[@diceLibrarian]

I'm speaking for Capathia808 because they won't say: STOP ASKING FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE! Only the Past songs can be deconstruced as they are stored in a channel-based format while the Present and Future songs are stored in as can be best approximated by modern formats: Wav (Apparently) Wav stores a Waveform which media players can then play back, these files can get quite large which is why I said MP3.

[@TheVoidMachineSystem]

That's something I did not know. Pretty cool to learn how these old games worked

@@andytheezboy2903 I can def agree with what you have listed for the good and bad future. I dont get house out of this theme because the bounce just ain't right for it. I get the jazz and hip-hop influences but that basically describes what NJS was built off ( in addition to R&B). And when I said present is house with NJS elements I meant like as far as instrumentation yes I get heavy NJS vibes, but because of the way the percussion was set up, its house. Or hip-house even (Which I didnt know was a thing for a while lol).

Here’s a little FYI for those who want carpathia808 to deconstruct the present, bad, and good future themes from Sonic CD: The past themes are stored in a channel-based format where as the present, bad, and good future themes are stored in as the can be best approximated modern formats: mp3. Fun Fact: It’s the reason the past themes don’t change in the US soundtrack and it’s also why the other songs don’t loop properly in-game.

[@Dave_Chrome]

Thank you for making this comment, I was wondering why there was a Sonic CD Past themes deconstructed playlist and no other time period themes from CD

[@cookiesrawesomee]

to be specific, it's stored as redbook audio

[@dustytux]

It's just raw cd audio at 1400kbps bitrate.

[@lpapyrusbankai]

Another Fun Fact: US soundtrack really don't want to do past tracks due to deadlines, i think. Makes me wonder why they didn't do it in the first place consider they did the present, good and bad futures.

[@neonnoir9692]

I still remember hearing the hissing sound of my Sega CD as it had to spin up for every reply of present and future.

[@axtonganha]

This reverb in every channel 0 and 2 make this music so much like your singing in the city of Stardust, i mean imagine at 0:24 2:24 2:40 you play this instrument live at the Stardust Speedway Past zone because that beautiful reverb of music feel you in that zone! with sunset almost night sky and also i see the mountain far away from this zone

[@Saxdude26]

The reverb is so beautiful to see assembled by layer. Makes the eyes and ears happy. And then you hit the bass and drum immediately after. 👏

I think that the hi-hat sound since 4:33 in Channel 5 is from the Roland TR-909 drum machine. When I heard for the first time, I thought that came from a drum machine, in specific, the TR-808 but it's really from the TR-909. Edit: Great deconstruction!

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

Well, one instrument less. I didn't know what drum machine was used, but I was always sure that the composers had used the Korg M1 and the Roland D-50 (and/or maybe the SC-55) to compose the music of this game. I remember that there was a forum around 2009 where some people were debating about which synthesizers and drum machines were used to compose this soundtrack. Sadly, that forum is dead so i've never managed to know the identity of the instruments used in this OST. It's nice to know now what drum machine was used in this theme.

[@BouncyGlowsMusicRoom]

@@TheSuperPlayer707 The Japanese soundtrack of Sonic CD relied heavily on Datafile, X-Static Goldmine, the Korg 01/w, the Korg Wavestation, and the Roland D-70. I and a couple of others are currently tracking down the sources of the instruments.

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

@@BouncyGlowsMusicRoom WOW!!! Thank you so much! I was sure that the game used the Korg Wavestation+M1, but with the rest of the synthesizers I was close.

Легенда о мелодиях в играх по Сонику! По моему мнению, все саундтреки - это то, что представляет в своей голове Соник, когда прогуливается по зонам. По настроению и по своей натуре. А также по симпатии. (Я тоже иногда придумываю биты находясь в разных обстановках и местах. Но в основном подходит музыка из игр по Сонику, поскольку многие места, которые я видел похожи на те, что попадались в играх) Когда я из Гагарина ехал в Москву я включал мелодии: "Sky Chase" (Orchestra version) (Когда было ярко, солнечно, много причудливых облаков, и свободной от леса территорий) "Star Light" ( не помню когда) "Stardust Speedway (bad future - JP)" (В области многих домов и просто так) "Scrap Brain Zone" (Когда был Зелёный забор и куча зданий явно технологической промышленности) "Final Zone (remix Columns)" (Представлял битву Соника и Роботника) "Angel Island (act 1)" (Когда выехали, в местах, где вокруг был лес) "Spring Yard" (Когда только въехали в Москву, возле достопримечательностей, которые поражали меня своим величием! После этого хотелось бы увидеть достопримечательности в Мексике, Бразилии, Никарагуа и ещё некоторых стран) "Marble Garden" (Когда были подъёмы и спуски, в общем холмики, от которых я иногда подскакивал😅) "Door into Summer"(Knuckles' Chaotix) (Когда я только приехал к автобусу в Москву) "Go, go, Robo" (Sonic Mania - Vs Heavy Egg-robo) (представлял битву и погоню от Эгг-робо) "Metall-Sonic Boss" (Sonic Mania) (просто эпик на разветвлениях на дороге) "Chemical Plant Zone" (Когда были мосты над дорогой и всё это ближайшее время, до тех пор пока не наскучило 5-10 минут) "Level" (Shinobi - SEGA Master System) (Это подходило для одной местности, под Москвой) "Emerald Hill" (Для двух игроков) (Когда были чистые, свежие, зелёные поля!) "Hydrocity" (На высоких подъёмах и на мостах, а также в туалете(но это я уже проигрывал в голове, а не в телефоне)😅 "Knuckles' Theme" (из "Соник и Наклз", но объединённой с мелодией Наклза из "Соник 3") (Когда проезжал мимо храмов и церквей) Когда я уже был в Москве, то катался на теплоходе по Москве-реке и по этому случаю включал "Seascape" (из игры "Knuckles' Chaotix") И когда ехал обратно, то включал некоторые из мелодий перечисленных сверху, а также некоторые другие (я возвращался вечером) Кто сможет угадать (по желанию), тот сможет! ✨✨✨ Я желаю всём удачи и успехов!

BF: cyborg sonic and not metal sonic because then metal sonic wouldn't appear. Or you are metal and you are the boss fight against sonic. GF: a more pastel and bright and colorful sonic with bright red shoes, now with the modern golden buckle on the side of the shoe, and maybe some shades resting on his head, because it's the good future, what's there to worry about?
