Mad Gear Act 1 | Sonic 4 Ep I (YM2612+SN76489; Sound Source+ Style)

🎮🔵🟡🔴Invitation to the Bouncy Glow's Music Room Discord server:   / discord   Greetings, viewers! My Sonic 4-oriented upload spree continues, given that the two soundtracks have been my focal point. I originally intended to upload my Mad Gear Act 1 cover to align humorously with Jade Jovian's posting date. However, I ditched that idea to polish the arrangement, particularly in what is now the current middle verse (due to the original composition that more than doubles Mad Gear Act 1's length), which formerly sounded underwhelming with the countermelody pauses and the non-layered lead FM patch. On the topic of FM patches, a disgruntled me was on the verge of scrapping the interpretation because IMPLEMENTING desirable ones proved to be an arduous undertaking. Fortunately, combining Sonic 2's sound bank with the sound source presets salvaged the project due to how they nearly parallel the Korg Triton patches. -- Credits Composition: Jun Senoue (first half) and I (second half) Instruments: Hiroshi Kubota, Tokuhiko Uwabo, and Cube Corp.
