MegaMan Music on Sega SoundChip

Leave a comment

I’ll admit, I had heard of The Wily Wars but I had never played it, in fact I had no idea what it was. Turns out The Wily Wars was a game for the Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis) in 1994 that comprised of ported versions of MegaMan 1, 2 and 3, originally for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

What’s totally rad about this game, is all the music is re-done to play on Sega’s hardware. What that means for turbo geeks out there, if you’re into that crunch, crisp, punchy FM Synth sound, the Soundtrack for The Wily Wars has remakes of all of the MegaMan music from the first three games. Some are better than others, and some total kick ass.

The MegaMan Network has the soundtrack up as a free download! totally awesome!

And you know I had to post the CUTMAN theme >B] [audio: rm1-03-cutmanstage.mp3]

Chiptune Samples for Music Makers

3 Comments

I recently downloaded Nanoloop for my new iPad, in a quest to find a quick and fun way to make chippy kind of beats. I’m traveling to Germany this summer and I don’t want to bring my whole rig, but I definitly want a way to write music. Well, if you haven’t used Nanoloop, I suggest you check it out, it’s a supremely cool micromusic maker (6 tracks, each with one synth or sampler) and the interface on the iPhone/iPad is simply amazing.

What’s more amazing then any particular sequencing software, is this page I ran across today while searching for Chipmusic samples to load into Nanoloop. It holds a wealth of links to chiptune samples, and a ton of them are free. If you’re looking to make chiptune or chip inspired music and don’t know where your old gameboy is, this site will help you out.

Leave a comment

Chiptune blog TrueChipTillDeath is offering a super awesome way to help support those affected by the recent catastrophe in japan. Donate to the Red Cross and download an archive of 100 Chiptune Songs. Yeah, 100 of em. The archive is over 600MB and I’m proud to say I’m supporting this cause. I’m also stoked about all this new chiptunes.

If you’re looking for more ways to support Japan you can buy Hope For Tomorrow from Bandcamp, a collection of laid back instrumentals by some of the finest beat-makers. Music that makes you feel good.
