I decided to sequence the battle theme from Wizardry, since I always say how under appreciated this soundtrack is.

I've been struggling with how the three devices in my synth setup (Korg Volca Keys, Yamaha Reface DX, Roland Sound Canvas SC-88) all sound wildly different; which makes it hard to have a cohesive sound.  So I decided for this one to just have fun with the contrast of having an analog monosynth paired with FM Brass and sample based strings.

Wizardry - Battle

My god, and here I thought that Shining Force song was hard to sequence!

This is one of the most iconic songs from the arcades of all time, Passing Breeze from Outrun, bu the amazing Hiroshi Kawaguchi! 

My new drum machine finally came in this week, so I've been glued to it, trying to figure it all out.  I'm proud to announce that as of this cover, I'm now pure synth, no more ROMpler (unless I put it in for effect).  I can't believe how many different variations were used for each part, and then once you think it's over it transitions into a whole new section of the song.  I learned a ton by covering this track; I'm starting to feel like I can do almost anything on this sequencer now!

I can't believe Hiroshi Kawaguchi was able to sequence this whole song (as well as 3 other equally complex and long) on a System 16 Arcade board in 1986.  What an absolute legend!

Episode One: Fish & Chips

Streets_Of_Rage_2 "Dreamer" (Famicom+VRC6 with TNS-HFC3)

The_Scheme "I'll_Save_You_All_My_Justice" (Famicom+VRC6 with TNS-HFC3)

Here are two songs I tracked using the Korg M01 for the Nintendo DS.  

Metroid Ending

Breath of Fire 2 - I'll Do It! (YM2612 Cover)

Eternal Champions - Midknight (YM2612 Rearranged)

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - Stage 1-1 (YM2612 Cover)

This is an arrangement of the capital (?) theme from SimCity's unreleased NES version. I heard the original tune in a prototype showcase video from MAGFest and instantly fell in love with it. I tried to incorporate the original sounds while also building on it, but I had to make the ending up a bit - unfortunately the song doesn't completely loop in the footage as it's either interrupted by the alert tune or the player fast forwards the emulator. I really, really hope we'll be able to hear the full tracks someday!
