I remember leaving my sega genesis, sega cd and especially sega saturn on just to listen to the melodies of the games, and I still do it today ... just with out the games. Sega is the only reason this blog exist and I probably wouldn't care or have any level of appreciation for music if it wasn't for them, I would have been stuck between life and a radio and what a waste that would have been.
I also believe that this equipment was used in most or all games from Sega CD - Dreamcast.

If you would like to make music of your own that sounds very similar to the sounds of the Yamaha YM2612 Sound Chip (Genesis/Megadrive) try our these selections.

I was actually able to get in contact with one of the producers and composers (Spencer Nilsen) for the US Sonic CD album ...
"On the Sonic CD soundtrack I was using mostly Yamaha, Korg, Roland, and E-mu synths of many different models, and sequencing with Opcode's Studio Vision Pro software. However, there were also a lot of live musicians playing guitars, drums & percussion and, of course, the female singing group, Pastiche on vocals!" ..."I didn't use a Yamaha TQ5. I'd say I used mostly Korg WaveStation, the E-mu Proteus modules, E-max sampler and MPS keyboard, and Roland JV-880 and JV 1080 synths. I'd probably pick the E-mu synths/sample players because of their diversity, depth and organic sound."
