Oh my gosh. As a producer who’s always been profoundly inspired by this soundtrack, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this and every other upload like this.
Check out Alex Yard & Knuckles. You'll like that. I've been toying around with the sound chip and some…stuff. Squeezed a PSG into the empty register space at 0xBE on the OPL3; this is OPN2, derivative of OPNA (which has a much more complex PSG not present in the OPN2). Got space in there to add polyphony per channel, made it 6-operator, and made it possible to configure any operator algorithm mathematically possible (I even drew up a circuit of muxes to do that in hard IP). Then: I put the wavetable synthesis (OPL4) down in the register space (where it is on the YM278), added one more register space (0x200 wide) down from there for a stripped (no ADPCM, no timers) and extended (4-note per-channel polyphony, infinitely-configurable 4-op) OPNA; a FamiTracker synthesizer (which is exactly what it sounds like); and a quad-sid. Sonic 3 was where I started.
this should've been emphasized more tbh the music is still too cheery for the act I kinda hate this track for this it seems insensitive to what's happening like this part would be like watching your dog burn alive infront of you then 3 seconds later the rest of the channels are just cheering you on like you're the fire itself (⌐■-■)
@@3mar00ss6 The cheery vibe of the forest caught on fire, so it’s supposed to induce panic and intensity since you need to get out of there. You’re basically panicking and looking for a way to stop your dog from burning any further.
Perfectly illustrated just how underutilized the depth of sound on the megadrive was compared to the people working on Sonic 3 and why it sticks out as one of the musical masterpieces from that console.
When I played Sonic 3 as a kid, I always wondered what made Angel Island Act 2's theme more sombre than the act 1 version. It turns out that it is in minor, specifically c-minor! I am not surprised why this great track is one of the highlights of the S3&K OST.
@@SoNextJenn no it didn't, the SNES soundchip and the genesis soundchip can't be compared because they're completely different things, the SNES soundchip is a sampled chip and genesis soundchip is a FM synthesizer, they're both good but for different kinds of music
I wish i could compose music as well as this. Everything is so geniusly implement that it does not feel out of place at all. The melody, the bass, how can one get to such a point of mastery in composing music... It is sad that nobody is entirely sure who composed any of this music so i can not praise the author as much as i'd want to. This composition is literally perfect in every way and i cannot even comprehend how can a person sit down and just write a song this amazing. Not many will ever get this skillfull, oh no they wont, and if a individual can get so high that it is super rare to get close to his skill level... That's a thing nobody can take away from you.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sonic the Hedgehog songs, and recently gravitated towards this song. Took me a long while to realize this is probably the best song in S3. From seeing it deconstructed, see each channel's usage, to the totality of this amazing track is so cool. It's like we're slowly seeing it come alive in real time. Thanks for putting this together.
It's one of the best examples of the act transition too imo. It transforms with what's happening in the zone, but still sounds familiar. Giving you a weird mix of emotions as you play.
2:27 Why does it sound like they forgot to use the fine tune command on PSG1 for this section? It seems this is the only occurrence of deconstructive wave interference throughout the piece, and feels very unintentional. For those not versed in chiptune: The fine tune is used in this specific situation to add an echoey sound (it’s not how it makes the actual echo tho, those are made by using channel pattern delay). It basically enhances the echo effect overall and also provides a way to avoid deconstructive wave interference.
How are you doing this!?!? This sounds exactly like the same sound track. This is literally AWESOME!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Quadrillion stars for that!
I never used to like this song compared to act 1. But now that I- have a better understanding of theming, I have a better appreciation for it. It sounds more dangerous, and like it's on fire. I think subconsciously, it filled me with the low-key dread that was coming for the game. Especially towards the end of the track where there's an air of desperation. The drums feel more aggressive too. Kinda like they're marching you forward, rather than taking time to kick back and relax.
JNS Studios samples would be like the drums and clips of Michael Jackson saying “Go!” “Woo!” “Yeah!” and “Come on!”, which are always under the DAC in these videos, which means Digital Audio Converter. What you’re thinking of is patches, which is the term for the settings that make a specific sound with synthesizers
1:44 when the sky turns reddish, and a devastating gray cloud raises into the air the ashes of what was once a green, fresh and flowering biome that is now a landscape devastated at the hands of a ruthless being, everything seems ruined and without any solution... 1:58 But all is not lost, you remain determined to solve this misdeed and you move on because you know you can solve it, _you can do anything._
1:44 makes me think that the music is telling a story: the island is burning and can't do anything about it, no matter what you do, the jungle will burn until there is nothing left... But 1:58 reassures that and that you can and WILL save the island
Most of the songs in the Sonic 3 franchise are sad and somber songs like: Endless mine, Azure Lake, Angel Island act 2 and Desert Palace represent that
HONESTLY BRO ive been waiting for so long for someone to finally say that. that part of the song has always stood out to me the most, Like the "clave" in cuban music.
Micheal Jackson put a lot of love into this games music. Sad that he didn’t like the way it sounded on the 64 bit genesis as he requested his name be removed from the end credits in the music section. Most of the entire music library on Sonic 3 is his music including mini boss and special stages and bonus stages.
Mj barely did any work for Sonic 3, the only songs he could've done were Final CNZ and the Final Staff roll theme that is only used in S3A, the other tracks that were then removed in origins were handled by Brad Buxer & Co. Other than that the majority of the soundtrack was handled by sega sound team and Cube Corp.
Again, another easy guide to differ from the beta. The main chorus sounds closer to the PSGs in the beta than channels 3 and 4 in the final. Also, channel 3's notes around the second half of the chorus are quite softer in the beta than the final.
This song was already one of the greatest tracks in video game history and I had never even noticed the kickass bass (Channel 0) hidden underneath the rest of the instruments.
PSG2 can be used alongside PSG3, although if PSG2 is disabled, it allows PSG3 to play more varied tones. PSG2 does seem to be used for some sound effects such as jumping, in which you can notice the white noise getting cutoff temporarily.
@@tdawgmaster1729 the PSG channels are 8bit, fm channel 5 and 6 are also never used which channel 6 can change between fm and DAC which is the one that plays samples

I was actually surprised to find out that a lot of the "square wave" sounds were actually produced by the FM channels. Neat!
