[@supermidipak]

This is a dream

[@emperorbohe]

thank you! would not have been possible without you and the Super Midi Pak 🙇‍♂️

[@RareSun]

This Reminds me of the early 2000s. Massively underrated

[@CH32mix]

"and just to prove this is a real super nintendo, i'm using the most yellowed one i could find" ok j/k this is so cool man!

[@emperorbohe]

lmao. yeah mine yellowed to the maximum, but this is the same SNES that i've had since i was a little kid lol.

[@NinoJoel]

If it brothers you there are easy ways to get it back to normal using ozone and IV light

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

Classic old School House Music stuff nice

[@XyNoST]

Sick track ! I really want to get a cart and do some oldskool rave with my MPC1000

[@sbriggs101]

Everything about this video screams aesthetic vaporwave. I love it

[@tracelistener]

This is beautiful!

[@EnzoCapun]

this vibe is a 10/10

[@alderxjambo]

such a vibe

[@StephenMcLeod]

Yass

Damn I love this

3:52 now *this* is podracing

[@emperorbohe]

shout outs to Jar Jar?

[@andresosorioferrer3672]

Fantastico!

[@johneygd]

Just awesome, now i do wonder if it also could be used on a digital audio modded snes to make sure that it does not sneakingly use those external sound pins for it’s own soundchip. In other word i suppose this midi cartride does not allow external sound right?

[@emperorbohe]

there is no sound output on the cart itself, all audio is coming from the SNES output. the 3.5 jacks on the cart are for midi only.

[@rissa7046]

Wow, very cool

[@LStuff88]

Mann the armony and atmosphere soo groovy, keep shutting With this🎛️🎚️🤌🏻🔥

[@KamiyuGamiere]

legendary

[@MichaelZodok]

Dope!!

[@R3TR0--93]

glow from ridge racer 4?

[@emperorbohe]

i didn't sample it on this, however the Ridge Racer 4 soundtrack has always been a huge influence on me so i might have subconsciously been influenced by it while making this lol.

[@livvy94]

Nice job!

[@ritofuturito]

🔥🔥🔥

[@SonicVibe]

Dope

[@emperorbohe]

thank u!

[@agit5270]

Fuck, i have to get my hands on that cartridge

[@emperorbohe]

I think more are in production!

[@BlueMayze]

Release the song this is good

[@emperorbohe]

i'm thinking about it, might arrange it further and then drop it as a single.

[@devondetroit2529]

Nice, how do you get the samples drum hits onto the snes ?

[@emperorbohe]

I used the Super Midi Pak cartridge to transfer sounds over. There was a lot of processing before hand that had to be done as well to make sure that it would fit in the limited SNES memory.

[@streety301]

BRUHHHHHHHHHHHH its sold out!!!

[@emperorbohe]

join their discord so that u can get alerts when they're back in stock. definitely a fun cartridge to have on hand haha.

[@streety301]

Real minds think alike u know I already did Brody thanks for putting me on

[@emperorbohe]

@@streety301 hope u can get one soon!

[@meindlig]

I heard they might only be doing one run of these? Did they decide to make another run? I'm glad I got mine. Still haven't used it yet. Going to this weekend fo sho! Groovy track btw. Happy to see someone making something legit with the super midi pak!

[@Alyxandr]

It's really repetitive and I feel like it holds the song back a lot, but I like the overall vibe of it.

[@emperorbohe]

i agree, but i got lost in the sauce when recording the video so i didn't realize how long i was recording lmao

[@madelinehoyle1059]

Considering the SNES had sample-based audio... why would this even be desirable in the first place? I feel like the Sega Genesis would be a more desirable console to turn into a dedicated synth.

[@projectz975]

Why use a Genesis when a modern synth would sound way better?

[@emperorbohe]

i've been looking into Genesis midi solutions but most have been sold out unfortunately.

[@madelinehoyle1059]

@@projectz975 what metric are you using when you say modern synths "sound better"? The Yamaha YM2616 FM chip in the Genesis has a very unique and desirable retro FM sound for chiptune music especially. I'm not sure you achieve the same sounds with something like the Korg OPSIX or Elektron Digitone.

[@projectz975]

@@madelinehoyle1059 just making the point that everyone finds different gear interesting for different reasons. using the SNES to make music isnt cool because its the """best""" tool, its cool cause its a SNES.

[@madelinehoyle1059]

@@projectz975 I said "desirable", not "best". Very different meaning. The SNES as a sample player is a novelty, sure, but this is similarly interesting to playing an externally sequenced track using the exact same samples on something like an early Akai rack-mount sampler, or really any other device capable of PCM. This is so different from other old game consoles which have unique synthesis silicon and can't be replicated 1:1 on contemporary gear.

[@vel2118]

I wonder if the super midi pak is compatible with the hyperkin supaboy; I'd like to connect it to my pocket operator and jam on the go

[@emperorbohe]

I think some people in the discord were saying that it isn't 100% compatible, however not too sure of the details
