Space in a Jar (Sega Genesis, YM2612 + SN76489) [Original] 

i got that and omori vibes

I'm glad you like it! I think SSG-EG has been one of my favorite techniques to use. I feel like it can add so much depth to just one channel

@@SpinningSquareWaves how can you do it on the Genesis? I need to do a Castlevania Dracula X OST remix on it but I can't find or make any instrument similar to the Filtered Square Lead from Divine Bloodlines, for example.

Thanks for the sub! I'm glad you like it :)

I just added a download link to the description. Enjoy!

I have, but I haven't really had an opportunity to do so. I've tried to make my own games on many occasions, but I haven't been able to fully finish any yet.

Yeah, he keeps doing that. I wish he’d just use his own body, ya know?

@@SpinningSquareWaves Seriously though, you're a favourite chiptune composer of mine. Keep doing what you love.

@@marinellovragovic1207 Thanks, man! It means a lot

I did :D That's why it says "original" in the title, since I composed it myself

SSG-EG is a somewhat obscure setting found in some of Yamaha's FM chips, such as the YM2412 found in the Sega Genesis. tldr; it's a special setting that can allow for unique distortions that are otherwise impossible for the Genesis to create. Here's a video clip that describes it in length ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nlDfVrC9IHA.html ), but since it's kind of long, I'll briefly describe it here. Essentially, SSG-EG takes the volume envelope, which is changes the volume of a sound over time, and then it repeats this envelope. If the envelope was a simple decay, for example, then that decay would repeat, restarting every time the volume reaches zero. Usually, this repetition is used with a low repetition rates for an echo effect and with high repetition rate for distortion. More recently, it's even been used for speech synthesis! Here's a song that does all three: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3sh8ZBVWZpE.html In this case, I've actually tuned the repetition of the envelope to match the note being played, so it has more of an effect similar to chorusing. This can be seen on the second and third channel of this song, where it creates an effect similar to PWM.

Wow, really cool! Did any games use it, to your knowledge?

​@@nathandaniels4823 Yes, actually! - Jewel Mater uses it for an echo in it's intro theme: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LWIwamnvTK0.html - Shining in the Dark uses it for the same purpose, albeit extremely briefly in this song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkFxr9jfZuI.html - Mega Race uses it for some of its distorted guitars, most notably in Maeva, but in other songs also: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8GUjBXmyFjU.html There are probably others I missed, but Mega Race is probably the one that uses SSG-EG the most. It was actually that OST that inspired me to learn how to use SSG-EG in the first place. Similar techniques were also used for other soundchips, namely the YM2608 and the AY-3-8910, but with those, it functions a bit differently. Edit: formating
