The GND-1T (Speak & Glitch GND-1T) | Circuit Bent Speech Chip Synthesizer

video upload by Shirato_Noise

Follow-up to the Speak & Glitch GND-1

"I'm very happy to finally be able to introduce this instrument. The GND-1T is a synthesizer developed by Richard van Hoesel and is the successor to the GND-1. The major improvements are the touch screen and the addition of built-in drum sounds. This allows for the simultaneous generation of circuit bent speech chip sounds and chaotic rhythms.

This video introduces the preset sounds and twists them a bit. No additional effects.

Check out his web page for further details and manuals for this instrument.
https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t/

As a backstory, I have provided a few sample sets for the drum sounds of this instrument. These are my acoustic drums, percussion sounds, and some unique synthesized electronic drum sounds. I hope you enjoy them!"

Analog Rytm & PO MEGAMAN: "KeeJen" (TDK cover)

video upload by tubesockor

"Third time making a TDK cover now, but can't help it - they are too good and too fun to play! This is KeeJen, from the TDK album 'Retrospect'.

All sounds come from the Elektron Analog Rytm MKII using three voices of SY CHIP and one hihat voice. The leads are played on the Teenage Engineering PO-128 Megaman Pocket Operator.

Played in one go. Rytm audio is direct from the unit, PO has a little delay."

Fun video. How many games can you identify?

"👾I've been experimenting with #8Bit Computer Game Music and #MidicakeARP. 🕹️

I made a long video but failed to record one of the MIDI channels, so I need to re-record it. Anyway, here's a little snippet.

Yamaha SEQTRAK an old Gameboy soundtrack

video upload by LucaTronico

"Diving back into my GameBoy memories with a live cover of the VolleyFire theme, using my latest gear: Yamaha SEQTRAK and Arturia Keystep 25. 🕹️🎹 This game might have been simple, but its music? Absolutely thrilling! Been itching to give it my own spin, and what better way than live (talk about a challenge 😅). Join me on this nostalgic yet bumpy ride as I recreate one of the soundtracks that fueled my childhood gaming sessions. #RetroGamingVibes

🎵 Gear Used:

Yamaha SEQTRAK for that sequenced precision.
Arturia Keystep 25 for dynamic key action.
🕹️ Gaming Throwback"

Arduino VGM player on ESP32 (SN76489 chiptune) with a moving panorama stereo effect

video upload by Marcel Licence

"In this video you see the VGM player running on the ESP32.
All you hear comes directly from the PCB.
I made the 4 channels of the SN76489 emulation visible on the OLED screen.
In addition to that I tried to create a kind of moving panorama,
to generate a moving stereo separation.
The channels are floating around by changing the left/right volume
and the delay time changes too to simulate the changing distance.

The other features are the same as on the RP2040.

At the end of the video you will find a lot of music examples.

Used VGM files:
- Global Gladiators - 03 - Duelin-Dance.vgm
- Global Gladiators - 02 - Techno Tune.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - 03 - Act Start.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - 04 - Underground Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 02 - Act Start.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 03 - Green Hill Zone.vgm
- Lemmings - 21 - Let's Go!.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 05 - Bridge Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 06 - Chaos Emerald.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 08 - Bonus Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 09 - Labyrinth Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 10 - Act Complete.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 11 - Scrap Brain Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 12 - Sky Base Zone.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 13 - Boss Theme.vgm
- Sonic The Hedgehog - 16 - Marble Zone (unused).vgm

Files were originally in .vgz format and I renamed them to .vgz, decompress them.
Finally, rename the uncompressed files back to .vgm before I could play them.

Arduino VGM player with rough SN76489 emulation - sneak peak of a video game music chiptune project

video upload by Marcel Licence

"Similar to the previous project I wanted to implement the playback of a new file format.
In this project VGM files are played on different platforms (decompressed VGZ files).
To get any audio I've implemented a very rough emulation of the SN76489 sound chip.
It has three square wave outputs and a noise channel.
The noise channel does not completely work as intended yet.
You might hear some deviations to the expected audio of the video game music.
This project is implemented in Arduino.
After adding some more features I will make this project available soon.


Used VGM files:
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 07 - Sky High Zone.vgm
- Global Gladiators - 02 - Techno Tune.vgz
- Global Gladiators - 03 - Duelin-Dance.vgz
- Global Gladiators - 04 - Dance Tune.vgz
- Lemmings - 01 - Title screen.vgm
- Lemmings - 02 - Can-Can.vgm
- Lemmings - 03 - Levels 2 & 19.vgm
- Lemmings - 04 - Levels 3 & 20.vgm
- Lemmings - 05 - Levels 4 & 21.vgm

Files were originally in .vgz format and I renamed them to .vgz, decompressed them
and finally renamed the uncompressed files back to .vgm before I could play them.

SEGA GENESIS MUSIC TOOLKIT | Free sounds and samples

video upload by Woody Piano Shack

"All the sounds used to make every SEGA MEGADRIVE / SEGA GENESIS game ever made, and all for free! I'll show you how to download all the classic FM sounds and samples for the games console that used the legendary YAMAHA YM2612 4-operator sound chip (also used in arcade cabinets such as Outrun, Paperboy).

We'll also explore using FM8 on NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MASCHINE+ for a standalone groovebox device to rival the Sonicware LIVEN MEGA Synthesis.

SEGA SPACE HARRIERより”MAIN THEME" MEGA SYNTHESIS Ver.

video upload by NOZ MUSIC

"SEGAの体感ゲーム「SPACE HARRIER」のMAIN THEMEをSONICWARE LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESISでステップシーケンス演奏です。 MEGA SYNTHESISは、SEGAの家庭用ゲーム機「MEGA DRIVE」の内蔵音源をそのまま再現したレトロ・ゲームミュージック・コンポーザーです。

・YM2612 FMシンセ x 3トラック (6ボイス)
・SN76489 PSGシンセ x 2トラック (4ボイス)
・8-bit PCMサンプラー x 1トラック (3ボイス)

ステップシーケンサーで4小節ずつ打ち込み25パターン作成、手動でパターンチェンジしながら最後まで演奏してみました。 パターン切換した時に音がブツ切れるのは、仕様です。
FM音源パートの音色は全てMEGA SYNTHESIS本体で作成、PCMドラムはYAMAHA RX21からMEGA SYNTHESIS本体でサンプリングしました。
MEGA SYNTHESIS本体だけで、ここまで再現出来るなんて、本当に素晴らしくて楽しい商品ですね♪"

Googlish:

"Step sequence performance of the MAIN THEME from SEGA's experience game "SPACE HARRIER" using SONICWARE LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESIS. MEGA SYNTHESIS is a retro game music composer that directly reproduces the built-in sound source of SEGA's home game console "MEGA DRIVE."

・YM2612 FM synth x 3 tracks (6 voices)
・SN76489 PSG synth x 2 tracks (4 voices)
・8-bit PCM sampler x 1 track (3 voices)

I created 25 patterns by inputting 4 measures at a time using a step sequencer, and played them all the way to the end while changing the patterns manually. It is by design that the sound cuts out when switching patterns.
All the tones for the FM sound source parts were created using the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself, and the PCM drums were sampled from the YAMAHA RX21 using the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself.
It's a really wonderful and fun product to be able to reproduce so much with just the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself♪"

MEGA SYNTHESISでSPACE HARRIERのINTROを作ってみました♪

video upload by NOZ MUSIC

"SONICWAREのLIVEN MEGA SYNTHESISの練習で、SEGAの体感ゲーム「SPACE HARRIER(スペースハリアー)」のイントロ部分を作ってみました。 FM音源の音色は自作で、
MEGA SYNTHESISはメガドライブの内蔵FM音源YM2612を再現してるとはいえ、パラメーター値が異なるので、原曲の音色に寄せるのが苦労しました。 ドラムはYAMAHA RX21をサンプリングしまして、鍵盤スイッチに6音色を設定してます。
4小節ずつパターンを作って、手動でパターンチェンジしながら演奏してます。
パソコン使わず単体で音色作りとサンプリング、音符の打ち込みが出来て、ここまで再現出来るなんて、素晴らしいですね♪"

Googlish:

"While practicing SONICWARE's LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESIS, I created the intro to SEGA's hands-on game ``SPACE HARRIER.'' The tone of the FM sound source was created by myself.
Although MEGA SYNTHESIS reproduces the Mega Drive's built-in FM sound source YM2612, the parameter values are different, so it was difficult to get it to match the tone of the original song. The drums are sampled from YAMAHA RX21, and 6 tones are set on the keyboard switches.
I create a pattern of 4 bars each and play while changing the pattern manually.
It's amazing that you can create tones, sample, and input notes without using a computer, and that you can reproduce this much."
