Random generated sequence: RUN/STOP generated by GATE controlled by slow LFO_TRI which is controlled by slow/random LFO_TRI
M1 playing melodic sequence (all black, 4-5 oct) in random seq; KB>CUT
M2 playing wind/bird sound. slow/random LFO-TRI controls mix knob. EG of M1 controls attenuated VCO1V/OCT of M2, which has high res as well. VCF controls VCA, giving a very slight LFO on the amplitude of the wind, although VCA is always open. All of this gives us a seagull-like sound going back and forth with some noise/wind that changes with random/slow LFO_TRI.
Lexicon mod_delay with max variation gives a tape warble, and arena rev gives that "infinite" reverb.

OPERCULUM

I've never made VGM music before, and was told to make it as 16-bit genesis as possible. I was also told to use odd time signatures, so here's my first crack at 16-bit VGM in 5/4! Please critique critically as hard as possible.

All sounds use the VSTi Genny, which emulate the YM2612 and SN76489 chips found in the Sega Genesis. However, I don't fully grasp FM, and couldn't quite get the exact sounds I wanted, and I used external FX which I'm sure didn't exist with the Genesis.

Stay tuned for more news for the upcoming fast-paced, side-scrolling, rocket-jumping game starring incestuous amputee monster girls, B'lass Project!

WORK IN PROGRESS (1st draft)
The following are several rough drafts of a handful of songs I am working on for my first OST and introduction to vgm and fm synths. All tracks loop twice.

All sounds from Genny VSTi, a virtual instrument that emulates the YM2612 and SN76489 chips found in the Sega Genesis, except for a couple sounds from 3xOsc.
All FX are stock FL Studio.

The purpose of this project was to make a soundtrack that sounds like old Sega Genesis games with my own twist. Multiple genres and time signatures were heavily encourages. Making 16-bit metal/punk in 5/8 utilizing only FM synths was an extremely fun challenge. FX were allowed to be used that may not have been realistic to emulate on the Sega Genesis. 

Stay tuned for Shazy Soft's B'lass Project, a high speed 16-bit platformer where you run, rocket jump, and defy physics to save your sister! https://shazysoft.itch.io/

Work in progress. This song is for a boss fight with a queen bee who you have to beat in a dance-off!
On the second loop, there's a harmonization that plays. Unsure how busy it makes the high-end or not.
Constructive feedback highly encouraged!

DAW: FL Studio
VSTi: Genny, 3xOsc
Samples: Mega Genesis Sample Pack (drums)

Blue foggy forest. Was originally overworld music but it sounded much better in the forest level.

Drum samples from Mega Genesis Sample Pack


Writing process:
I use FL Studio as my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). This game's design takes a modern approach at the Sega Genesis style, so I match that with my music by primarily using a VSTi (virtual instrument) named Genny, which is a Sega Genesis FM sound chip emulator.

I generally start with a Genny preset,, and then twiddle some knobs, change algorithms, or add layers as I see fit. That way, the sound is still Genesis-inspired, but original.

The pad that plays in the beginning/throughout is a good example of envelope generators in FM synth. Making the attack longer allows the sine waves to slowly sweep and change into something a lot more complex.

I'm awful at making drum sounds in Genny, so I stick to Genesis sample packs and modify pitch/time, EQ, or add fx.

Sometimes a bass or lead need an extra oomph, or I want a portamento (slide) and can't figure out how to do that in Genny, so I add a 3xOsc (a free built-in synth in FL studio that's rather bare-bones and is a fantastic introduction to synthesis).
What's strange is how out of tune Genny is. To make everything sound nice, I have to tune the 3xOsc a whole-step up (C becomes D) and also fine tune by about 40 cents (cents are a logarithmic unit of measurement used for musical intervals. There are 100 cents between semitones, so the pitch difference between an A and an A# is 100 cents). I kind of like that everything is not in conventional tuning.

The song is in 7/4 (or 7/8? I never understood the difference). The wooden arpeggio at the beginning almost loops as if it's in 3/4, and the snare acts as if it's in 4/4, so you can bop.

Glitchy IDM-ish hat because why not?

I hope you enjoy my music. Constructive criticism/feedback highly encouraged. I'm not good at mixing/mastering. I'm also happy to answer any questions regarding my process or synthesis/production in general!
