I always liked the genesis bass because it actually sounds like bass

Don't know how I ended up here, but my favorites are the C64 bass and the Mega Drive bass.

Part 1 was recommended to me the other day, and now I've been blessed with part 2. Definitely need more of this in my life.

I love how the Atari Pokey Bass switches up its PWM over the octaves so that the lower notes have more overtones and the higher notes are just straight up squares. That makes it for me the clear winner, no other basses in this demo alternate their waveform for the sake of preserving overtone-richness.

Anticipating the combo the whole time and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED.

I have always loved the C64 envelope filter bass, so I have to go with that as number 1. The Sonic-style bass and Sunsoft bass are really good too!

I need a whole song with the full combo at the end. It’s such a rich sound but still has that retro synth feel

6581 filter square bass is superb! Namco WSG is great too. I love how grungy the Famicon's Sunsoft bass is. Atari TA is cool too. Tbh all of these are great

0:38 Bro this just goes hardd

I love the sound the sunsoft bass makes with drawn out/longer spaces between notes

That sunsoft bass 🔥its got some kinda vocalization that hits

I love how cool it sounds when all of them are combined

The Genesis/Mega drive sounds the best to me.

Didn't expect all together to sound so awesome!

I like the basement Sega Genesis because it reminds me of the base patch you would find in the DX7 that was used Kenny loggins song

All of them mixed together sounded perfectly crunchy.

Definitely the YM2612 and 6581 The Namco bass also has an interesting bit to it that I think could have a lot of range. I just prefer YM2612 and 6581 because they stand well on their own

Atari ones are so classic, but that Namco is really timeless and even futuristic .

depends on how the timbre interacts with the rest of the instruments

the genisis bass continues to destroy all sense of competition

Yeah I still think the Genesis Bass is my favorite, even though Sunsoft and C64 are also very close to my heart hahah Overall they are all great bass sounds that can be used very differently and sound great when used properly! ^^

all of them combined is a BANGER

That mega drive bass is such a classic

Sega is my #1, but prolly because of nostalgia. I was a Genesis kid growing up. After that, Atari TIA & Namco sound amazing

6: 6581 Filter Square 5: Namco WSG 4: Atari TIA 3: Atari Pokey Square 2: Genesis Sonic Basic 1: NES Sunsoft

All of them together. Such a cool sound.

Listening to them individually I was like "these are alright" And then they all played together and like woah

mega drive definitely, so much nostalgia, plus my mega drive still gets used to this day

Having grown up with the 6581 Filter Square Bass from the C64, my initial reaction was that one. But then I heard the Namco WSG Bass. Floored the competition. That's my absolute favorite from this lineup.

The Sega Genesis is probably my favorite of these, and I also liked the Ataris.

1. SUNSOFT - it's beautiful. only problem is that the bits were reversed so noise :( 2. Atari 2600 - Idk why but I imagine this in some kind of horror game or something. I like it 3. C64 Square - It sounds nice but it also sounds messy. 4. Sonic 1/2 - I've heard it so many times in Genesis soundfont remixes. It's bland to me. However, when it works, it works. 5. Atari 8-Bit Computer - Basically a worse 2600 Bass. 6. Namco WSG - Not really my taste.

I've only really stumbled into your stuff man, I saw part 1 the other day, but thank you for showing off incredible skill here. I have always loved the Genesis bass twang. Probably old love for Sonic. The Atari Pokey Bass is also nice, I love the charm it just feels like nostalgia to me.

genesis and atari are soooo amazing!

I like the genesis/mega drive bass, and it's the only one i actually use out of these.

im gonna go with the 6581 Filter Square Bass because it just looks cool

I love how some of these sound so aggressive. Gets you amped up for a difficult level it feels like.

Imma be different and say that Atari Pokey Bass and TIA 2600 Bass are amazing. They instantly feel like retro music!

Wavetable chips have a lot of potential. I love their use in other chips like HuC6280, N163 and FDS.

Genesis sounds best, but the 2600 has the soul of retro. All six together are really dope too

Genesis and 6581 SID. Though the combined one is awesome too.

You did the 6581 in a different way than I would have liked, but given its flexibility I’d say it’s my favourite

That sunsoft bass scratches just tge right itch for me

It’s probably because of my sonic brainrot, but I’ll have to go with the genesis one

i'm pretty sure it will be very popular, and will appear in recommendations around 10 years

As I said in part 1: YM2612 Sega Genesis... Because C R I S P Y C R U N C H Y B A S S. Still, I actually do like the Famicom/NES Sunsoft Bass. My second favorite is the Namco WSG Bass but I think the most unique sounding one though, is the 6581 Filter Square Bass.

All of them at once is so beautiful.

The Atari bass is by far my favorite with Sega a distant third

6581 of course! its my favourite sound chip and im so hyped for the new ASIC reimplementation of it that the Avalon Semiconductors AS6581x8 will bring us. 8 custom silicone SIDs in a single package!

Genesis bass is unmatched still imo

Man, Atari NEVER disappoint in these videos. Just so raw and comparatively heavy

I love square waves. I'm not normally a fan of the SID chip but I LOVE this "filter square" here. Could you give details about how this particular sound was formed? Is this something heard a lot in SID music or it is unusual?

My favorites are the Namco WSG Bass and the Commodore 64 Filter Square Bass

me: 1: Atari Pokey 2: Sunsoft 3: TIA 4: WSG 5: SID 6: Genesis

The first two are definitely my top.

My favorites are those from Mega Drive and WSG

Grouping them all together makes it sound like a KMFDM song.

sunsoft bass will always be based

my favorite bass line was the friends we made along the way😊

Love the FM Genesis bass best

1 & 5 5 if tuned to catch that one tone in a certain way

They don’t sound good on their own but somehow when you combined them it was perfect

Atari's pokey bass and sunsoft bass sound very awesome for a sid chip

I love how the bass of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive sounds guitar likeish

They are all cool in their own way, but damn the synergy when they play together.

The Atari 2600 bass really makes you feel like your space is being invaded.

all of them together sound like the end synth in windowlicker

genesis bass is that ICONIC retro gaming sound (for me that is) i grew up a snes kid i never saw alot of genesis till emulation

Mega Drive bass takes the cake here.

still banging a year later, can we get more? Ill listen to a whole song of this

The Namco Bass is actually just a sampled FM Bass Waveform that had been bit-crushed to death. Still sounds good. Specifically, it looks a lot like a Bass sound from an OPL Soundchip.

The 6581 reminds me of old 80's pop/disco music for some reason

0:19 I'd like more of that bass! It's fascinating to me! ;)

The wave form artifacts in the namco were pretty cool sounding.

Sega Genesis. Probably because I grew up with it the most. Though the old Atari ones remind me of my grandpa and also bring me joy.

First was amazing but the last is weirdly nostalgic for me and i can't pinpoint it.

I adore the namco bass, such a playful yet grungy tone

the riff frikken slaps when they all come in at the one time

I’m kind of in love with the 6581. It has a much cleaner and more synth-y sound.

My favourites are usually the ones with the most simple waveform.

Something about the genesis soundfont brings me joy.

The square wave sounds are quite interesting ^.^

I really love how Heemin actually tried to make Atari Pokey's bassline one of the best! (and it actually did, great job mate.)

You should do something like this, but with at least most of the Sonic's basses.

Genesis + sunsoft for sure. Genesis sounds cleaner and more refined, but the noise in Sunsoft makes it sound unique and charming.

filter square bass is the best imo cause i just love clear square bass lines from my yamaha cs

Filter square and genesis for sure

I can recognize and feel familiar the Namco WSG Bass, because is one of the instruments used in the 3 bomberman games for PC Engine / TurboGrafx/16: Bomberman, Bomberman'93 and Bomberman'94. The 2 last ones have more presence of the Namco Bass in the soundtrack

6581 Filter Square Bass was my favorite.

The last one really stands out, it’s totes my fave!

Not gonna lie this sounds like an early Ministry song and I'm here for it

The 6581 filter square bass just has a special vibe I really like

Nice bass, thanks for sharing! I think I like the first one the best this time. The Pokey bass is really good too!

I like how grimy the Atari ones sound

namco all day baby, just wish there was some decay to the higher frequency components after note onset

The sonic bass is still used today for retro 16 bit games, its so iconic and my favorite

0:13 pac man sound 2x zoom be like

My favorite C64 basses comes from PRI. Their piece Slap Chill-Out has to be the best bass from an 80's computer I've ever listened to

0:19 Ngl though, I kinda like the sound of this bass.

No console, from any time, without the aid of PCM audio, could outperform the C64 SID. It set the bar for 'chiptune' perfection IMHO.
