Mega Man 11 - Menu (YM2612 Cover)

[@retrosoul8770]

Video game composers should take notes and compose their games using Sega Genesis hardware! Hah this is friggin awesome

[@solarflare9078]

Exactly. The YM2612 deserves more love

[@EdgeHM]

Or at least stop using that shitty synth.

[@yohkom.7988]

The YM2612 but also the SN76496! This sound chip combination simply does wonder in the right hands.

[@colonelsandwich641]

Yeah that PSG really does add an extra bit of punch if used correctly

[@Jeatkid]

Etrain Odyssey sort of does that.

[@BladeShadowWing]

This sounds so good, it makes me believe the original is meant to sound like this!

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

I don't even need to listen to the original soundtrack to know that Gecko's version is better. This is sublime bro

[@jc_dogen]

lmao

[@Evaldas256]

Whenever i do, i'm astonished by how much better his versions are :D

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

@@Evaldas256 I've listened to the original now, it's not a patch on his version but it's actually not bad. The original has terrible mixing down though the drums weren't loud enouh

[@ivanmegafanboy1981]

Are you up to the challenge of doing some megaman 11?

[@JoLiKMC]

Gecko Yamari is still around? This is news to me. It's also news to me that _you're_ still around, Renegade. ;)

[@omiglio]

I love the Genesis so much. Thank you Savaged Regime! You're a Legend...Forever!

[@metr0nom314]

I imagine an alternate universe were mega man was primarily on the genesis, we'd have tons of these tracks already

[@ZeroJanitor]

damn look at those 60fps waveforms hell yeah!!!

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

SavagedRegime = the goat 🐐

[@NTGTechnology]

It's amazing how much better this sounds in comparison to the original. The original was kinda flat and generic, while this sounds very nice and less generic. It's amazing what old FM synthesis can do to modern composition and still sound amazing at the same time.

[@kladhun4165]

Gotta 100% disagree with you on that one.

[@ryuketsuekiofficial]

I didn't know MegaMan was in Freedom Planet. xD

[@boynextdoorman]

One of my favorite piece from MM11. Thanks a bunch!

[@SimonsChannel]

Just the sexiest bass

[@SuperPiposaru]

Just the sexiest forte

[@solarflare9078]

Yes! YES! *YEEEESSSS!!!* MEGA MAN 11 GENESIS REMIXES!!!

[@GigaBoots]

Nice!

[@Dreigonix]

WHADDUP BOYS

[@Gael32]

Well I'm taken aback by how much better this sounds than the original. It sounds even more "Megaman" than what Capcom put out.

[@HyperComboEx]

Perfect timing playing this right now lol. Need that stage select asap!!

[@Jako3334074]

That was quick

[@haferstenproductions3515]

This sounds so good! Especially the drum samples.

[@SebasHCG]

🎵 A-MA-ZING !!! 🎵 too short, too good, need more MM11 YM2612 !!!

[@xenobytek9583]

Bro. Its amazing. Was not only me that listened the orignal OST and think that fits or sound like genesis on your composition. Soo good. Thanks

[@Lopson13]

Incredible job, congrats!

[@masterfurry2175]

amazing as usually thanks dude

[@raikohzx4323]

Some severe Mega Man 8 vibes, man.

[@Davidevgen]

Dang man this is amazing for genesis sound hardware :P im used to genesis being really rough sounding but you managed to make it sound smooth and almost non genesis sounding :P

[@solarflare9078]

That's the thing. Most people are used to hearing crappy GEMS OSTs (see also: Savaged Regime's 2021 April Fools joke), but good MD composers back then, mainly Japanese ones, can make games sound great like this.

[@machinaeZER0]

Hey man, would you ever consider a cover of something from the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack? I feel like you would put a really cool spin on some of the more techno-y tracks. :) Either way, friggin incredible cover! Your work is consistently amazing.

[@SN_268]

beautiful

[@ZZtheDark]

Disco and techno up in dis bitch!! OW!

[@DehnusNorder]

Those are some VERY interesting wave forms :)

[@CyberDragonEX13]

I just now found this and really like this over the original. Good work.

[@GenMD]

Fantastic as usual.

[@OldYagamikun]

This is awesome! Thanks!

[@ryzmaker11]

Wow, fab work!

[@nathandaniels4823]

FANTASTIC. I'd be interested to hear this on original hardware. There are a few games with samples this clean, but only a scant few composers/sound programmers could pull it off(I'm looking at YOU, Shaun Hollingworth, and You, Data East)....

[@RandomInnVGMs]

It sounds the same. If you are supporting him on patreon, he gives away download links for .vgm files which you can play on original hardware.

[@Dirk1Steele]

Having just listened to the original before this, I honestly think this sounds better. A richer sound.

[@VyxiMainchannel35]

Cool

[@DukeOnkledNukem]

better than the original lmao

[@madmax2069]

Wow

[@ace3093]

This is so much better then original.

[@xenniealchayliss2489]

SOUNDS GOOD AS FUCK SEGA!

[@getter7seven]

Unstoppable.

[@mid-jump_attack]

Wow! Sounds great! Now we just need the rest of the games ported. ha ha

[@火災のアイスクリーム]

Wooow! Is this really a YM2612 sound?

[@retrosoul8770]

Yes sir!

[@ethograb]

The Genesis has so much personality! So much potential in that little console. So much it can do. In the hands of master like SR you can start to see it.

[@Folfah]

holy f**k. it always astounds me how i can love this as much as a full orchestra. weird how humans are

[@mypkamax]

Mega Man: New Wily Wars?

[@shintenku]

Now i know why MM11 Soundtrack felt so flat compared to the previous MM games , As u expected the composers got so lazy but you Gecko , You are something different fella , You have out-shined the og and the composer herself , I am so proud of you , Can't bloody wait to hear your MMX 4 5 6 works , those 3 especially has the best soundtrack in the X series .

[@Cinko420]

Madari Mr Sparda Gotta disagree with you on the OST being lazy. Acid Man, Gear Fortress, Fuse Man, the Boss Theme, Blast Man and Bounce Man all sound amazing imo.

[@solekman916]

Can you please do fuse man,impact man,and tje the wily stage theme?

[@Lavagemstomacal]

Better then the original

[@SixtyforceYTP]

[@iDarthDub]

The Mega Man 11 OST is good, however they didn't do a good job when mixing.

[@alonsojett]

PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE SOME MORE

[@_skysick_]

Any external effects? I hear some delay; is that just YM2612?

[@XBladenoJutsu]

It's a technique which old games used, typically referred to as single channel echo, where you repeat a section of notes at a lower volume.

[@bondosho]

Or play the same note on another channel. In Streets of Rage 2, some of the Roland piano samples took up to 3 channels.

[@XBladenoJutsu]

Roland Piano samples... The Genesis only has 1 sample channel, and 98% or 99% of games which use samples at all use it for drums. The Genesis generates sound internally by programming operators. That Piano is pure FM.

[@bondosho]

Must have been a Roland FM patch converted to work on the Yamaha.

[@XBladenoJutsu]

No, you can't just convert samples to FM. You have to manually program the sound from scratch. Besides, he's been using that FM Piano since the 80s, so it's more likely he heard some of Sega's Arcade games and tried to replicate that sound.

[@lilim887]

wtf :D

[@JoLiKMC]

Not even your magnificent skills with the Yamaha sound chip can save this soundtrack.
