Doom FM Arrangements

[estlib]

MOAR, I WANT MOAR!

[phanboyiv]

@geckoyamori This might be a stupid question, but what software did you use to create this? I'm not well-versed in FM synth emulation/composition.

[MightyPinto]

I seriously want that Caco-Plushie!

[coffee115]

I'm working on a GENMIDI patch set and this inspires me.

[tko910]

gimme dat caco

[phanboyiv]

Man, I've been a huge fan of your Sonic remixes for years, and I just realized after watching this video for like the 5th time that you were the remixer.

Really nice job on my other favorite game!

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

Words. Cannot. Describe. How. Fucking. Epic. This. IS!!!!! 8D

IN YOUR GOD DAMN FACE BRIAN COBURN YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!

I demand you to cover the entire soundtrack with 6 fm tones, pcm samples and psg. NOW!

[Lumpytoast]

@SonicTheJackrabbit I SECOND THIS MOTION.

[psn8bit]

Donna to the Rescue sounds INCREDIBLE. I love what you did with the section just before it loops; it sounds like some sort of demonic laughing. Very awesome.

[gamephreak5]

Wow! This is really what the 32x version of Doom should've sounded like, or at least a lot closer to.

[GalliumGrant]

Mashup first song with Thunder Force 4 Theme Song. I demand.

[gravywpg]

FM music is awesome. I'm not too familiar with it, though. Is there some sort of emulator for those who do not possess an adequate sound card for it?

[singularity3]

Download links for the full songs?

[Ehal256]

God. Damn.

[MysticArksRevenge]

DOOM

Original Game (C) 1993 ID Software Inc.

SEGA 32X conversion (C) 1994 Technosoft Co. Ltd.

[DXSnakeEater]

It would of been cool to hear E1M4, E1M9, E2M1, E3M1, E3M8. But otherwise, this is still awesome either way!

[silentzorah]

So. Fucking. Epic.

[figaro589]

DooM meets Thunder Force

[SFtheWolf]

Fantastic work. I'm curious, are there any free/sub 50 dollar FM softsynths (preferably available in AU format) you would recommend? I'm finding them surprisingly hard to track down.

[craycpanda]

Reminds me a lot of Decap Attack! :) Good times...

[z0diak1990]

You achieved a very solid tone with this.

This is a major achievement.

[wrightguyz]

Great background, I was still impressed with the work Sierra did at the time, such as the MT32 stuff...but it always felt a little 'inebriated'', haha...gecko, your arrangements are an inspiration , when are you releasing something official? Stay with it!

[wrightguyz]

Pc fm music never sounded this good, let's be honest, another bad ass effort

[geckoyamori]

@wrightguyz Most (if not all) US-made PC games at the time used General MIDI as the middle man, greatly simplifying the music creation process with the tradeoff of not having direct control over OPL2/3 programming. Outside of the demoscene very few tapped directly into the true potential of the FM-based sound cards, the only developer I can name from the top of my head is Cryo who made Dune, Mega Race, KGB, etc.

[Bluhmann]

It's like DOOM and Thunder Force had a child. And it was music.

[WolfCoder]

I guess geckoyamori really can play DOOM.

[SkyGuy16]

Incredible

[RyanCordel]

Any chance of the entire soundtrack being done like this (which may or may not include the unused doom tracks)? :P

[jeremyemerson]

Wow... very impressive. This sounds amazing; totally gives new life to the game imo. :)

[Snip3rNife]

And on May 29, 2011, SonicTheJackrabbit/Patch's remixes were completely forgotten about because substandard arrangements were posted by a more popular YouTuber

[sergiocornaga]

@Snip3rNife Substandard? Why you gotta be such a jerk? How can more FM synthesis arrangements of Doom music be a bad thing?

[Snip3rNife]

@sergiocornaga I'm just saying SonicTheJackrabbit made these awesome 32x arrangments of Doom but now he's going to be overshadowed because Geckoyamori made his own.

[danooct1]

@Snip3rNife Gotta agree with you there. GeckoYamori is a godly arranger/remixer, but I like SonicTheJackrabbit's instrument choice more for Doom E1M1. I like this version as well, but there's some weird effect I can't quite put my finger on that's somewhat off putting.

[Snip3rNife]

@danooct1 Of course, I love GeckoYamori's work.

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

@Snip3rNife

As Gecko stated in the description, these aren't really true Genesis/32x arrangements, as the Genesis is only capable of 6 FM tones. (Or 7 if you bring in the 32x. :P)

However, I will say this, Gecko can do infinitely better FM synthesis than I can. :V

[mmmmmarcus]

@Snip3rNife GeckoYamori is infinitely better than any unoriginal twat that creates a character from two different characters. I call this "ZeroSonicX-Syndrome".. Similar mental abnormalities include the all-too-familiar "DO NOT STEAL" taglines on horribly-edited pixel art, and furfaggotry.

[Snip3rNife]

@mmmmmarcus You clearly don't know Patch at all then.

[RichterEX2]

AWESOME o.o

Would you take a crack at Tyrian's music?

[PopMusicKiller]

This seriously outdoes anything the Midi arrangements could do.

[Dracko55]

yesss

[BlurkFromUtterSpace]

Make more FM stuff. You are awesome.

[danooct1]

Fuck yeah!

[OMorty]

MY SEGA IS SO FUCKING METALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[neptronix]

DOOM

(c) 1993 COMPILE soft

[mauvecow]

Well, I know what I'm putting on repeat all day.

[z0diak1990]

This is has so much dirge to it, totally suits the style.

[AconyX1]

Wicked.

[Zawicki1]

Nice. This is how it SHOULD have sounded.

[polneroff]

This is on par with Thunder Force 4 in terms of synth guitar work.

Hot and sexy.

[DalekSam]

My future children. Take them.

[ClJNT]

Awesome

What synth did you use?

[TReichAlt]

E3M3? In Genesis form?

I love you god damn

[shalpp]

Oh god that Tom/Snare

You owe me a new keyboard, you made me ejaculate all over mine

[ThePowergloveNinja]

bad ass

[geno344]

This is how Doom 32x should have sounded like.

[kibjohn]

@geno344 Totally agree.

-kidThunder

[OmegaCoolsterDX]

@geno344 if they didn't rushed it, then believe me it could sound like that (or at least something close to that, i think Sega 32x allowed more music channels).

[machriderx]

hell yes
