Raiden II - Metal Storm (Boss Music) (PC-Engine Cover)
« on: January 13, 2017, 01:29:07 AM »
This one seemed a lot easier.  Probably both because the source material was simpler in design and I've since gotten a little more used to Deflemask.   Turned out pretty close to the arcade, really.

I kind of wish I could get the drum samples to sound cleaner.  Maybe I'll work on that later.

This is the 6 channel, 32KHz sample version, but it might as well be 5 channels since one channel literally does nothing for about 95% of the song... and the arcade track was like that too lol.

Raiden II - Metal Storm (PC-Engine Chiptune Cover) on SoundCloud

I want to do something special for the 5 channel, LQ sample version of this.  I want to rip the waveforms from the HuCard Raiden and use ONLY those waveforms for this... I'm betting this will really have that HuCard Raiden sound vibe if I do that.   :)

Wow, some of those instruments sound really close to the arcade!  About the samples... I have had a hunch for a while that any game (see: Ninja Gaiden arcade, early Capcom) that uses the OKI MSM6295 chip has horrible, muffled samples & audio, and there's nothing you can do about that.

Sounds amazing.

Would it be possible to do some Street fighter 2 tracks or even super street fighter II new challengers??

Man!  Some chick... Mari Yamaguchi, covered the ENTIRE arcade Street Fighter II Champion Edition soundtrack on the PC-Engine!  Would you believe it?!  It's pretty good too!  :P

He is going to arrange an "electron-funk" and "hard cock" version of 2-3 songs from Blodia first.

Thank you.

Another great cover! I own the Raiden II PCB and I definitely think this does it justice.

Thanks, guys!  Glad you like it!  More stuff on the way.  :)

Seriously, this is some nice work.  Are you up for taking requests?

The next two tracks I'm doing will also be Raiden II music (for the 25th Anniversary Project).... but after that...

I'm honestly thinking about taking a crack at another Sega Genesis track.  One people will be like "No... it can't be.  That's not possible!"

When you think of absolutely furious, all out, balls-to-the-f*cking-wall wailing FM synth metal guitar on the Genesis, with insane pitch bends and vibrato effects going on everywhere, what is the FIRST highly coveted Genesis game soundtrack that comes to mind???

Hint: There's a storm a' brewin'  ;)

It's Thunder Force isn't it?
I already did Fighting Back from Thunder Force IV a while back as a request from a friend, but to be honest, I don't enjoy the TF soundtracks nearly as much as everyone else seems to... It's just that I'm really not into metal, much less gritty FM metal >w>
But yeah, there are the exceptions, and Fighting Back is an exception to me, I like the song...
