amazon.com/Sweet-06-Akon-Mix/dp/B005EXKUPIShining Wind - Outrun 3D (Space Harrier Mix)Mastered Realm2022-10-28 | The Mega Drive Mini 2 is out! To celebrate that, here's a new remix.
This is a rearrangement of Shining Wind, a track composed by Chikako Kamatani in 1986 exclusively for Outrun 3D. This composition already pays homage to the main theme of Space Harrier, so I only needed to make slight adjustments to fit the different hardware.
I say that because the Space Harrier FM chip (YM2203) is quite limited (3FM, 3 PSG: Mono only). I had, then, to use the PSG for the bells. In the end, I think it worked!

Revolution)Mastered Realm2022-10-20 | I wanted to do three different things for each of the zones with replaced songs. An MJ Remix of IceCap, an FM Makeover of Launch Base, and now, a MIDI remix of Carnival Night.
I also want to thank @Revolution for making his fantastic FM arrangement (youtube.com/watch?v=Q2spgCwTcCQ) and for collabbing with me on this project.
This MIDIPower Mix is an homage to the soundtrack albums USP, the Japanese company responsible for the MIDI arrangements in SK Collection, produced for Konami. These albums contain great MIDI reworkings of PC games. Here's an example below:
Proto Pitch 0:00 PC Pitch 2:10Launch Base Act 2 (FM Makeover) - Sonic OriginsMastered Realm2022-10-01 | Thank you for all the support over the years. Reaching 5K followers on a channel I started just to share stuff with my friends wasn't something I was expecting some years ago.
About this remix: I absolutely love the vanilla proto track and it is one of my favorite songs on the OST. However, a lot of people don't enjoy the happy feel of the original and I receive lots of requests to make an FM Makeover of Act 2.
I then thought it would be a fun exercise to then rework my Act 1 remix into Act 2! So, this is how it turned out :) I thought it would be interesting to make the very start a bit darker than the original to echo the fact the base is literally going down as you progress.
There's still light at the end of the tunnel, however, so even though I snuck some minor chords in previously major-only sections I made sure to keep the happy elements whenever possible.
This is a re-imagination of the S&K Credits medley with extra songs (I used one of the "Sonic 3C" prototypes as a base). Since the theme has to be shorter than 3 minutes to be the same length as the original, I couldn't make room for Marble Garden in the Proto version. I was able to fit it in the MJ version though. I hope you enjoy these :)
If you wanna create a mod, be it for S3 Air, Origins, or anything else, feel free to do it, just put a link to my channel somewhere and I'll be happy.
The recordings themselves weren't poorly done so I was able to make them sound brighter with just EQ and mastering (hence Remastered).
The actual musical content, however (the earlier version* of the proto tracks) in Origins does sound rough, even after processing. I still think having better versions of those available shouldn't hurt anybody, so here they are.

The same one used as a reference by the Japanese team who made Sonic and Knuckles collection.

Special Thanks to GO SPYRO for uploading the demo video :) youtube.com/channel/UCVlhrGALncfPd93haFfKWcQLaunch Base Act 1 (Prototype) MIDI - More info in the description!Mastered Realm2021-06-11 | This MIDI was converted from the SMPS files inside the ROM using ValleyBell's tools! 100% accurate to the SMPS commands inside the ROM. The original Sonic & Knuckles collection MIDI is full of errors, so I ignored that version.
I've done this to investigate some garbage notes present on the PSG channels. They are short beeps aligned to the beat, so their placement seems intentional! As an experiment I've shifted them from the PSG channels to the drum track and they appear to be some extra drums!
If you listen to ACT 2 they used these drums in the same way! So I guess it's one more mystery solved :)
Ah, one more thing. Did you guys notice the actual proto song has the long notes play twice on the lead channel? Apparently there's a limit on how long a note can be and to make it longer you have to place a max length note and another one after it with a special flag to join both notes. LB doesn't have the flag set on said instances, so Valleybell added them by hand :).
We think the original tracks were in MIDI form and the midi converter didn't add them (and they didn't bother fixing it on the proto). By the time SK collection was made the original midis were probably lost and they had to retranscribe them all from the demos.
