Sonic CD (JP) - Quartz Quadrant Good Future - Oscilloscope Deconstruction (Project Files in Desc.)

QQGF is a pretty simple track all things considered. Took about a day total to remake. Everything is its original source except for the pizzicato.

I almost cried here. This track is so beautiful, I can't believe a human made this.

[@MastaGambit]

This is how I prefer to view it: Only a human could make this

1:31 is what you hear when you go to heaven

[@logan_cadfgs]

uhhh just wanna say it’s kinda nuts that y’all are tracking down the original instruments for these tracks and deconstructing them like this (I’m assuming by ear). Thanks so much for your efforts

[@-the_lumberjack-]

Thank you for the commission, it's downright beautiful. 90's SEGA would salute you.

[@POMiller07]

One of the best songs in Sonic CD

[@Abandoned88]

I almost cried at 1:31.

[@Krutons]

I had sleep paralysis but the only thing that i experienced was a really loud and vivid auditory hallucination of this video for like 5 minutes

[@AS42100]

As someone who has frequent sleep paralysis, that is an awesome thing to hallucinate!!! Usually for me it’s just the sound and feeling of wind blowing in my face. lol

[@dilldall2080]

Awesome job, the bass of the song is just amazing. Can't wait to see the deconstruction of Tidal Tempest Present.

[@DeniseKazooie]

i always loved tidal tempest good future but there’s a custom sine preset iirc that might be hard to remake

[@tttdssdff2267]

OH YEEESSSS

[@avonire]

This is beautiful. Without the sound effects and rings, just listening to each of the instruments makes you appreciate this art so much more

[@FieryN8]

Easily top 5 CD tracks. Really really cool seeing this deconstructed, I love it

[@pinkplight9992]

Bruh 2:13 is the most beautiful thing ive heard in my life. 😢❤❤

[@koi_sakana]

This is amazing. Never thought we would get accurate oscilloscope versions of these Sonic CD songs! This one in particular is just beautiful.

[@NewtubeWorldYT]

[@johnleone1996]

Easily one of the most chill songs in the entire franchise☺️😌

[@LongSinceDead1]

Amazing! God I’ve always loved how the Baroque Strings are used in this track

[@skylartekio]

I never ever thought id ever get to hear a good future song deconstructed. Thank you for posting this!

[@cheetodoesyourmom9889]

Was concerned about what the drums originated from. Thank you for this

[@AS42100]

Thank you so much for making these videos public again!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@sonikku1011]

Thank you for making this! It's probably my fourth or fifth favorite song in the game. The string pad and bass are probably my favorite instruments in the track. They really make the song feel nostalgic and fits a perfect fall or spring day.

[@ojedaojeda4770]

This is beautiful. Can't wait to hear Stardust Speedway Good Future being broken down.

Thank you for this one this is one of my favorite tracks from the game actually I see you did the bad future music as well which is pretty nice

[@N.K.S.R-Works]

Essa Sem Sombra de Duvida é a Musica Mais Linda do Jogo e uma das Mais Lindas que ouvi Atualmente, Musicas com essa Fusão de Eletronico e Acustico com uma Vibe anos 80/90 Fazem falta, Tudo Fica Incrivel

[@Tor-Erik]

Finally someone does the Sonic CD. I were hoping the KZbinr carpathia808 to deconstruct Sonic CD musics. Are you planning to do Collusion Chaos Good future as well?

[@NUKELEDGE]

Yes

[@Tor-Erik]

Great! Looking forward to that.

[@Turbulation1]

You can't exactly "deconstruct" most of Sonic CD's music since all present, bad future, and good future tracks are in wave form so you can't separate all the individual channels unless you use specific software to AI isolate them which they won't be in ideal quality. So the best way to do it would be by recreating all the tracks with their original instruments as much as possible, which is what's being done here (and carpathia808 probably doesn't have the skills to do something this big so don't blame him for not doing it). Though it does take a ton of effort to do because you'll have to actually buy the original equipment which can be 1000$+.

[@wholder9887]

I was expecting this, thank you bro

[@SilencePlains]

Still pretty hype for Tidal Tempest zone hope its going good, good job

[@jesse4437]

this is amazing, could you possibly do the present version??

[@Turbulation1]

It's in the works since a W.I.P video was done on the channel, though right now it seems like the brass needs to be located alongside a few other instruments.

[@Penkino]

1:32 pacific 707 vibes wtf

[@pi_dev]

damn... i really wish i could know where that string pad is from. it's not listed on the VGM findings sheet :(

[@NUKELEDGE]

Oh, that one is missing on the sheet actually. KORG 01/W -> PROG -> Bank A -> A27 Analog Pad

[@pi_dev]

@@NUKELEDGE thank you :)

[@jeremy5434]

This is amazing! How did you do this?

[@BoredSquidward]

Sonic CD uses streamed audio, unlike, for example, Ristar, wich uses the Sega Genesis' soundchip. To deconstruct it, he needed to remake the track using it's original instruments. (Polestar Magnetics: The X-Static Goldmine; Korg 01/W; etc).

[@jeremy5434]

@@BoredSquidward Wow, that's impressive.

[@oof2568]

[@Dchdxtm8]

0:32 are you sure, that it's a musette, sounds more like harmonica

[@NUKELEDGE]

The patch name is "Musette" on the 01/W.

ok@@NUKELEDGE

[@coreymjohnson8115]

This is so GOOD

[@PKSuperStar256]

That brass sound like a mix of that one from the Sound Canvas(?) (I think a version was used in Kirby Super Star's King Dedede theme and in various tracks in Kirby 64) and some other brass sound.

[@pi_dev]

the brass is a Roland D-70 patch called "Mix Brass"

[@PKSuperStar256]

@@pi_dev, I get it. It's a mix. I wonder what it was mixed with.

[@BoredSquidward]

@@PKSuperStar256 It was probably mixed with JD-800 brass.

This kicks ass, I do this sort of thing too (but for the Rayman series). What's the origin of the breakbeat sample, bass and sustain strings/string pad? I couldn't find it in the VGM Sound Sources Sheet.

[@NUKELEDGE]

Breakbeat: Zero-G Datafile 2 -> Track 08 -> TS 0:19 Bass: Polestar Magnetics The X-Static Goldmine -> CD 2 -> Track 14 - FAT BASS 1 -> TS 0:20 Sustain Strings: KORG 01/W -> PROG -> Bank A -> A07 TheStrings Pad: KORG 01/W -> PROG -> Bank A -> A27 Analog Pad
