Behind the Energy Field (Original Sega Genesis Chiptune)

[KGB525]

Here is a new original Sega Genesis chiptune! I hope you enjoy it. This one's pretty darn funky.

This sounds awesome, dude! Feels like it's strait out of a Sonic level. Are you doing all of this with samples? Or are you using a VST of some kind?

Nice! I like this a lot! Definitely has a Sonic vibe! It sounds like Chemical Plant and Casino Night had a baby and this song is their lovechild

I'm getting more of a Shinobi III vibe from this with the instrumentation and overall jazzy-ness (a good thing, I gosh darn love that soundtrack).

Yeah how is this done? Is it a tracker? I've been learning a tracker called DefleMask myself for some Genesis chiptunes. Regardless the method, this is really great stuff.

Cool, thanks guys! Good call on the Sonic and Shinobi vibe. For this track, I used a combination of vsts (VOPM, Chipsounds) and ripped drum samples. Here is what I used:

The bass and lead were VOPM, and from "Toxic Caves" from Sonic Spinball.

The more 8-bit PSG instruments were done with Chipsounds.

The drums were ripped from Cosmic Carnage, for the 32X.

I'm glad you guys dig the track. I actually have made tons of Genesis chip tunes. It's one of my favorite types of game music to make!
