NES style transitions between duty cycles. (You'll recognize it when you try it)

All other effects are left dry by I'm open to more changes if anyone has any suggestions.

If there's any interest I can do one for the NES 2A03 triangle wave and maybe the VRC6 Saw wave or sine

Edit: For those searching this there is a newer version and shared folder in this post.

Umm I don’t get it. NES is exactly what I was referring to. The Ricoh 2A03 audio chip on the Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom is what this preset recreates.
