Genesis DO

Happy new year!
Part 1 are simple demo loops with a lots of register change in the sound presets, Part 2 is the same but turned into VGM files!
at last complex register changes can now be logged :)
The tool will be available in a few weeks to turn your FMDrive + SPSG Vst compositions into a VGM file and then playable on your favorite MD hardware too...! This tool is in a form of an update to the Midi2VGM tool by Valley Bell and adds and FMDrive Controllers option to handles FMDrive Midi data :)

Big News! FMDrive+SPSG VST Now can convert To VGM ! :) read description

Da Pimp! Mac Daddy Pimping right in ya Geny's Face :)
Use 2 extra FM channels (like YM2151) + PSG.
Many use of MUL & TL parameters quick automation on operators...

**Da PIMP** -- FMDrive + SPSG (FM+PSG Mac daddy version)

This Track is FMDrive & SPSG VST only and there is no effects.
No PCM here except the Toe Jam & Earl PCM Voices.
I particularly like the FM drums :)
This track starts a funky journey in Funkotron and then take you somewhere in Space...with guitars and stars.. The PSG only solo features the 3 channels and showcase the craaaazy Z80 timer modulations going on to the volume registers...
Then at some point, lost in space, you land nowhere where some 6 channels FM organ will mess with your jazzy mind...and you will end up in a funky mess :)

-- FUNKOTRON Trip01 -- FMDrive + SPSG

-- FUNKOTRON Trip02 -- FMDrive + SPSG (no pcm)

SOR style... a lot of SSG usage and TL volume Side chaining...
Final Boss fight then you win then staff roll..

--Final BOSS to >> Staff Roll...-- :) FMDrive + SPSG

An original Compo imitating the old fm-synth style. Inspired in retro videogames and "boss stages"  music. This is only the part 2 of the track.

Snake Charmer YM2612 (FMDrive VST + SPSG)

Well. here's an interesting one I don't think I ever put up here. This is a Jesper Kyd inspired track that Groove and I made in 2013. If you've heard any music on Sega Genesis for games like Red Zone or Batman and Robin then you could probably spot the influence. We, of course put our own spin on things but we really had fun with this one as it's something different from what we normally do. Enjoy!

This one was a weird one to work with, it's a rather odd song to translate in FM sounds.

Took an approach similar to that one of Sonic Spinball's music.

-Proof of concept-
The PC version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles contain different tracks for levels and menus, such as this one. I'm trying to arrange them so they sound like they came from the Genesis.

V2* Last version had the Death Egg section too loud, and made everything sound a bit disharmonious (And sounded ugly as hell), so I toned it down and moved it more towards the background.

V3* I still wasn't quite too happy with it, so I made some instrument changes and removed the death egg nod as I couldn't get it to work as I wanted.

Here's another one after quite a while.

This was actually made a while ago but I just now decided to upload it.

The final boss itself reminded me of the way the classic series did its final bosses so I felt like making a Genesis remix of it.

Extensive use of the SSG envelopes and some DAC features in this FMDRIVE Glitches brew... a jazz fusion funky thing with non standard FM sounds...in the spirit of Miles :)
