Mega Man 4 - Dive Man (YM2612 Cover)

What's with with you finding these cursed images?

Who knows.

[@messiahmozgus]

Blessed images.

Nothing about Diesel Man is cursed! (Mega Vin?)

Megaman fights for what's most important...family.

[@ThugDracula]

You're one of the few cover artists out there who regularly improves upon the track they're covering. It's not even up for debate, this is by far the best interpretation of Dive Man's theme out there.

[@Nehfarius]

Idunno, RushJet's got a pretty good one too. But then, it's a swing track, so...

[@djipminderman4840]

@@Nehfarius I feel that remixes that take the song in a different direction fall into a separate category, though it is a pretty nice rendition for sure

[@elmetalico4571]

I enjoy more the Senoue take on this theme

[@GaliMercury]

I dunno what the hell people are going on about with this "Din Viesel" nonsense. That looks just like the real Mega Man to me.

[@bluefin844]

Damn this could very well fit with the upcoming Megaman fangame, The Sequel Wars.

[@woodfrog9614]

Incredible arrangement as always! A perfect mix of the PS1 version with the grittier instruments of the Genesis. Deliciously groovy. Just saying, there's a _certain MM4 Genesis remake_ that would love to use this theme in-game : P Either way keep up the great work!

Sounds like nice Rockman Complete Works version in 16-bit glory) Banger as usual! Keep it up)

[@direktexe8436]

Kinda does with the amount of hammond organ usage

[@lucasmarcall]

Agree! And by far is my favorite version of his theme, its catchy, its melodic and is amazing.

[@SaviourV]

Which came from "Rockman: The Power Fighters", in fact. A good take on that version of the original theme, in my humble opinion. ☺👍

[@jayonagame]

Absolute amazing Those bass, drums and FM guitar instruments are heavenly :'

[@ryanhenderson6815]

Is that Vin Diesel as Mega Man?

ooh nice, the Power Fighters version

Nope. Not until Power fighters 2.

[@samirjohnson4524]

Yeh

[@MorrisChannel4]

How you are using the PSG channels is wonderful. Some of the best sounding square waves iv heard

[@rexthesheep]

Not that you don't deserve credit for this amazing work, but not enough people in the comments realise that this takes inspiration from the rendition of this song from the CPS-2 arcade game Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (and later reused in Rockman 4 Complete Works) and are complimenting you on the liberties taken and I don't know how to feel about that. Yes this is awesome and better than the original in some ways, but then so was the version that this cover builds on. ^^;

[@64Abstract]

holy cow thats some clean sounding instrument and mixing!

[@vivach4rly313]

Savaged Remix ft. Vin Diesel as Rockman Great job!

[@justdandan2]

Hearing this cover after playing the Sequel Wars was a treat to my ears

[@redandblack641]

This pops up right after playing through a demo of The Sequel Wars. Would be cool if there were an option to switch to your tracks since there's already 2 soundtracks for it.

[@ActEsper]

SICK COVER. I love watching the bass waveform.

[@zeromythosver.]

Average Mega Man enjoyer:

[@DanielSavageOnGooglePlus]

Really lovely stuff! If this was to be integrated into a Genesis game, would there be PCM memory or sound driver considerations to take into account? That said, I'm not sure if this is a big priority for these sorts of arrangements.

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

Yes, this song uses all channels almost all the time, so some instruments will get cut off when an sfx is played. Other than that, it is possible to use this song on a game as it is. We cannot see how the song is written here, but with the correct pattern repetition for each channel to make the song light it is possible to use this song on a real game, those samples sound like they may use some space, but you can use the same samples for all the other songs too.

[@HP-qq3nn]

@@MartinAlejandroLiguori watch the video again, psg3 is free 100% of the time

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

@@HP-qq3nn yes i know, and I can see that you made this comment without knowing anything about the hardware... this is why people need to understand that making music for real hardware is important and it cannot be faked with midi. PSG3 is one of the channels that uses the sound chip also used on the sega master system, this chip has many limitations and one of those limitations is that you cannot use the third channel while the fourth one is been used as a noise channel. That's why Savage is not using it, he can't....well.. he can, but it will break the noise on channel four if he does... so he has to keep channel 3 free. That means that you cannot use this channel for sfx while the song is been played, or if you do it, you need to know that channel 4 will be modified by it.

[@RT55J]

@@MartinAlejandroLiguori Interesting. For some reason I thought that PSG3 only needed to be silent when the noise channel was in periodic mode.

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

@@RT55J yes, you can use it, i made some songs with it, but like you said it's another mode that will cripple the ability to produce noise in any frequency. You can also use it when the noise channel is silent, if you have the space between your noise notes.

[@NoahNCopeland]

Who needs reploids when you got family

[@protocetid]

the guitars are sublime, the entire thing is

[@VastGecko909]

For a moment there i thought that was speedball 2 art, great cover as always! I was wondering how do you manage to get such clean sounding drums out of the pcm sample playback? Is it a DefleMask feature or do you pre-process your samples to get the best frequency response on genesis playback?

[@RetroGames4K]

I thought it too lol...

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

I'm not sure but he may be recording directly from Deflemask or Furnace tracker disabling "Ladder Effect" or using one of those golden Sega Genesis with good filtering. The sega genesis can have a really good sound on the right machine. Check this example I made for Sega Genesis too with high quality samples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jNoHqnidKAkMU

[@direktexe8436]

He makes his own samples

[@VastGecko909]

@@MartinAlejandroLiguori Thanks for the insight, yeah the vocal samples do sound nice and clean on your track too guess the vst i was using was a bit too agressive downsampling the drum samples. It seems like most of the vst's don't output .vgm for hardware playback so I guess ill have to try deflemask proper.

[@SneakyFox195]

The man is back with another banger! 🙌😤🙌

[@EdvinDraw]

I like the Power Fighters' version of Dive Man's theme, so thumbs up! 👍

[@dustinramsey1198]

[@emmanueloverrated]

Megaman 4 original arrangements were weak compared the other titles on that platform. Thanks for fixing that!! Impressive work!

[@squirtle0528]

this is so absurdly good. what the heck even.

[@Kryptnyt]

These megaman 4 images go way hard

[@ErrorMacroBand]

Fantastic cover, as usual. I love the liberties you took with the arrangement. I always thought Mega Man 4 had a particularly good soundtrack when compared to the the rest of the NES titles and Dive Man was always one of my favorites. Great job!

[@scroopynoopers9824]

Those images add so much character to this

[@teckworks]

Man, if only wily wars sounded this fuckin' baller. ♥

[@GlitchyJames]

I was literally watching a video about Mega Man 4. I'm scared now but great remix like usual!

[@xGMV]

You're back! And with a blast, no pun intended. Although I'm curious, would this sound any different with the YM2151?

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

Yes and no... you can recreate the song to sound the same but you do not have the master system chip and no ladder effect... so it will always sound a little more clean. You also have more channels on that chip and you cannot reproduce samples... you need another chip to do that.

[@xGMV]

@@MartinAlejandroLiguori It can be paired with PCM no? I always liked FM Synth but not as much as I do today to the point of knowing chip names and what machine used them, and channels like this one are just godly.

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

@@xGMV yes it can be paired with another pcm chip, sega for example used sega pcm.
