Rip Sounds From Genesis Games and Playback With VOPM

200908160948.jpg


In honor of Sega Genesis 20th anniversary week here is some info from Sound Shack Forums, a forum solely dedicated to FM Synthesis????? on how to rip voices from Sega Genesis games (.gym and vgm formats) and using them with VOPM FM VST synthesizer.




This info was found deep in a page I'd rather not bother linking to.


VOPM - an X68000 OPM chip emulator.



http://www.geocities.jp/sam_kb/VOPM/


and a program to rip instruments from Sega Genesis GYM music into VOPM format - http://soundshock.se/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=242



Shiru made a program to rip instrument patches from VGM format into VOPM format - http://shiru.untergrund.net/software.htm
More FM modules available here - http://park14.wakwak.com/~valsound//fm_lib.html - Actually originally from Shiru's TFM tracker...
MaliceX ripped some MDX timbres from games and put them in his site's downloads section - http://djtbmx.soulbreakers.com/







Hopefully this info gets you started into the FM ripping or at least some good FM sounds!!

Need 4 Mophos? Get the Tetr4 from Dave Smith!!

200908160913.jpg



  • Affordable, fully programmable poly synth with a 100% analog signal path.


  • Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filter.


  • Four-part multitimbral capability with four separate outputs.


  • Combo Mode for huge unison patches, stacked sequences, and "modular-style" poly sounds.


  • Expandable: poly chain with other Tetras, Prophet '08, and Mopho for expanded polyphony


  • Just 7.9" x 5" (20.07 cm x 12.7 cm).


  • Free editor for Mac OS and Windows.


Overview

Tetra is our next-generation analog poly synth. Tetra takes the award-winning sound and features of Mopho, multiplies them by four, and packs them in a box less than half an inch larger!


Tetra has multiple personalities. It is a four-voice, analog poly synth, a sort of “mini Prophet.” It's a four-part, multitimbral synth with separate outputs, essentially four Mophos in one verycompact box. And it’s a voice expander for other Tetras or the Prophet ’08.

Here is a Demo Vid!

Paypal / Web Store


Its come to my attention that Paypal payments might not be going through in the store. I suspect that its something simple like my webcart system needs to be upgraded to meet paypal's specs. While I could probably switch the system to something else, I think I will try to to patch it. I'll let you know if its going to take awhile. In the meantime people can email me if there is anything pressing they need.



Thanks for being patient and thanks to the people who let me know about the issue. I'll let you know when its fixed.



This was an issue on Paypal's end and not with my site.


Update: Issue is FIXED. Email me if you have any outstanding concerns.
