>>520834041SNES had music created using samples which means in theory, it can pull absolutely insane shit off. A lot of developers weren't able to do much with it because it was new hardware at the time but some people were definitely able to like Tim Follin. The sample based hardware can be used today to do insane shit like this:youtube.com/watch?v=Au_CTlKU_7oChemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2 near perfectly recreated on SNES hardware

>>520835258The issue with sample is that eat tom of memory. when shit is at premium you either shove more game or music, albeit some late releases have crazy stuff like tales having CD quality shit with vocals.It had extra chip tho.

>>520835258It's kind of impressive that he managed to figure out its true potential in the short span it was relevant, considering most composers never did.

>>520835287man I loved this game

>>520835258I remember someone using the SNES sound chip to play CD quality audio. The problem was storage space for cartridges could never hold that sort of stuff as well as a game.

>>520834041You thought that was crazy. Listen to this shit. youtu.be/aoNrg2bYQBU

>>520834992youtube.com/watch?v=Unh2dAEHtZo>This is Genesis music.

>>520834041And there are STILL people who think that the Genesis sound chip sounds better.

>>520835892It's better to say more people were capable of getting the most out of the Genesis sound chip. Shit like Follin's music is an exception, not a rule.

>>520835454That Solstice theme is so fucking good

You guys really should play Plok, it has a slow start but it becomes really fun later on, plus you can appreciate all of Tim's music instead of focusing on just a few.One example:youtube.com/watch?v=t-PUPJqzxocWait until 1:10. That progressive rock inspired percussion, goddamn.

>>520834041What the fuck, what year is this from?

>>520835852The Gem Engine was absolute shit and you could only use the default soundfount. How the fuck does this sound like a high end Snes game?

Yeah, Tim is great on the later hardware, but how about the fact that he managed to get the most out of even the ZX Spectrum?youtube.com/watch?v=9b9XjxK2RJc

>tfw missed the chance to get Plok on vinylonly 500 made, fuck

youtube.com/watch?v=vAasq0Uxmsk

>>520835892The SNES' soundchip is objectively better from a purely hardware and range perspective but when it comes to actual implementation back during the 90s, the Genesis' FM sound generally sound more impressive than a lot of the stuff that was actually made for the SNES

youtube.com/watch?v=WRF_7xsu10cI fucking love this song.

>Use PSound to extract audio from PS2 disks>Get short audio clipsand sound samples usually, not full songsI feel that even long after the SNES, most games still used samples due to the low RAM footprint.

>Shit that sounds like generic Halloween music and fart bass played through a walkie talkie>"omg muh nostalgia"

>>520836464Depend of game, some old releases use samples well as ports.

>>520836687irredeemably shit taste and broken ears

>>520836410That song kind of creeps me out because it sounds nothing like the game it's on, and it sounds so melancholic, like the robocop theme on C64.Also recently discovered this one, probably the same composer for the Flintstones.youtube.com/watch?v=BPc34mT8xBo

>>520836151>>520836281Sony did Snes sound chip so shit was really good stuff. And exactly why GBA ports sound like ass.

>>520836710I imagine that it would depend on if the game has enough spare time to let the disk laser read audio tracks rather than game data.

>>520836045I got filtered by grandpa plok

With the nonstop generic shit vidya "composers" do lately with most vidya, it feels like the art of kino vidya music that you actually remember/listen to more than once the moment the game is over is a slowly dying artform. We need more actual composers who can actually make music that isn't just shit you'd hear playing in every generic movie ever.Also, the world needs more music from guys like Davis Wise who just knew how to make music both atmospheric and kino to listen to/remember way after the game ends.

>>520837130I really hope the rumors about the Switch apparently having a new DKC in development are true solely because I love David Wise's shitYou'd think that he'd lose his touch after two decades but his work on Tropical Freeze was just as great as his work on DKC and DKC2

>>520836281Correct. The SNES sound chip was so underutilized it hurts. The amount of games with mediocre echoy samples and mediocre composition is baffling.

>>520837130I wouldn't be surprised if the degradation in music quality these days is partly due to how the Xbox 360 let people replace in-game music with whatever they wanted to play at that time.

>>520837376there are no legit rumors about a new DKC on Switch right now but i know he did an interview recently and he said he'd love to do more so that's really good to know.

youtube.com/watch?v=DtKlKLHbtj8This song makes me laugh and I don't know why

>>520837476>>520837130music used to be "good" because it was commercialized heavily and every measure was comprised of 5-10 seconds of catchy, marketable tunes that you wouldn't forget.Music now is free from the designs that entrapped it and you no longer see a NYtimes article complaining about a dying art form because musicians can make what they feel like and not feel bottled up by the popular media.

music is shittier now because any dickhead with an iphone or laptop can "make" music that is 1. "acceptable" and 2. requires little talent

>>520837831you just aren't listening enough, there is genuinely good music out there.

>>520837912sure there is, i was talking more chart music to be honest.

>>520837961Oooh, mainstream music is good sometimes.I still listen to Fiona Apple and Adele sometimes.

>>520836410Ocean's shitty movie adaptations were usually only palatable due to the music. I remember Dennis the Menice having a pretty decent soundtrack to the point I sometimes borrowed it from a friend just to listen to it.

>>520834041This is entry-tier SNES flex, OP

>>520838042would you really call fiona apple mainstream though? she's fantastic and definitely has a large following, but i don't know if mainstream? at least not these days.

>>520834041Tim Follin.Plok is the best SNES platformer of all time, however, the Pickfords won't give it the thumbs up for release on the SNES all on Switch, only because they don't know who the rights belong to.youtube.com/watch?v=8UrsaKcZHI0

>>520839689Huh. I was wondering why Plok hasn't been re-released at all.

>>520839689Devs have right for it.

>>520839812No. They have the rights to the CHARACTER, which is why they made a webcomic off of him.zee-3.com/plok/index.php?comic=978They don't have the rights to the GAME (they were cool with me playing it via emulation).

For me? It's Plok on the Genesis sound chip.youtube.com/watch?v=XydJ8sF4AJU

>>520836151Allow the actual developer himself explain: youtube.com/watch?v=x3m3JrVImmUYou're absolutely correct about the GEMS driver, which was responsible for the farting ost plagued Genesis games. The GEMS driver was easier to produce songs to because it was like any music sequencer and didn't require any programming knowledge, the drawback is that it was limited to its standard voice [instruments] library.Most game which have nice-sounding soundtracks, however, used the SMPS driver, which required actual programming and custom voice synthetization, which resulted in a higher quality, higher value ost.Jon Burton's solution for Toy Story's soundtrack, however, was neither, and it's nothing short of amazing.

>>520840049Gross. Surely it could be done better than that.

>>520835705Based youtube commenter

>>520839490>genesis soundchip is pretty basic actually. all has that buzzy lowchip soundThe Genesis has two different sound chips. One is a 16bit YM2612 FM synth with 6 channels and a DAC. Plus it also has an 8bit PSG with 3 square waves and one noice generator. Both audio chips are usually powered by an 8bit Zilog Z80A CPU. The Z80 CPU and PSG are there for 8-bit Master System backwards compatibility. But are used as part of the Genesis audio set up. The SNES functions like a MIDI playback device. With 8 channels that can all play digital audio samples. The Genesis is limited to one DAC audio channel for digital samples. Both audio chips are very different from each other.

>>520839948Aren't they making a new Plok game?

The GB Robocop theme will always be baffling for having this laidback theme for a game about mayhem and violence and it's about 3:00 long for just a title screen.youtube.com/watch?v=rhZBDNQ3gas

>>520840705If they own the character they can make a new game all they want, but they don't have the rights to release the old game. The guy who designed the characters in pic related runs a fan site for the series and has released some comics, but the game was made by Irem, which died early this decade or around there, so who knows who owns the game itself.

>>520834992except the genesis never used soundfonts. its soundchip works like an actual synth generating sounds based on what the game was programmed to tell it, it doesnt use standardized sounds. soundfonts are sample banks, and they arent stored in the console, they are stored in the game itself.>>520835852>>520836151because its Amiga MOD music being played using some RAM trickery i think. this video explains it youtube.com/watch?v=x3m3JrVImmU

A CMI 3, which came out in 1987ish, likely maybe a year or so before this game came into development, and ran for about $32000 (not counting inflation). An SNES ran for $200.

The Sega CD attachment for the Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive was interesting to me because it added an 8-channel PCM to the system, which allowed the system to have some SNES like sample capabilities. All 8 PCM channels could stream digital audio. Not ,many games used it though.. All the "past" levels in Sonic CD did: youtube.com/watch?v=HNdRVkq1m1QThe in game music for Silpheed did too: youtube.com/watch?v=nkmFTD5nLY4&list=PL-vD6rIjXrcKltNqHYdDDmZJ4AcOX2Yfe&index=10Popful Mail also used the PCM too: youtube.com/watch?v=nkmFTD5nLY4&list=PL-vD6rIjXrcKltNqHYdDDmZJ4AcOX2Yfe&index=10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH3cjk7N0Ik&list=PLzFTGYa_evXj3di28akuzu1GvaADE_UCj&index=17

>>520846926As a follow up to that, the funny thing about Sonic CD's past tracks is they weren't even originally intended to use the PCM chip. A prototype has the past version of Palmtree Panic in CD audio form:youtu.be/eQzrfwBFwQAIt's unclear why these were replaced with the PCM variants, but probably due to space limitations.

>>520841024>except the genesis never used soundfonts. its soundchip works like an actual synth generating sounds based on what the game was programmed to tell it, it doesnt use standardized sounds. soundfonts are sample banks, and they arent stored in the console, they are stored in the game itself.Yeah, the SNES is completely sample based. All sound fonts have to be stored on the cartridge. The PS1 basically has a bigger and better version of the SNES audio chip thanks to Ken Kutaragi. The Genesis has only one DAC audio channel for samples, while I think the SNES has 8. Some clever composers on the Genesis did find ways to stream multiple samples through the one DAC. youtube.com/watch?v=qMyu9WLj77k&list=PL-vD6rIjXrcItxT8rfYy4n0S2RcP7LZKN&index=2Clay Fighters SNES intro with voice samples: youtube.com/watch?v=qKz_nI2RLLs&list=PLgp5C9zuvc2KZZdtCXjPCzUWKzD0wzHmA&index=9
