and here, ladies and gentlemen, is why the YM2612 is future-proof 🙄

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Dat phasing / modulation though 🔥

[@lovelywolf1947]

hell yeah

[@lovelywolf1947]

can you do it like this .......i mean like savaged regime when he did vecterman remix ? hhhh

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

lovely wolf If Savaged Regime has done it, it doesn't need to be done again.

[@lovelywolf1947]

right

[@lovelywolf1947]

but man i wish you made a good covers like ..golden axe 3.. street of rage 3..splatterhouse 3 . and more

[@raikohzx4323]

And suddenly you've turned Vectorman into Unreal in the good way, damn.

[@madmax2069]

@@shade221 I got that vibe as well

[@tahutoa]

Finally: Third Reality

[@TastySnax12]

Oh man, the YM2612 excells at house/rave tunes. This is extremely well done, and I'm particularly fond of the lead phasing.

[@retrofraction]

This sounds like the music at the time that they were trying to emulate... Dat 90s drum hits. Brings me back to Sandstorm in a good way. I love the sense of progression.

[@AAAAAA-ko1sc]

I just cannot believe this is YM2612 Absolutely incredible sound, well done!

[@TheMixedupstuff]

This uses the rarely used FM channel 3 split option. So you get 4 sine wave channels with their own respective envelopes.

[@Sinistar1983]

@@TheMixedupstuff I was wondering why I saw more than the usual standard 10

[@MegaDriveProfile]

I remember saying in another video of yours that I seriously wanted a vectorman track with some proper FM treatment and here you are!!! This sounds so damn good!!!

[@cd-rommasterclass19]

The heck with the modern cinematic games; this is how you get immersed from the get go! VectorMan, its graphics and music were out of this world at the time.

[@solarflare9078]

This is how Vectorman should've sounded

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Maybe on SEGA CD. lol

[@zalternative1]

Vectorman is so fucking juicy and oozes with retro vibes whenever I think about its pre rendered graphics or Jon Holland's excellent soundtrack. Vectorman has always been a technical marvel for me.

[@neptronix]

Wonderful!!! I'm bumping up my pledge from 4 dollars to 10 a month. Keep up the excellent work, sir.

[@8-bitBishop]

Wow. Headphones is a must. So damn cool.

[@Yuuretsu]

I was always hoping you'd get to Vectorman one day. This is one of your best achievements yet. Stage 3 would be the best remix I can imagine at this point.

[@retrofraction]

Marco Wolken I second this

[@kujiko88]

Oh wow, this is fantastic. I have to agree that the 2612 just does very well with this kind of music. Sounds so natural.

[@vuurniacsquarewave5091]

Holy shit, this is awesome, Channel 3 broken up into 4 operators is awesome, everything is awesome!

[@SpeedySPCFan]

Love the techno/trance vibe going on here. I had thought about tackling this track myself a while back but didn't know how to go about improving it, but that's a very clever way of doing it while still keeping the other feel in tact. Great use of TL modulation too!

[@WizzyWhipitWonderful]

Im 2 years too late, but you brought "Port" into 2021....FLAWLESS.

[@Soundole]

Wow man, you've taken an iconic track to another level. Awesome work.

[@djinn_tseng]

what a superb remix. i’m going to need all my old school games remade in this style, thanks.

[@avideogamemaster]

And this is why the genesis sound has aged better than the snes sound

[@ivgentis]

I beat this game three times but every time this plays in my mix I want to beat it again.

[@MrPCSniperFi]

I think the creators of the YM2612 themselves would be drooling over this

[@supersayianpeter10]

“Im rocking”

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Genesis and techno is like cookies and milk.

[@getter7seven]

Such tremendous jams~

[@chinossynthesizer705]

Sounds like fm synthesis

[@SpiralPegasus]

GOD DAMN IT SON _This_ is what I wanted Vectorman to sound like way back when I first played it!!

[@lordred7466]

Man, you just earned yourself a subscriber. Some seriously great work right there! I can't get enough of it!

[@PRINGLE2612]

This is awesome, vectorman had some great tunes but I felt like the instrumentation held it back a bit. You really nailed it! ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ ᶠᵒʳ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ˡᵒᵛᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵍᵒᵈ ʳᵉᵐᶦˣ ˢᵗᵃᵍᵉ ³

[@Sinistar1983]

You can thank the gems driver for the instrument hold back.

[@DeskoDev]

@@Sinistar1983 Despite all the GEMS gets hate it's a very flexible driver. The biggest problem it had was people recycling default patches and not having enough of an understanding of the YM2612 to make the instrumentation shine the way it should.

[@madmax2069]

@@DeskoDev yeah, GEMS could shine when handled properly, unfortunately you had many that didn't.

[@Oniphire]

As much as I'd like to have something intelligent & useful to say about your music, it's just not possible. Hearing your fully realized versions of the Genesis's sound chip, which already holds a special place in my heart, just evokes such visceral joy that it's hard for me to focus on anything else. Your work on XenoCrisis brought me here and I'm really glad it did. Thank you!

[@PassingTheJ]

I wish they remaster vectorman smh Nice arrangement my dude

[@retrogamelover2012]

If they did, this would obviously be used for the announcement trailer.

[@RCSXDV]

I am SUCH A FAN of Vectorman.

[@lovelywolf1947]

amazing savaged its so cool i love it

[@rumuelnathanael8043]

Kinda sounds like Street of Rage type of music. Love it!!!

[@nelsonjmeloni]

If at the time the mega-drive disputed territory with Snes, it was taken advantage of in this way, people would have another opinion about his sound these days! Amgio, if possible make the rearrangement of the ocean stage! The sound of this stage is wonderful! Congratulations on the work! Impressive!

[@sparkster7744]

This is so great

[@Synapse_Collapse]

Terraport remix? Hell yes! Excellent job, man - absolutely love what you did with it.

[@CyberDiver91]

Damn, I haven't heard something that made me bob my head to the beat instantly in a while. Nice job!

[@superandroidtron]

The original had good composition with mediocre GEMS instrumentation. You have elevated this piece to new levels, absolutely fantastic!

[@solarflare9078]

100% agreed, though Vectorman's OST did really grow on me.

[@dinojack9000]

Nice remix, I've been waiting for one like this for forever. Mad props

[@danmakuman]

Superior to the original one for me. I'm not a fan of Vectorman's soundtracks mostly because Jon Holland said in an interview that the Mega Drive wasn't capable of doing great music. Remember he said it was like trying to play an orchestra with an ukulele...and man he was totally wrong, so wrong that someone else surpassed his own composition right here.

[@AlexvrbX]

Someone should forward this to him. :D

[@gamerguy425]

I mean to be fair if you had to develop a triple A PS3 game to compete with modern day games, you'd kinda be pissed at the limitations and dated tools to make it too.... I think he proved himself wrong honestly XD

[@solarflare9078]

If this was 2018 me speaking to you, I would agree on not liking Vectorman's OST, but it really did grow onto me and now I love it. Give it a re-listen.

[@danmakuman]

@@solarflare9078 I'm not a fan but not saying isn't nice to listen, is just that it has that sour flavor because of that comment from the composer. Still even lots of his contemporaries back then created much better music on those supposely "weak" sound chips XD

[@slightlytwistedagain]

The only thing that really lets the FM chip down is that it's sine wave only, if it had more single cycle waveforms the sound would be even richer.

[@xyz39808]

Poor Ch3 doing all that work at once

[@facelesshalo5174]

Good shit.

[@sixteenbitter]

Brilliant.

[@DJNeoncat]

This is sick 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@Castawayplays4u]

One of the best this game needs a remaster/remake with this sound track he'll yeah baby everyone spam the devs that made that game let's do it fuck it

[@Numocron]

This sounds tight Savaged Regime, well done. :D

[@apollo53122]

This sounds so good. Well done, dude

[@budrush]

Make the Stage 3 - "Ocean"!

[@darkgriffin23]

This is really REALLY good, well done!

[@InvokeSoul]

Some way to put this music and the game together with a hack or something? :0000

[@bootmii98]

The original game used GEMS which has Channel 3 mode functionality and a patch editor. Get on it!

[@ShadowveilFox]

Huge fan of Vectorman. Here's to hoping someone starts a patreon to make Vectorman 3 with the same good ol graphics and music. None of this modern repetitive garbage we have today.

[@chinossynthesizer705]

The yamaha2612 is repetitive only 6 channels mate old techno is pretty repetitive

[@j0dgers]

This is soooo sick.

[@thesadmusicboy]

I Wanna be like so talented like you. I always learn something new on deflemask and famitracker.

[@tylerwerrin41]

this is amazing

[@nelsonianb1289]

Dewd noice!

[@B-rad_Games]

This is awesome!

[@Mykaizer]

I will pay actual money if you release a Super Star Soldier genesis cover!!! (and able to play it on an actual mega drive) You could even cover just one track from the ost and I would be happy!!! Make it happen!!

[@jam6000]

Big middle finger to those who down the 2612 . Savage you are a proof of concept. I Always show your work when I'm proving the potential of that chip I need a cartography of your stuff

[@sykodx469]

Groovy

[@Rand0_GUY]

This was the best remix I ever heard! Can you give us a way to download the music? That would be awesome!

[@lilmattere]

Is this possible to play on the original hardware?

[@ostradiemgi5469]

yeh

[@ps123fan]

vectorman insane gpx for the genesis

[@arcticridge]

..is this possible on the Genesis?

[@RetroGames4K]

Relly impressive, those hit hat sounds really sound like real techno music... well done!!! A lot better than the original... :-)

[@djbadboon]

hard trance (-:

[@jorgetorrez2796]

Excelent!

[@bennahum9642]

Where can one find those in VGM/VGZ/DMF format please? Would love to listen on my Everdrive.

[@bootmii98]

This is running off of Deflemask, he should make DMFs/VGZs a Patreon perk.

[@roilo8560]

What tracker is that?

[@mypkamax]

Vectorman Remastered?

[@thesamplemotion]

Never did get past Day 1...

[@fuzzybuzzy3159]

Fucking BOSS

[@LondenTower]

the original soundtrack actually used the GEMS sound driver and sounded pretty good for the time, but this remake just puts the original to shame. (and obviously Deflemask makes it really easy to create music for the genesis.)

[@nytr0s96]

can you just like. . . patch this music into vectorman and just like redo the entire ost? :D

[@justinsoul1281]

Can i use this song for my animation

[@cuer9949]

This sounds like some Timesplitters 2!!!

[@RCSXDV]

Can I use this song in my videos and give you credits for it?

[@Teebs1996]

MP3????

[@bennahum9642]

No one mastered this chip as well as you. Deflemask or not.

[@RandomInnVGMs]

DYA with cover of "Grape Soda" is close. :)

[@MastaGambit]

That's a pretty debatable claim, but he definitely has a strong understanding of OPN2

[@jlewis_yt]

Do you have a download link for the .vgm file???

[@Fl4v1en]

Only for his Patreons

[@turgo82]

What software do you use?

[@SixtyforceYTP]

[@riskvideos]

It sounds like what Jesper Kyd would've came up with if he took a whack at the vectorman soundtrack.

[@chinossynthesizer705]

Actually zyrinx is better then gems lol

[@tylerwerrin41]

Could this actually work on OG hardware?!

[@PhantasmPhoton]

would this be playable on original hardware?

[@avideogamemaster]

yes

[@budrush]
