Sonic 1's Soundtrack Recreated From Memory (YM2612 + SN76489)

Рет қаралды 11,578

Күн бұрын

Originally, I saw the same concept executed with Super Mario World, where a group of people tried to recreate SMW's OST with nothing but the samples for each song. I decided to do the same for Sonic 1. I wasn't allowed to listen to the OST beforehand or at any point from the start to the end of the project, nor was I allowed to go back and change anything if I suddenly remembered that I was wrong. One render and that's it. I got all of the .VGMs in a folder and ripped the instruments to .tfi, although the convertor is spotty meaning I had to (manually!) edit patches to what they should've sounded like only from memory. This took a couple weeks, so you can hear as I gradually taper off with what I remember from the OST. Going through it to put it all together and render in Corrscope, I already notice that I forgot the entire intro for Final Zone. There are some parts of songs that I remember well, and some parts that don't, so you'll hear parts that are nearly 1:1 with the original and then a different part of the same song that's completely off. It's like "Everywhere at the End of Time" but for Sonic. Sonic Dimentia.

I didn't look at the title and thought it was the real OST at first. Something clicked me off in Marble but I couldn't figure out. Spring Yard came and the tempo was off, and then I checked the title. From there on I could spot the innacuracies and it made for another experience. And something tells me you had trouble beating thr game as a child, as Final Zone had the inaccuracies jumping to my ear... Still a great job

Marble Zone PSG with a slight echo is a definite improvement of the original. I'm impressed with how much you remembered. I mean, while you say some were 'very off'. They weren't! That's some good lossy compression you have in your mind!

You got a _lot_ closer to the original than the SMW remakes did. You even got everything in the right keys, so the only dead giveaways that something is up is certain parts being an octave above or below where they usually are.

I think the accuracy is equally a testament to your skill and memory as it is one to the skill of the composers - to make an entire soundtrack so memorable that one could remake it all from memory and not miss much detail

It's insane to me how powerful music to our memory. If you've heard a song multiple times, you can basically recreate the song just as you remembered it. It may not be 100% but the main idea is there. This is fascinating.

Marble reminds me of midi fan recreations. It's good and it has it's own charm, but not too accurate to the original song. You did a great job recreating it from memory though! Spring Yard's tempo is a bit off and one of the instruments isn't in the right key but again good from memory!

This is insane. Things like Marble and Spring Yard's bass parts that many people may not even notice if you changed them are replicated perfectly. Since you use FL and ChipSynthMD, can I ask what you use to create a visualizer for the video? I've always been a fan of these oscilloscope type videos and wonder how they're made when not using a tracker.

This is incredibly impressive! For most of these tracks, if I hadn't read the title I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. With that context things do occasionally sound a bit off, but only barely. The only part where a mistake really stood out to me was that missing note in Final Zone in FM 5 at 9:15 (and a few seconds later), but even then, I had to go listen to the original to make sure I wasn't imagining it. I can't fathom recreating this level of detail from memory!!

you must have one HELL of a memory 🧎‍♂ let's see how well mine holds up, not while trying to play it, but trying to see what's off other than the release being quite a bit too long on FM3 during the intro, which might be because of how you ripped the patch (?) if you let me hear GHZ _without_ the intro I'd believe it was the actual track from the game marble sounds a bit slow, but not quite PAL slow, but the echo on on the PSG is 👌genuinely better than the original Spring Yard has really really long release on FM2's notes during the first part, just like GHZ Labyrinth Zone intro sounds like a different chord but somehow still works Star Light - again, only the release on FM5 tips me off that something might be off, otherwise I'd believe it was the og boss music sounds like it's PAL tempo lol FM3 on the Act Clear sounds like it's an octave too high during the first part? there's usually more "meat" to it IDK 1-Up a bit slow and I think what's meant to be a chord towards the end just becomes an octave Invincibility and Chaos Emerald both sound bang on Drowning starts a bit slow but ends at the right tempo Game Over's got a few notes that linger (on release) on FM4 ...I've never heard the Continue music, I always either beat it or rage quit ...not sure if it's the sustain or the release that sounds a bit off on some of these instruments, or if maybe some of the FM operators themselves are off I rate it 🧎‍♂out of 🧎‍♂!!!

Forgive me if I'm coming across as a pleb/fake fan here but what's the deal with the clunky drum in Scrap Brain? It sounds like the timing is a little late for a lot of the notes and it's always bugged me. See also: the DPCM drum in Mario 3's airship theme

@NUKELEDGE Ай бұрын

It's Sonic 1's way of having "multiple" drum samples play at the same time. The snare plays first and then gets cut off because all you really need is the transient of the snare and your ears imagine the rest (especially if you're just playing on a CRT and not headphones), then the timpani plays immediately after. Mario 3's airship theme is a bug that was fixed in some later versions of the game.
