"if I were soft, I would not have gotten this far"

For reals, damn! How do you even make up stuff like this? I can barely get FM drums going on.

Honestly, I'm impressed with the results too, but it's been a long run of experiments I did through other tracks, some released, others left unfinished. And crazily enough, I managed to sequence this quite fast (although you can tell I abused repeated patterns, which makes the process easier).

@@rigid_atoms Oh yeah. Pattern repetition really helps speed up the process. But damn, you might reach Japanese chiptuner levels soon.

@ I'd need to step up my game even further if I ever wanna reach that level. But who knows, eh?

@rigid_atoms thanks, i also made a knuckles chaotix remix of it :)

you know what's funny? I have an unreleased track called "After the Abysm" lol won't release it yet, there are other tracks to come, and all of them need a big Sega CD refresh

@rigid_atoms Knew it was the RF5C164, it makes the Genesis much more capable. I kept wondering why people weren't using it often.

@@RobinNerdington they're likely scared of the size limit for the samples it do be like that, I did so many edits and tested a bunch of samples so I could fit the most in 64kb (currently the module in question has less than 48kb in samples)

@@rigid_atoms True, but nobody minded on the SNES. Sooo... idk.

@@RobinNerdington Nintendo bias, mate, Nintendo bias... (in all fairness, theoretically if you dedicate 40kb of RAM to samples only in SNES, it still would be ~142kb of 16-bit pcm against the max of 64kb of 8-bit pcm for the RF5C140. Still, the Sega CD wins in my book because you can use the YM2612 :D)

se quiser eu te passo agora o módulo pra você gravar 😉

@@rigid_atoms Sério mesmo? Tá afim de fazer um collab?

@@rigid_atoms Olha, eu sou aquele cara que demora um pouco para fazer as coisas, mas também sou aquele cara que faz tudo aquilo que diz que fará. xD

@@megaoverdrive2612 já eu sou um cara que desanima rápido dos projetos, e em termos de composição eu costumo já pensar na track completa quando eu vou escrever a música

@@rigid_atoms Awesome, thanks!

I did something completely unconventional with a bit of brute force. I explained it in the description as well. This is the last time I may do this though, this is not optimal.

It's Sega CD.

@ Thanks!😄🤩😎👌

well, that's the thing, I ripped them from the music rip (in the .ssf format), and supposedly these samples are signed 8-bit PCM (for the most part). There shouldn't be any reason for them to have weird artifacts if I just copied every single byte from RAM. I'm using aosdk, btw, as I mentioned in the description, a custom build I made for myself.

unfortunately, yeah, this is one of those many games from this era that uses dynamic allocation :/

glad you find it fascinating, to me it's a nightmare to study what they're doing for this version of the song

it's like Daytona USA apparently th-cam.com/video/FWcJufiBqoU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rZeknzU93acjnvMY

It's so that a note doesn't just abruptly cut off when the next note plays (like what happens with say an 8-channel PCM chip - on SNES, or Sega CD like Sonic CD's "past" music). When you have 32 channels on the Saturn you can do this, or 28 on an arcade machine - search - acrouzet daytona usa

@@RWL2012 Ah, of course! I’ve run into that problem in my own music, but I never thought about having a surplus of channels enabling you to solve it like this. Thanks for the explanation.

read the description, it's partly the fault of the program I'm using. And I don't really know how to code it :P

@@rigid_atoms Thank you!

Excellent question.
