Desire - Haitoku no Rasen. Look it up, worth every second if you play it to the end. And keep the OST playing, it's marvellous.

[@noobtracker]

um ... what I could find out about that game suggests that it's pr0n or at least pretty edgy ... but I agree, the music (or at least this track) is amazing

3 years old video. 6k+ views. Not a single dislike. Not an easy achievement.

this Yamaha YM2203 model, was to be mounted in the Atari ST. Unfortunately, personal reasons meant that the Atari ST had the much weaker YM2149...Shame...

i wish there were a lot of videos with the wavelengths of songs in them. there's a ton of pc-98 soundtracks that i would love to see like this.

[@pc-98love39]

I haven't been very active but I can accept suggestions!

[@mechwarreir2]

update to your wish: they are now everywhere lol

[@virajkhatri7574]

add "oscilloscope view" to your youtube search to find tons of these videos

Sweet. Subscribed

Hi, please, is possible somewhere find this nice song in s98 file format? Thanks a lot.

Nice! :)

Does the OPN chip allow operator splitting like with "special channel 3 mode" on MD/OPN2? It sounds like it since they use echo on a single channel at 2:51 here. Unless that's chorus using the DT effects. Edit: Seems it does from the documentation.

[@___xyz___]

You are clearly more experienced with FM chips than me, but I daresay they do not have the capability of delay as we are familiar with it today. And I am not able to make out the delay-like recursion effect at 2:51. As far as I know, sound designers cleverly used multiple channels to simulate effects, even sharing load on single channels for both basslines, melodies and percussion, akin to what one may do with the Gameboy DMG-CPU. And I believe this boils down to physical engineering restrictions. But I could be mistaken about this. Do share your thoughts on this.

[@NoyemiK]

@@___xyz___ the OPN series all have a special extended addressing mode on FM Channel 3 which allows you to individually trigger/control the pitch on each operator. So you could split FM3 into up to all 4 of its constituent operators and use all of them as individual voices, though they'd all be carrier-only except for Operator 1, which can self-modulate. Hope that helps! This track actually does make use of the FM3 extension feature to get two voices in the chorus near the end.

[@RoddyDev]

It's very noticeable in 3:17

[@Alianger]

@@RoddyDev Yeah I've since had a look at some instruments by ripping them via hoot player and it does have that mode, a 4-op instrument is split up in two and half of its notes delayed (placed later in the tracker or whatever tool was used) to simulate echo. You can also have 4 separate 1-op instruments if such an algorithm is used and you can detune one ore more operators for chorus or dissonance.

[@UnseenMenace]

Anyone know where I can download VGM files of this soundtrack? I can only find the FM-Towns version which I don't think sounds quite as good somehow.

[@fygarOnTheRun]

Great tune and awesome bass! But the heavy click at the onset of the bassdrum is a bit hard on the ears 🙉

[@TheLoveMario]

Do the square waves come from a separate AY chip?

[@ridley2333]

3 months late but no. The ym2203 had the AY chip built in

[@AloanMoreira1]

Is there a free 2203 VST somewhere for windows?

[@pc-98love39]

there's not, but you can get close enough to it using VOPM

[@AloanMoreira1]

@@pc-98love39 I found at least a tracker called TFM music maker which uses the YM2203! but sadly it does not acept midi files. I'd have to learn how to compose using it

[@Nikku4211]

There's now BambooTracker, if you want to be able to use the SSG.

[@Jiskster]

@@Nikku4211 theres now furnace tracker but that doesnt mean bambootracker isnt good
