TIMELESS UPRISE

I got a MU128
so I made a track using a few of its features
most of this only uses base-level XG patches, I can't wait to try out more of the exclusive patches
Special thanks to Jace for helping me set up SOL, so I could have this as a proper MIDI file

Natura Hideout (MU128)

I have SoundCloud Pro now, I'm going to slowly upload my entire back catalogue, I'm in the process of building up my new portfolio too and it's going to be fer that too.

Anyway, fun music, was inspired by The Legendary Axe (on the PC-Engine) when writing the first half, and by Rise of the Triad (really any of Lee Jackson's music).

...It's been 3 years already, what the heck?

Hey y'all! I hope you're enjoying Deltarune Chapter 2... I certainly did.
I won't bore you with my thoughts (yet), however, if you haven't played it, pause the video, go get Deltarune here (it's free, although it only has the first two chapters), then come back. You won't regret it, I promise. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1671210/DELTARUNE/

...Okay, I'll say one thing: I have more remixes planned out. Also more things in general planned out. Look forward to them, I think you'll enjoy 'em. For now, though, enjoy this, uh, trance-ish take on A Cyber's World? 

Special thanks to HyperCole64 for letting me borrow the image - I forgot to screenshot or record footage when I played through, but that's fine, I'm working on fixing that now (I recorded a 2 hour or so session with Chapter 1, for no reason other than for fun). Check out his Twitter, and go give him a follow! https://twitter.com/HyperCole64

WHEN WILL YOU [Hit it b1g], like me?,
[Be a Big Sh0t], SON! It’s your [DESTINY!]
ALWAYS AFFIRMING THAT YOU'LL [get there],
BY CALLING [Everyone] - uh, Are you aware?
[You're acting s1lly], as if you forgot:
[Now's your chance to be a big shot!]

[My son] IS ON THE PHONE WITH A [Mysterious P3rson],
SUDDENLY YOUR [Click-through Rate] is rapidly  [Ris1ng];

YOU'VE GOT [No T1me], YOU'RE PLAYING [my Game],
[WOW YOU'RE] [The Best], YOU'VE GOT SOME FAME;
Your [Fr1ends] have left - YOU'RE a [Big Sh0t] [NOW!]
YOU'RE [All About:] SALES AND [Hyperlink Blocked], [Wow!]
[Best Salesman since 1997]
[Number 1 rated], WITHOUT [[ANY]] QUESTION,
RIDIN' MY TRAIL OF [Sale] AND [Success],
AND EVERY SINGLE [Trend] THAT I'LL OBSESS.

MY SON WAS ON THE PHONE WITH [The Mysterious P3rson],
Suddenly, HIS [Sales] HAVE DROPPED [Beyond Recognition!]
WHAT GOT YOU [The G1ory Days] HAS LEFT YOU IN SHAMBLES,

ARE YOU A [Big Shot], SON?
ARE YOU A [Big Shot], SON?
ARE YOU A [Big Shot], SON?
ARE YOU A [Big Shot], SON?

ARE YOU A [BIG SHOT], SON?

For Dormiveglia (again). This song has been "finished" and public for a while, but I decided to give it a fresh coat of paint to make it stand shoulder-to-shoulder with TIMELESS UPRISE.

ARE YOU A [BIG SHOT], SON? (Instrumental)

YOU ARE ON A DIFFUSE MISSION TO STOP THE EXPLOSIVE TRAIN FROM BLOWING UP THE "STARSYLVANIA" CITY. YOU HAVE TWO HOURS BEFORE THE TRAIN IS DETONATE. GOOD LUCK!!

Art by myself, I might release it standalone later. Heavily inspired by Yousuke Yasui's works (check their music out, if you haven't already! It's great stuff), as well as late 80s-90s KONAMI arcade music.

Chocobo Chase

IM BACK!!!!!!! B)

we've started development on the full game - here's one of the tracks that you'll hear early on in the game (but not in the demo!!!)

https://dormivegliagame.com/

UNBOUNDED HORIZONS

(aka YM2151 + SegaPCM)

inspired by the many works of Yousuke Yasui, AM4N, and the sound of many Capcom CPS2/Qsound soundtracks. (you should check these people/soundtracks out when you can, they're  all great)

ENIGMATIC NEBULA (FM Original)

Created for the POWER! SuperDIGI compilation album, this is track 7 on the album there.

Full album is listenable here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA5loM9Vcbo

At the time of writing, I had just recently put my rack back together after a super long time of it being taken apart. I just wanted to write a more simple tune that doesn't need to worry about so much mixing work being done, as I was also on a (very tight) time limit with the deadline and life getting in the way - so I opted for my Alesis and SC-55 modules, as I figured these two would blend together well - I ended up being far more correct about that than I had anticipated.

I used a lot of pitch and harmonic shift tricks on the 55 in particular - the two assignable CC's (16 and 17) were assigned to ±24 semitones (+24 on one, -24 on the other), this got me some really pretty lo-fi sounds and some punchy drums. The Alesis module provides a lot of the sounds that aren't typical for the SC-55, to provide some timbral variety.

I was super inspired by Mitsuda's Chrono Trigger score while writing this, way more than I'd normally be.

Ancients Of The Dawn

Trial by Error

Folks, the chicken has been cooked.
YM2151 + 2xK053260
Original by RRThiel: https://soundcloud.com/rrthielnc/derelictvessel

The Derelict Vessel (FM Arrangement)

This was the first stage theme to get completed, although it wasn't the first to get started - that honour goes to Hailing Hard, which was the first song started for the project if I recall correctly. Accomodates "Nightmare before Christmas".

Trackin' Tangle - Mega Man Y+1: Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

Man working on this theme was so cool, big shoutouts to @rrthielnc for letting me reuse the Airborne Shrine motifs for this, I combined them with Permafrost Perfection's motifs. Accomodates the Snow PBN-002 fight (which really is the final boss unless you don't do the stages in order).

Teal-Tinted Tenacity - Mega Man Y+1: Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

This is the menu theme, where Roll isn't exactly feeling festive, but hey - special shoutouts to MiniMacro Sound for helping with some of the sections in this, hugely appreciated!

Roll Had This On Her Christmas Mixtape - Mega Man Y+1: Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

Of no reference to the hit michaelwave fangame, Mega Man Permafrost. Accomodates Cyberian Stormwatch and Gingerbread Fortress, and is an adaptation of an earlier doodle I wrote with FL Studio. Aimed for DKC David Wise vibes for this as well.

Play the game here: https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/mega-man-y-1-operation-x-m-a-s.1959/

Permafrost Perfection - Mega Man Y+1 Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

Ain't your typical stage select theme (although it's not far off either) - it's longer as it has to accomodate both a stage select *and* a weapon select, as you can only bring two out of six!

Play the game here: https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/mega-man-y-1-operation-x-m-a-s.1959/

Lock & Load - Mega Man Y+1 Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

The title theme, which turned out neat I think.

Play the game here: https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/mega-man-y-1-operation-x-m-a-s.1959/

Light The Way Ahead - Mega Man Y+1 Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

Note: It is not actually hailing, despite what the track title may suggest. Accomodates "Down Under Beach".
Warning: May include "damp problem" and "mould problem" - Please check with your physician before downloading "Mega Man Y+1: Operation X.M.A.S."

Play the game here: https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/mega-man-y-1-operation-x-m-a-s.1959/

Hailing Hard - Mega Man Y+1 Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

This was the last stage theme to get started and finished - and incidentally is also the theme that was used in the game's trailer (albeit in a remixed form). I think it's one of my favourites out of all of them, it's short and sweet. Accomodates "One Snowy Christmas Eve..."

Play the game here: https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/mega-man-y-1-operation-x-m-a-s.1959/

Altitudinous Apogee - Mega Man Y+1 Operation X.M.A.S. [2A03]

A decadent trajectory, pursuing an unknown target for so long... you just, well... honestly, you *have* to admire its dedication at this point. I just wonder if it'll reach whatever target it's pursuing, or rather, when?

Perpetual Motion

This is the credits theme found in Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level, I wrote this about 3 years ago at this point (the game released in 2021).

Say No More

ORIGINAL by Nick Roselin, please do check it out https://soundcloud.com/epicrpgremixes/a-battle-of-grand-proportions

This is for the GRAND DAD Reboot fangame, made by RED-FIRE. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC15dfiQuRLqhgDl7bnz0gAg

Made using OCC Famitracker

A Battle Of Grand Proportions - Fortran Boss Battle (8-bit Famitracker arr.)

Another Genesis cover using SMPS.
Most of the instruments are original and made with GennyVST. While it is somewhat buggy, it worked nicely here.

Mega Man 9 - Splash Woman (16-bit Genesis arr.)

It's not authentic SNES, but I used MM&B samples only

UPDATE 2: i have pro - download at your heart's desire now i guess

Ravage Man (MM&B style)

Tries to mimic Konami's later arcade setup (YM2151 + K053260), but because Deflemask doesn't support the latter, I used Sega PCM limited to 4 channels.

Haunted Castle - Cross Your Heart (AC Remix)

I did this around the time it came out since I loved it so much but I only got around to uploading it just now lol

CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL TRACK BY THE ULTRA MEGA TALENTED GARRETT WILLIAMSON: https://soundcloud.com/gwilliamson/what-if-im-hurt-again

Garrett Williamson - What If I'm Hurt Again (SNES Remix)

Every sound you hear is from Ben Burnes's sample packs, which you can find here: https://gumroad.com/ben_burnes

Name your price: https://melonadem.bandcamp.com/track/burned-loops

Burned Loops

update: i WILL remix a song or two from chapter 2.
update 2: i did a remix of a chapter 2 song :)
The original song is so good. The game is great as well, and it's also free. Do absolutely give it a shot: https://www.deltarune.com/

Deltarune - Rude Buster (Mel's remix)

It's that one track I did for October's 21 days of VGM, except it's actually a complete song. Wouldja believe that.

This sound module's really cool, I hope to make more use of it in the future.

GARFIELD GAMEBOY'D COMPLETE and LYRICS TEXT by @lumpytouch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDqUDt3K5Mk

LYRICS:
Layers on layers, of moments we’ve shared.
Just like a lasagna, created with care.
The flavors are burning, a new page is turning.
And I hope that you’ll be there in the end,
Good-bye my friend.

Well, here it is! It's quite a different take from the original too, which IMO is a lot more touching than the other version.
