Or you can create 8-bit WAV samples & use a tool like ReDMC or DMCConv to convert it to a proper DMC sample.

I think Famitracker has one built in too.

But it's not as great & it kills the sound quality.

Too bad some samples, like the 'bip' suck even with ReDMC or DMCconv.
Plus, sound effects are not percussion, so their uses are rather limited.

I can't use those programs since they are for MS-DOS.

You can, you just need to know how. You can hit the start button, run, "command". Or download this batch file. Put it in the directory you want to run a DOS prompt in, and double click it.

OK cool, I'll try the BAT file. I'm trying to make an FM synthesis bass from the AdLib FM chip.

You're talking about using the command line? It's easy if you know how to navigate through it.
It's one hefty manual to read, but it does the job:

As for using DOS programs, all you need to know are the basics; type the program's name, followed by a /? to see what options the program allows you to do.

Type "DMCConv /?" (without the quotes) in the prompt.
A command goes like this:
DMCConv input.wav output.dmc -[options]
Where [options] is the command line switch you wish to use. Use the command line switches if you want to control the way you output a DMC file.
For ReDMC, you simply do this:
ReDMC input.wav output.dmc
In all cases, the WAV file has to be in the same folder as your DMCConv.exe & ReDMC.exe binaries.
