Dude... You know most of these source tunes are from classic era Sonic games, right? That being said, I recently remixed (and submitted) Flying Battery Zone (originally from Sonic & Knuckles), and I have a WIP of Lava Reef Zone (both acts) sitting around somewhere. Here's the Flying Battery Zone remix. Melodic trap /EDM style. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/880226

What kind of style do you seek? Are you going fully modern? Or are you looking to give it just a slight upgrade? By slight upgrade I mean like maybe a slightly newer console than Amiga. If you were thinking to go full 16-bit console style, I'd be your guy, so long as I could find a decent source. VGM/VGZ or MIDI formats would be something I could use. Here's why I'd be the guy for that https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/926256 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925873 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923416 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923901 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/896595 If you're looking for something else, do let me know while I seek out something I could use. I am capable of more than chip sounds. Meanwhile, see if you can do a VGM dump of the tunes with an emulator or something. That may help future candidates.

There are only two tracks I can choose... I would think there would be more participation with all the quarantines going on. By the way, I cast my vote. Both submissions were fantastic, thanks for the ear candy, guys!

The Colony Level from 3D Ultra Pinball https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/926256 Castle Theme from Super Mario World https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/927197 Power Rangers theme song https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/927280

Question: is there a preferred sample rate for the output wav file? I use 44.1kHz.

I think I'll go in on this one. Kirby be having some nice tunes, and this one is no exception.

I'm updating this with several collaborative works. All of these were initially written by swosp, and what you hear in all of these tracks contain varying degrees of alterations to the original composition. The first one is kinda vaporwave and utilizes the Sonic 3 sound driver. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/927801 Next, I kinda just played with the sounds until I found something that sounded just right to me. Also kinda mellow, but not as mellow as the first one in this reply. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925873 Next is some of the heavier stuff swosp wrote for a symphonic metal side project. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923063 And here's the one that got him started sending me his MIDI. At the time when I made this, I had no knowledge of his old metal project, for which he had originally written this. He had uploaded it as an 8 bit chiptune, and my first thought was to not just Genesize it, but metallize it as well. This is the result of my work with it. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/918954 If you just search Google for "Satiment Alidwel Grothen," you'll find not only the 8 bit version, but not too deep into the results is the original rendition under the band name "Absilentia." Here's swosp's Newgrounds page. He's rather versatile, as he also produces beats and EDM (and then some). https://swosp.newgrounds.com/

Hmmm... https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/927197 Should I mix it up like a full OC ReMix rearrangement, but keep the sound on the SEGA Genesis sound chip? I'm thinking yes.

I've decided to not keep making a new thread every time I post new SEGA Genesis music. Instead, I'll throw it all in this thread from this point going forward. I'll throw this up first. It's a collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925068

This is really more of a shitpoast than a serious remix https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925412 Enjoy!

Entry Submitted! I told you I was going in on this joint!

Hey, just a quick note, if you use Reason, you can get RYM2612 as actual hardware. I suppose you would need a MIDI keyboard to use it, though. Inphonik (the developer) is very attentive to user feedback and questions, if you have any. They're based in France, keep that in mind as far as time zones go.

Oh, snap, I'm going IN on this joint!

Thank you very much for the replies. Actually, it's as close to the sound chip as one can possibly get in any DAW. If you're interested in doing this, RYM2612 is what I use for the FM sounds. Plogue's chipsounds plugin serves for the SN76489 (PSG) channels, so long as you set it to the 3.58MHz mode. Both are paid plugins, but imo both worth it. Especially RYM2612. AlyJamesLab's SN76489 plugin may be a viable alternative, as it costs much less. Here are the links to that stuff: https://www.inphonik.com/products/rym2612-iconic-fm-synthesizer/ https://www.plogue.com/products/chipsounds.html https://www.alyjameslab.com/alyjameslabsuperpsg.html Edit: wait, if you do get RYM2612, there's an excellent free tool on Inphonik's website called RYMCast. It's a VGM player that also serves as an instrument ripper. If you look up games here on OC ReMix, you can also find VGM/VGZ packs (those are midi-like files that store the sound chip info as well). I've downloaded several, and I load them (individual .vgm or .vgz files) into RYMCast to rip instruments into RYM2612. That's how I made a track using only the sounds from the Death Egg Zone music from Sonic & Knuckles. It can also be used to rip instruments for Deflemask, but if you're not at all familiar with tracker software, don't bother with Deflemask. Also, one last note on RYM2612: your DAW software must support sidechaining/audio routing if you want to use RYM2612 to crush drum samples. I'm gonna have to make a tutorial for this, aren't I?

Welcome. Don't eat any food anyone here offers to you. I be on that SEGA Genesis time as well, but on a different level. Hear, here: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923416 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923901 Both SEGA Genesis music.

Eh, screw it. My vote won't change where anyone placed. Dex's mix really did kick ass...

Ah, shit, I forgot about this. I got recruited for a VGM project. Oh, well, next time... @HoboKa you said that the vote is extended but it says it ended over 20 hours ago.

Made this for MnP111 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/920748 I'm thinking of doing more, since it's 100% source material with added 808 bass and percussion. So, just barely not a MIDI rip.

Please do jump in. I want to hear a better version than mine.

Entry submitted! IT'S ON MUTHAFUCKAS!

I wish people on Newgrounds weren't so scared of OCR lmao Even a MIDI ripper could do this contest!

Working on my entry now. Because I'm bored

The source material sounds a bit like this song at the beginning
