Well well, what a wonderful surprise we have here.  I see you haven't lost your touch at all.  4 note polyphony on a single channel???  !!!  Man, that's a wonderful thing.

I only played part 2 on the Genesis, & I loved it.  I don't quite recognize this theme since I never played the original, but you sure made it sound nice.  You always make such wonderful & smooth sounds with fine control.

I'll have to mess around with the Ch3 stuff - I tend to leave instruments as they sound, but it might liven things up like they do here!

Take Me Away

Song composed by: marcb0t (Marcus Isom)

Featuring: Jredd (Trevin Hughes) who helped me with one of the patterns when I was stuck ❤

I entered this song into a compilation album for "Fantasy Jam" under the "Chiptune Café" label. 

It was originally intended for a homebrew Sega Genesis game. 

I was inspired by a player piano back in 2003 at the Old Galveston Strand Emporium.

This is how I envision the Phantasy Star 1 title screen sounding if it had been made for Sega Genesis. Made it all from memory, and it's in a different key, though. :)

This was made using only VGM Music Maker.

This song will sound as-is on an actual Sega Genesis. The original game was made for an older system, Sega Master System, which did not have as advanced sound as the Genesis.

I was surprised how well you could do a theremin on the Genesis hardware, as well as the sliced beats through a single DAC channel.

At the first segment, I have this stereo gapping chord thing made using the Special Mode of Channel 3, a highly underused feature that allows you to do polyphony of 4 notes through a single sound channel. There will be more of that from me in the future... hopefully :)

After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !
