Alternating the lead between FM and squares makes this really fresh sounding. It's a composition technique I wish was more commonly used in actual Mega Drive games, though the duet & call-response nature of this particular song makes it especially impactful. Fantastic work with the harmonies, which also take advantage of the different timbres of FM and square waves.
The genesis is so underestimated when it comes to its sound chip. I personally think it is better than the SNES chip and that PSG from the MasterSystem really tops it off. Nice work!
Heh, thanks. It does take a good composer to not make something sound like flatulence and noise when it comes to the YM2612 (and any other FM) chip. I do find the YM2612's FM capabilities to be more interesting than the sample-based S-SMP of the SNES, even though I consider both to be unique in their own way.
Wavetable Guy yeah I have tried to make things for the genesis but I haven't succeeded. I agree with the uniqueness and they can both be used in different ways.
I like this better than the original SNES mix and that's saying something frankly. And yet it sounds exactly how I remembered it at the same time. Good job.
First I saw a Shinobi 3 oscilloscope video when I looked up the OST for the Genesis game, that led me to find that alot of Genesis songs have oscilloscope videos on TH-cam, and that led me to this, despite the game never coming to the system. Haha. I love it.
Spendid work on this cover! :) I just LOVE the sound of the Sega Genesis when talented people are really able to make it sing. ^_^ Some of my favorite Sega Genesis game soundtracks: Dynamite Headdy, Devilish / Bad Omen, Thunder Force IV.
I'd say Mega Man & Bass was the only one to use really good instruments though. It sounded really good, which is expected as they got a CPS2 composer to make it.
Great work! I am quite fond of the YM2612 and it gets a bad rep because many composers were forced to be rushed and GEMs (iirc that was the software used) could be limited. The YM2612 has soul if you know how to use it!
Whenever I hear the part around 1:45 , I instinctively say "GET DOWN!" The only reason I can think of is that I listened to TheLegendofRenegade 's ( th-cam.com/video/UmKtVdo0dpc/w-d-xo.html ) arrangement so much. Either way, this arrangement is no slouch either. Great job, man!
Looking for 'all' the remixes of the song that sounds like power ready to be unleashed, that is MM&B's intro stage; can't say I often see instrument waveforms represented via oscilloscope, and the way they move is fascinating to these naive eyes of mine... So yeah~ Now to continue my search for an orchestral and a heavy/rock cover

Greetings, could I possibly take a screenshot of your video and refer it in my university coursework? I am doing a write up on the evolution of game sound and I am currently talking about PSGs and FM chips. Thanks :D
That's the interesting thing about FM synthesis, especially when it comes to not only the YM2612 in the Sega Genesis, but other chips in the family such as the YM2203, YM2608, etc. What you hear may not be what you'd expect in an oscilloscope view.
@@SuperJet_Spade No I mean that all of the waveforms look like they're several octaves higher than they actually are. It's like the oscilloscope didn't scale the waves properly or something.
Ah yeah. In 2017, when I made this, SidWiz2 by RushJet1 had only existed for making oscilloscope views, and I believe I never figured out how to scale the waves in it so you can see the details more clearly.

There's ways to get full 6 note chords in only 3 channels. If you know how to do that it makes your stuff sound so much more full without using up all the channels. It would make this sound even better than it already does.
Ah yes, a polychord. I pretty much know how to do that now, but back in 2017 (when I made this cover), I didn't understand how FM synthesis worked, so I just used the existing patches that came with Deflemask here.

I can see where the bass aspect in megaman and bass comes in and its amazing

The Genesis chip is great when used well! Sometimes it can sound grating. Other times, it sounds like this!
Yes. I agree. Some devs didn't know how to use it.
@@victorleonardo9676 I was having an opinion, not a statement.
This is like the best of two worlds! It is almost as clean as the SNES version while having the extra punch of the GBA version! Good job!

This cover is nice and smooth and really clashes with the typical view on the Megadrive's audio capabilities. You've earned yourself a sub!
the genesis having bad audio was always bullshit, composers just didnt know how to use it
By the way, great cover! I agree with one of the comments below. The lead instrument changing between FM synth and SN76489 is nice :)
Play at 0.75x speed for the vaporwave version.
I always come back to listen again and again, this cover is awesome
Holy cow! This video has over 4,000 views. This is definitely the most watched video in my channel.
everyone wanted those non X megaman in genesis, so this is like an half accomplished childhood dream
Hot damn, you know how to pick a lead instrument! I love this!

In Japen, the SNES died in 2003, and its last game was Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut in 2000.
Interesting. I knew the SNES lived a bit longer in Japan, but I never knew when it died off.
There's also Star Fox 2 which was released in 2017 for the SNES classic.
Really good cover! You took advantage of that sweet genesis sound and made something really good.
This reminds me of the one I made recently! Awesome work!
This is by far the COOLEST THING I've seen today!!!! I wish I could give this infinite thumbs up
Love the way you presented this, both musically and visually!
This cover sounds nice! Nice job!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
So smooth!
You did an awesome job!
Fantastic cover
I like this cover :D
Holy fuck, this is good. I don't care fore the Megaman SNES soundtracks since they use awful samples, but this is great.

Man that soundchip can SING
GIVE ME MORE OF THIS, I'M COOOOOOOOOMING
Better than original
I love this :>
Okay, now I'm curious. What brought you here to this video?

I searched for "sega genesis bass"
It was randomly in my recommendations. Subscribed!

Drago 303 ugh, why do people even do that?
Eggman Museum Act 1-Sonic & Shadow
Soooooo good
Rock(man) 'n bass
A lot of remixers add too much portamento and vibrato and I’m glad you did NOT do that here.
I like to transcribe my covers as close as possible to the original songs, even down to the minute details 😉
It’s great. When I was young I did some very detailed MIDI transcriptions of things like the music from KoF and whatnot. Took ages but I learned a lot
Perfection
It would be awesome to see some of the Descent tunes on the scope.
cool

It's hard to tell this is the actual song since it looks like it would be grating on the ears

I think some Genesis models pan the PSG channels. It's not something you can control.
I was told a while back that none of the Genesis models have panning for the PSG channels.

This seems to be a flash game lol
Damm, this version suck so much
