Actraiser - Fillmore V2 (Genesis Cover)

A re-do of my old cover.

[@vludi7857]

I was not entirely convinced by your previous version, this one is just perfect.

[@JoystickVersusMachine]

I've never heard a cover of this track that was even remotely close to the original. I didn't think it was possible to surpass the SNES rendition. I do believe you have. Excellent job!

[@madson-web]

Look out for the PC-88 version which is the original Kojiro rendition. (I'm not implying that one version is superior to another)

[@solaceoceanwave999]

SNES: Your soundchip is no match for mine. Genesis: Hold my beer!

[@kyriacosomerou6763]

It's not fair . The drums are obviously samples

[@DehnusNorder]

Genesis is more the old underdog that sees the younger player and just goes "Fuck that shit! I have at least one more good run in me! Anything they can do! I CAN DO!" . You know that fan favorite you cheer on in the stadium that every so often just... does a touch down that makes you go "O M G!!!!!".

Now for your real, hardest test, please do Actraiser 2 remix at equal quality, good luck.

[@cyberpc1333]

WTF!? This is Best version, simples and original! 10/10

[@LordServbot]

For some reason, I thought this was Castlevania.

[@AzureQuality]

Same.

[@nathandaniels4823]

@@AzureQuality I suspect Koshiro was channeling Castlevania......although the game came out nearly the same time as Super Castlevania IV, so it's hard to tell.

I can never have enough Actraiser! Excellent rendition, thank you for the hard work, love it!

[@spoonybard13]

Is that church organ from YU-NO? Maybe my ears deceive me, but I thought it sounded familiar.

[@ChiptunedRaijin]

Yep. That's the one. It sounds perfect, so no point making my own when there's no way I can top that.

[@spoonybard13]

Yeah, I agree. I used it for my cover of Megalomania from Live-A-Live, but I'd like to use it in a lead role for a future remix.

[@yohkom.7988]

Once again crisper sound and higher quality drums than the SNES original but this time even more epic than your previous cover of this tune! Best version on all fronts :D

[@ArkaneX]

Dude this sounds amazing, I love it

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Good shit

[@heilong79]

This on has a deeper sound than the original and does not sound harsh at all, impressed.

[@vembrace]

Better than the original.

[@DehnusNorder]

Nothing like that Arcade sound :). WIth proper bass on speakers Meg can just sound awesome! :).

[@deadpenguinss]

Holy shiet sir, you NAILED this tune. Can't give enough props

[@xenobytek9583]

As it should be, made for Genesis! Just great man!

[@nathandaniels4823]

You killed it!

Awesome

[@olaafthundaar5018]

The Super Nintendo generally sounds & looks better to me. Even still, I am a Genesis/Mega Drive Fan. This Actraiser cover is above & beyond the SNES version. It sounds like Redbook Audio.

[@danmakuman]

This is basically the best version of this tune, even more than Yuzo's original.

[@DehnusNorder]

Jup but that's not Yuzo's fault. Yuzo couldn't help that a SNES hits you in the face like a solid brick wall in their instruments. Seriously it is like Ken Kutaragi is ramming samples repeatedly into my mouth when I listen to that thing, and it has not been properly programmed by someone that realizes just how offensive "BAM BAM BAM BAM" as an ADSR pattern is for every sample. I mean Yamaha knows Music, and they know smoooth :).

[@RetroRanter]

Yuzo released his own version with a Grandia sound font on his twitter just today and it sounds amazing! This version here, is perfect though.

[@RetroRanter]

[@opaljk4835]

I love Yuzos og but this slammin

[@tycoinreno]

Nice use of the PSG channels for extra subtle accompaniment; helps this piece feel much richer than it otherwise would have!

[@GH_EmotionalGuy]

Nice instrumentation.

[@Retro_Royal]

great work!

[@thinkingmouse2751]

Holy shit

[@Peluche54]

Any chance to get the .vgm or the .dmf ? O:-)

[@welcometoGARYVILLE]

I would love to play this on full blast through real hardware - please can we make it happen? :D

[@getter7seven]

Yet more excellent~

[@videogameobsession]

Sounds great, but I assume this is a Genesis VST plug-in, or something. There is no way the Genesis can output drum samples this clear. I'm also a little skeptical on the Moog soloing sound.

[@ChiptunedRaijin]

100% authentic. Drum samples are from Vapor Trail on the Genesis.

[@videogameobsession]

@@ChiptunedRaijin Impressive. But is it being played on real hardware? It sounds like a ambient effect was added to make it sound more full. Just curious. It does sound great. Do you have a VGM sound files, or a playable .bin to play on a real model 1 system? Thanks.

[@ChiptunedRaijin]

@@videogameobsession It's not from hardware since I don't have a way to do that. It's from a VGM player. I have .bin and .vgm of course, but sorry, I don't pass those around.

[@arkanjoteixeira]

Holy cow, this is awesome

[@chiptunerat]

Is this being done on Genesis hardware?

[@ChiptunedRaijin]

I use software emulation (Deflemask Tracker), but yes, you could play them on real hardware without a problem.

[@t.c.b4722]

How do you get it so crisp sounding? I never remember my Genesis sounding that clear.

[@SwordsmanOrion]

No shade intended, but I have never heard a song on the genesis that actually sounded this good, other than Thunder Force 4

[@Minority119]

That's probably because not many actually tried to play to the soundchip's strengths Look up gleylancer or midnight resistance to see what the chip can do when taken to it's absolute limits

[@ChiptunedRaijin]

How is that shade? Sounds like a compliment to me.

[@blastprocessing6223]

The Genesis had alot of great music as good as this remix here is an example for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXXRk4uqp7WYf7M

Listen to Batman Gotham city streets on the Genesis it's great.

[@jkhj1479]

If i never play actraiser, I'll think this is castlevania music.

[@TheAlphaOmegaX3]

Not bad. Not bad at all. Original still the best, but you did a great job.

[@danmakuman]

For me this one tops the original tune, but of course is always a matter of tastes.

[@rebirthof4-waysli]

Very good, now please do the Actraiser 2, LOL, never going to happen, certain things that the genesis can do, owns the snes, other particular kinds of sounds = Snes eats the genesis for lunch, Love both systems equally, love live 16-bit era.
