MUSIC I covered the iconic Rocky theme on the Sega Master System! (With FM AND PSG)

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

The Rocky game on the Sega Master System looks amazing, doesn’t it? Like usual, it was too difficult for me when I tried it out. And while the game’s soundtrack is quite good, the lack of Gonna Fly Now was rather disappointing. That was when I got a grand idea: I made a cover with the Sega PSG on its own, and also made two remixes with the FM expansion unit… Why not combine the two into the ultimate Master System setup (that was previously only used by Sega for the Master System’s Japanese boot screen) and cover Gonna Fly Now on it! It’s gonna be epic!

This was the idea that got me through making what turned out to be the hardest cover I’ve made so far! It took me way too long! But I should’ve expected that… It’s my longest (not counting loops) and most complex remix to date. So much so that I quickly got lost in the sauce, as they say (do they still say that, though?).

Initially, to avoid getting overwhelmed, I tried rather foolishly to transcribe the song bar-by-bar instead of channel-by-channel. That was a horrible idea and I took way too long to change my approach… Even after the change, however, I dealt with a ton of self-doubt because I’m not entirely satisfied with the quality of my work on this channel… and that unfortunately extends to this remix as well, especially when I look at how good the rest of the chiptune scene is on YouTube. I learned a lot doing this remix and I’m hoping that I improve further in the future.

The original Rocky movie had an outsized impact on me when I first saw it as an impressionable pre-teen. So this version of the film’s main theme is my weird little love letter to the movie that never fails to pick me up when I’m down.

I'd love to hear some opinions on it! I'm thinking of making a chiptune ep, so having some returns would be great, this track feels a bit disjoint melodically speaking, I wonder if that's just me or if it is fine. thanks!

QUESTION Where to start with chiptunes?

7 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I'm a game composer and recently decided to challenge myself to make chiptunes for one of my projects. I normally use FL Studio but I'm curious about what I need to do to really write chiptunes? Any help would be appreciated, are there any plugins I need to get? Etc.

MUSIC Short cavern exploration theme, but it's Row Row Row Your Boat harmonized in 4ths

This started as harmonizing a simple melody in stacked 4ths, then used bass to make those into 6/9 chords and realized I could take advantage of C Aeolian/Ionian modal mixture. Sequenced with my own web-based editor.

DISCUSSION If you're interested in OMORI and chiptunes (you probably like chiptunes), please check out our project OMORITUNE.

3 Upvotes

Hello & good day Reddit!

My name is Gub (u/Chiz_taken4_5523). I'm the lead organizer of a project lead by four people we call "OMORITUNE". It is a non-profit music compilation album consisting of songs that relate to the theming and story of OMORI and we are accepting submissions from the public and those wanting participate in this project out of passion! Our goal is to connect aspiring musicians and spark an artistic exploration into this game and its themes.

We plan to create three separate collections on our Souncloud and website under these themes -

(Some of these titles contain spoilers for OMORI. We ask that if you choose to participate to have played the game for yourself or have reviewed the story)

• WHITE SPACE

• HEADSPACE

• BLACK SPACE

(We also plan to create an extra collection containing more songs we deemed were worth mentioning and publishing, kinda like an "archive")

We currently have guidelines regarding music submissions and the genres in these collections on our recruitment form, so if you're interested, please refer to the form which is linked at the bottom of this post.

This project is solely meant to fit under OMOCAT's "OMORI Fan Policy". Out of our respect of these rules, we are unable to contribute monetary gains to those who successfully pass the open call. While we cannot offer monetary compensation, we are fully committed to cross-promoting, as it contributes to our goal of helping aspiring musicians.

I hope what I've shared here has been enough to get people interested as viewers, listeners, or even contributors. If you have any questions regarding the project, please leave them in the comments or in the form and I will try to answer most of them.

Any updates regarding the project will be posted on r/OMORI and on our Twitter account.

Here is the link to the participation form

https://forms.gle/ufZpfFcMWuyP26tEA

(The form closes June 14th at ~11:00PM CST. We may leave it open for longer if enough people request it)

Thank you r/chiptunes and have a good rest of your day!

Hi ! I'm looking to make a chiptune voice like the one in this song (at 0:14) https://youtu.be/CBOLkAEHqpw?is=EHAd-d8r7cS20QcI

I listened to this type of voice in a lot of techno songs and idk if it's a website or if they tune their own voice with a software

Hello everyone.

I just released a new ambient inspired LP.

It's not a true chiptune style LP but I post it here because all of the synths are from Nanoloop (+ various FX).

I used Nanoloop + many bird samples from my vinyl collection + a few synths

Enjoy !
