SNES games could use their own sound bank with real instrument sounds and then use the SPU to modify these instrument sounds to get more range out of them.

It's why SNES sounds amazing compared to the Genesis, which just sound like a bunch of farts.

>what is midi
Ducking gay retard

You think that's impressive, look at this shit

go home duck

>forgot to disable autocorrect

no, i called you a duck

demoscene is awesome regardless of platform

>literally the most popular piece of SNES music ever
>never knew

If you want something actually impressive, listen to the Gimmick OST.

this megadrive Demo is probably my favourite

the megadrive soundchip was raw machine

While we're on the topic of old hardware audio, where/why did the Genesis go so wrong?

youtube.com/watch?v=WuIjwgPIQtg

The bad audio was from the CDX, basically a Genesis/MegaCD combo

But why did they feel the need to dumb down the hardware? Was it just to save shekels?

oh dear fucking christ

Well, the Megadrive/Genesis was selling like a mad cunt at the time, that's why

It's a good OST but it also had some additional audio chip in the cartridge.

yeah, after the VA6 revision they really went down hill due to cost cutting.

Except the snes isn't a MIDI capable device you retard.

that is pretty impressive

More Genesis shit youtube.com/watch?v=d1lhB8ojVPI

even used FM for the drums, impressive

NEAT

The sinister laughter at the beginning really gets me. It's so stupidly hard to make FM sound like anything but digital ear-rape.

It depends on how well you understand Frequency Modulation synthesis, and yes, the YM2612 does make it hard since it limits you to 4 operators and only lets you use a sinewave as the waveform. Big boy FM is even harder to understand but allows for more room to create sounds like that laugh

8 bit was good too

I always loved this tune!

>on-cart extras
>unique to SNES

Nintenkids, please leave.

Genesis could do some crazy shit with its processing. Look at the game Red Zone.

FM can sound pretty nice with heavy music like that

not so much for other types

pff, you call that midi?

>People claim the hardware was weak
>translation: people made excuses

was waiting for this

We're talking about the basic SPU dumbfuck, SNES had a good one. Genesis didn't.

In case anyone tells you NES music sucks.

youtube.com/watch?v=XG1c2U4ld2Y

Pick any Tim Follin stuff, really. (Since he did both Solstice and Silver Surfer)

>sound bank
>sample based synthesis
[vomits]

Literally nobody
>NOBODY
can beat this shit right here. Both technically and musically, it's the best.

youtube.com/watch?v=GqyEbu8cmMg

Great choice, that's some of the best VGM of all time.

FUG

imo genesis shines best with vaguely spooky/sad music

also, it sounds cleanest when the musician doesn't bother trying to make something sound like real instruments

>Genesis
Streets of Rage BGM on Genesis turned my world upside down.

youtube.com/watch?v=f10CtaCoeVI

...

That's plain untrue.

Ristar for example is a shining example of Donkey Kong Country style atmospheric music

For an SNES tune thread there sure is a lot of sega...

I think Genesis did heavy music well because it was so bassy and abrasive

It just says 16 bit

i was referring more to orchestral stuff like in final fantasy and other rpg's
