I had transcribed the notes for this song a while ago, but couldn’t find a sound chip to remix it with. Later, I saw Ygor G’s remix of the Stardust speedway good future theme from sonic CD and SnugglyBun’s recent Sewerslvt remix, both of which used only the Sega PCM sound chip. Those remixes were really impressive and inspired me to use an arcade setup again.
Earlier on in my music making experiments, I used DefleMask to make arcade style music with it’s arcade setting. It was based on the Sega OutRun and X board’s sound chips, the YM2151 OPM and the SegaPCM. The SegaPCM is really advanced and has 16 channels of sample audio. Idk the exact reason, but DefleMask was designed to use only 5 of those sound channels, and you couldn’t do normal sample pitching with it, so it was difficult to do anything besides drum samples with it. I had wanted to do advanced things with that sound configuration, but due to it’s limitations (and my lack of skill at the time) I didn’t get to experiment with it as much as I wanted to.
Thankfully, Furnace tracker implemented the full version of the SegaPCM, so it can be used properly. I had been busy doing many other things that I hadn’t really thought of doing anything with the SegaPCM, but after seeing some examples of it being used, I decided to try it out again. What I came up with for this remix still isn’t the most advanced thing ever, but it is much more full sounding than anything I had done in the past with this setup.
Hopefully you enjoy!
