Castlevania Portrait of Ruin - The Gears Go Awry (YM2612 Cover)

[@Exitialis]

It's a Yuzo Koshiro song, of course it sounds awesome on the Genesis hardware.

[@messiahmozgus]

Is it really? I hear that so much about tracks of this era and I never know if I should believe. But I got the dude's signature on SOR3's case; one of my most cherished gifts.

[@DehnusNorder]

It's a song, of course it sounds awesome on the G̶e̶n̶e̶s̶i̶s̶ Megadrive hardware. There I fixed your mistakes for you. I would also have accepted: It's a Yuzo Koshiro song, of course it sounds awesome on G̶e̶n̶e̶s̶i̶s̶ ANY hardware. :P

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

@@DehnusNorder True! I've heard a Super Mario 64 remix of this song and it sounded great!

[@Hwi1son]

I love that this is a sequel to bloodlines

Savaged Regime + Megadrive = MAGIC

Michiru Yamane + Yuzo Koshiro + Savaged Regime + Megadrive = EPIC

You are SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED. The way you engineer your sounds to do EXACTLY what you want is amazing. Please continue your music, count me as a follower. :))

[@bruhaha69]

Haven't heard this one in awhile. Great rendition

[@UTF8Youtube]

I just want to point out the bass line, which sounds really cool between 1:27 and 1:40 :)

[@yohkom.7988]

Brillant rendition!

[@shintenku]

Ohhh my god Savage what the hell did you do to my poor ears !!!!!!?? This is PHENOMENAL !!!!!!!!!!! , My oh my , Well done , never thought that this would sound so awesome in the YM2612 sound-chip , HOLY !!

[@teckworks]

Good choice, sir! A personal favorite of mine as well.

[@ryzmaker11]

Dunno about the original but love this anyway! The Mega Drive does wonder with orchestral music which is funny since this shatters another stupid misconception about the system.

[@knightshifter2201]

Only super Nintendo fan boys would think that lol.

[@ryzmaker11]

@@jc_dogen Well, there are contemporary drums and all but the track mainly revolves around organ as well as another instrument that I forgot the name yet (the one that starts @0:25 - edit: it's a (sort of) harpsichord as @Zzzzzx reminded me above) so it's "modern orchestral" :3

[@ryzmaker11]

@@knightshifter2201 Sadly not only as many magazines back then also talked shit about the MD sound. The Mega Drive has always been in a tough spot and somehow this makes it even more enjoyable to me since I always loved to dig underrated stuff.

[@Jako3334074]

@@ryzmaker11 Harpsichord?

[@ryzmaker11]

@@Jako3334074 I think you responded to the wrong comment but otherwise yes! It's a harpsichord that I was talking about. Thank you :) And so this is another classical instrument that the Mega Drive does particularly well.

[@Emppu91]

This is superb!

[@TohSummerBL2game]

holiest fck me. this is extremely fcking beautiful. thank you for making this.

[@NoaLee]

Amazing.

[@xenobytek9583]

Another great one.

[@Pelonchas02]

This is amazing!, I love that song

[@getter7seven]

Excellence.

[@X-RAGE]

Would like to see this in a real sega genesis game someday

[@RandomInnVGMs]

But for now you can be a patreon, download .vgm files and playback them on your Mega Drive or Genesis system.

[@Numocron]

This sounds tight right here man I love it. XD

[@raycastello2532]

amazing. Tienes el download de vgm?

[@ryanplays113]

ITS AWERSOME!!!

[@retrosoul8770]

Anyway could I plug this into my DS cart somehow lol?

[@sebastiann.8088]

@DPAD-FTW He means convert this so that it plays on his copy of Castlevania Portrait of Ruin for the DS.

[@SirDaShadow]

Can someone contact Bloodlines' music people and show them this?

[@zanegandini5350]

Michiru Yamane actually composed both soundtracks, and while Yuzo Koshiro didn't have his hand in Castlevania Bloodlines, he did compose soundtracks for the system, so they would both very much appreciate this.

[@ryzmaker11]

@@zanegandini5350 Most certainly. And Bloodlines soundtrack is fantastic anyway. Now if there are Mega Drive soundtracks that needed tweaks, it would be the likes of Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, The Lawnmower Man (this one only needs better snares but would make a huge difference) or Super Street Fighter II (which is not as bad as some people make it out to be but it's still rather lame).

[@HP-qq3nn]

this would run on hardware, but in reality youd need a few channels for simultanious sound fx so this couldnt necessarily run with a game. still VERY cool!

[@ryzmaker11]

@@HP-qq3nn From what I've been told, Savaged Regime music could play alongside a game running i.e. with sound FX and all. Maybe some channels would cut while some sound FX play (just like it happens with some games on competiting hardwares at the time anyway) but not even sure, depends of how it's handled. Also the Mega DRive has the DAC that can play 1 but also multiple samples depending of the sound driver used (up to 4 samples at once) so there are always solutions.

[@iwanttocomplain]

Hi. I really like these. It sounds almost like you've added effects in post processing...

[@sebastiann.8088]

Can you please do a genesis remix of Infinity Mijinion?

[@DixieChix]

What the hell happened to that Jail of Jewel cover you were making tho??? I really liked how it was going lol great job btw

[@DarkPuIse]

I'm actually really getting a Light Crusader vibe from this. Any chance that influenced your choice of sounds? :)

[@LordDeBahs]

more like actraiser . which is also composed by koshiro

[@sephiran973]

You better use Stone Circle at higher difficulties or else you'll get in trouble with those annoying Medusa heads

[@solarflare9078]

Can you do Rude Buster from Deltarune? I have yet to hear a proper Genesis remix that uses the YM2612 patches as good as you always make em!

[@rabolli1030]

Someone already did m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXOsdJaDlp5-pqM

[@solarflare9078]

That one sounds kinda crappy imo. Doesn't take the soundchip anywhere near its full potential.

[@madson-web]

As good as the original!

[@guiguisuperG]

Pimp my Sega Genesis!

[@aceofdatabase]

I like this more than the orig I think :)

[@8BitAvenger]

How are you working with these sounds? Hardware? Software? Not trying to copy your thing but do want to dip my toes in chip-tunes and I have no real clue where the entry points are.

[@RandomInnVGMs]

He uses Deflemask. It's a software in which you can make (genuine and ready to be played on original hardware) chiptune music.

[@thatotherguy1234]

Sorta unrelated but am I the only one who dislikes the genesis/megadrive controller?

[@rvbrexer]

which one, the "croissant" or the six buttons?

[@thatotherguy1234]

@@rvbrexer Both

[@rvbrexer]

@@thatotherguy1234 I agree on the 6 buttons (it's a little to small), but I like the croissant, and the d-pad of both.
