Fun Fact: The SEGA-CD sound chip works exactly as the sound chip used in the SNES, so it plays instruments based in samples (soundfonts). This is why it sounds like a Yoshi's Island music, because it uses some of the same instruments. EDIT: YOU FOOLS, THIS IS 4 YEARS OLD, I ALREADY KNOW BY NOW!!!
@@gammaboost If the Nintendo PS ever existed, it would be like Sega-CD, but with a more powerfull Soundchip, just like the PSX one playing the Crash/Spyro OST. Even so, it would have a more complete variety of instruments and Synths to work with, so the possibilities are infinite.

do you mean limited number of sounds playing at the same time...? because up to 8 samples (7 + SFX here) can play at the time on the Sega CD's sound chip, whereas on the stock Genesis/MD it's 1 sample at a time plus 5 FM synth channels and 2 tone and 1 noise
I don't remember if Sonic Team was formed by this point, but I do agree that Masafumi Ogata and Naofumi Hataya both made phenomenal compositions for this game.
I love channel 2. On its own it’s very silent and almost invisible, but it serves as a massive improvement for when the main instrument comes. It just goes crazy and sounds amazing, putting a spicy tone to the mix
That's delay/echo chanel- basically duplicate of the 3rd channel but with delay and lower volume. number of Sega Megadrive/genesis games had that used.
Why do the pianos, both tine electric and acoustic, sound so good in this compressed, digitised form? It’s like the compression also gave the the samples more character.
Oh my, it is as well. If there is ever a hotel that celebrates a week of games, play Channel 4, 5 and 7 and there you have a great tune for riding up the building. Might have trouble leaving with such good music.
@Alexander Gaudion I did 2 playthroughs of the game with the 2 soundtracks I ended up preferring the US soundtrack but the JP soundtrack is just as awesome
Stumbled across while looking for palm tree panic remixes, and hearing all the channels used independently before being played together was actually really fascinating. I already loved this song, but this video gave me an even deeper appreciation of not only the song itself but the process of its composition. Thank you
great to see it deconstructed. the song always gave me an emptyness feeling, some kind of aesthetic instrument is making me feel this way the song just feels like the past you know? the weird thing is that this song dosnt realy compare to any of the past titles, even still being played thru channels, it dosnt have that sonic kind of style which is what makes it so good the song feels so surreal and out of place for a sonic game
This gives me so many memories about how Sonic was such a major part of my life. It connected me to so many people and this game's JP music was such a major stepping stone to lead me to the music I enjoy and create now. Thanks for these uploads, these memories are comforting and I'm glad people are out here doing this to remind us all of the hard work that goes into these tracks
Wow. I love this song, really sells the prehistoric feel. The bass is great, the Piano sounds a bit weird but still great. Whatever Channel 2 and 4 are doing, keep on keeping on. Channel 5 makes some unique wack sounds sometimes but it's still real nice. I like the way unused Channels become drums and percussion, smart move. Overall it's a jam and I love this soundtrack, I have THE ENTIRE THING (Including album versions, both JPN/PAL and US versions and Official Remixes and let me tell you. Not a waste of space.
@@DMARrecords Actually, I think that was a issue of the driver, because I made a few tunes using that chip and had the same issue (but the samples were normal).
My first play of the song was the version included in the Sonic Gems Collection, and I was surprised when I learned that it was played on the Sega CD's built-in synthesizer. The quality is not inferior at all when compared to the other songs on the CD.
the first part of it is so nostalgic for some dumb reason. it's not like I've played sonic cd as a kid, non of us did but I heard this track when I was younger
The bass is such a vibe
its awesome
Your banner isnt suggestive at all 🤨🤨
It gives undertale vibes for some reason

I think they were trying to go for an echo effect. It was common in Sonic games.
@@AverageJoeMama Most old games in general, to give them that extra oomph they need

1:33 First ever echo effect used for a song in a Sonic game (This was 3 months before Sonic 3). The same genius idea was then used for Marble Garden
Emerald Hill Zone also uses an echo. Can't remember if any tracks in S1 used one, though.
Retro games did this a ton. It just mimics delay, which as an echo effect. It was used a ton is S3K
@@DelayRGC pretty sure that Sonic 1 does it a few times on the PSG

It reminds you of a simpler time, when being high-quality wasn't needed to be good
@@TechBlade9000 Exactly, that's why most people look back on stuff that wasn't pushing so hard to be special and stuff
Some samples naturally benefit from the punchiness or give a nostalgic or oldy tone.
It’s kinda like when vinyl is added to make something sound more homely, it just kinda warms the sample
@@TechBlade9000 Back then where people trying to improvise and being innovative at the same time.
Without channel 0, it's elevator music

Channel 2 is a echo to the flute in Channel 3 which makes it sound better
4 is the 2nd piano
4:15 the fretless bass absolutely rocks here.
Is so magic.
4:44 is such a dream, especially with that little deep 'BOOP BOOP!' at 4:52 and 5:02
Literally my favourite part of the track in general
This is too good to be compared with elevator music
I don't know why "elevator music"... I always imagined some hotel pool area or some pretty restaurant over water!
0:22 why do I hear star man aka super mario star power up
Channel 7 is the real magic of this song and don't mind me just putting my favorite time stamp 0:52
3:20 is the best part tbh
4:45 best part
Yay palmtree panic :D I especially love the past version
the percussion loop is actually slightly too slow for the sequence, which is why it "jumps ahead" a little at the start of each bar.
Channel 1/2/3 playing together alone is so chill. I can totally picture this playing in a mall or an elevator

That's part of the sound samples
@@sllvksacgsakjc9357 Nope, it isn't. I got the RAW samples, and It doesn't heave this sound. Maybe is the emulation.
