EC2151 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 That's a mouthful of a title, eh? Anyhoo, VGM MM is a freeware tracker that lets you do FM synthesis and emulate the YM2616 chip of the Sega Genesis. It is a direct update to TFM Music Maker. How so? It supports 6 FM channels, one being used for sampling PCM audio, 3 PSG square wave channels, and one PSG white noise channel. So that's 9 channels, plus noise. TFM MM only had support for the 6 FM channels. Both can be downloaded for free here. Here are some tracks I made with it: Chopper Blues Hope Flies High MadMen For an example of TFM MM in action, here's another track I made: Zero Hour IronLife Rhythm I need to listen to more Matt Furniss so I can become as good at this stuff as he is... >.> By far it's my favorite tracker I've ever worked with, so if anyone wants to make some cool sega genesis music, give it a try!

EC2151 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 A bump with two new* tracks I made: Full Throttle This one is inspired by Top Gun and After Burner II (which is basically Top Gun). It has some fun Sega genesis guitar and a shreddin' solo towards the end. -looping version- Pressure from Below *This was made ages ago on the less-powerful TFM Music Maker, but since I liked this track so much I remade to have a bit polyphony and mastering/effects, with some more offbeat jazzy percussion. It still is one of my favorite tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 A bump with two new tracks: Get Ready! -probably one of the better-sounding songs I've made as of this posting. Pretty catchy. Requiem for a Space Bug Doesn't loop too well, and I haven't isolated the problem on Audacity. One day I will, though. Right now I am trying to experiment with VGM_MM's PSG capabilities, making some songs that would sound right at home on the Master System or Game Gear. Always some fun stuff.
