Thought I'd jump back to making music for Atari systems again. :)
You find yourself a tank-like machine abandoned nearby a playground, little did you know that the machine was still functional after what seemed to be a few years ago.

Arrangement by Tobikomi (MT-32)
An arrangement of R3s Chemical City, or alternatively titled, Cant Take It Anymore. Chemical City is the final level in the game, Toree Genesis, where you play as a bird running around at the speed of sound. As you can probably guess, the games are inspired greatly by Sonic the Hedgehog, and Toree Genesis is no exception since that game was made to commemorate the 31st anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog! You can download the game here: https://siactro.itch.io/toree-genesis
The song is a nice blend of various styles. You have these FM instruments, some NES sounds, and some drum samples from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It all meshes perfectly well. Compositionally, the chord progressions are very top-notch. Ill be honest here, the chords were probably the hardest part when covering this. Haha! The drum samples used (along with some vocal samples) gave the original tune lots of character, something I was hoping to replicate with the MT-32. I wasnt very successful with it since most of these sounds are extremely cheesy. XD I hope you all enjoy this!

This is a song I revisited. I made the cover back in December 2021 for the OPLL. In retrospect, Im not all too happy with it; my OPLL cover of the song didnt have enough polyphony, resulting in the song sounding a little empty and repetitive. With the MT-32, I was able to incorporate more. The MT-32 still had limitations of its own regarding polyphony, but its way more manageable. The MT-32 can theoretically support up to 32 voices, but this depends on the different patches you use. Some patches use layers, at the cost of polyphony, and can range from 1 to 4. If you had 8 notes being played, yet the patch used has four layers, that would take up the whole module. In short, the MT-32 can support up to 32 voices, at worst it would play 8 voices overall.
Thank you for listening! And Merry Christmas! :D
