  • This week on the FMA: 8GB

    akira_lowSummer fun is distracting, but we have another FMA profile this week,  8gb:

    Speaking of globetrotting, this weeks artist, 8GB is a well seasoned world traveler himself, playing shows throughout Europe and the United States before recently returning to his native Argentina. His style owes far more to the electronic and dance scenes then to anything from retro game music, and you need only checkout this release from 8bitpeoples to get a glimpse of his raw beat making prowess.

  • Little-Scale Sega Midi Updates

    100_0504Nomad

    I thought I would mention that my Sega Mega Drive / Genesis MIDI interface is now compatible with the Sega Nomad. Demo video here. As I often say with these sorts of updates, join the Gen/MDM Google Announcements Group to be notified of when this device will be available.

    SN76489

    Finally, I’ve had a chance to add support for the SN76489 PSG chip in the Sega Mega Drive for my MIDI interface. The thing I love about the Mega Drive is the FM sound (which is why I’ve been concentrating on that), but of course everyone wants access to the PSG as well. The SN76489 support is basically a port from my Sega Master System MIDI interface, and includes many (but not all) of the latter’s functions and features.

  • Yatagarasu on the The Creepy Touch! Vodcast(NSFW)
