"Techopolis" Cover with a Mega Drive Sound Chip

've always been a fan of that FM Midi sound. I always thought it sounded at its best on a Mega Drive (or Genesis) and for ages now I've wanted to compose something using that sound.

Well! Mad Tracker is dead easy to use, and it all came from that really, I have this plug-in for it that emulates the YM 2612 (not to mention that PSG thing) and the drums are just samples from Sonic 2. Enjoy!

This time, this is a cover of "Techopolis" by Yellow Magic Orchestra.

Thank you :) ok well its a plug-in called VOPM it's very easy to find, i seem to recall the plug-ins part of the mad tracker site actually has it on there. drum wise, its all done with samples taken from games. Hope that helps

AWESOME!!!

where can i download this program? i want to make a song like this

[bloke33]

Just go on google and type in Mad Tracker, but the Mega Drive side of it requires rather a lot of programs

VOPM emulates a different sond chip from the YM2612 bou it sounds the same :) But there is a Genesis tracker available, it's called "VGM Tracker". Google it.

アレンジし過ぎです・・・（リズムだけでは、YMOですか？って­思われますが（困）☆

[breadrack]

Great work :)

[Tiidonator]

cool tune, but the soundscape is a bit tinny/weak....

"I have this plug-in for it that emulates the YM 2612 (not to mention that PSG thing) "

what is it called?

[AmstradExin]

One quick hint, you could have done this with a soundblaster too, you know? The Mega Drive has more than FM. :P
