I love how the Atari Pokey Bass switches up its PWM over the octaves so that the lower notes have more overtones and the higher notes are just straight up squares. That makes it for me the clear winner, no other basses in this demo alternate their waveform for the sake of preserving overtone-richness.
@@noahsabadish3812 The 6581 filter square bass. The 6581 was the first generation of the SID chip, the sound chip for the Commodore 64. It was followed in later versions by the 8580.
6581 filter square bass is superb! Namco WSG is great too. I love how grungy the Famicon's Sunsoft bass is. Atari TA is cool too. Tbh all of these are great
Yeah I still think the Genesis Bass is my favorite, even though Sunsoft and C64 are also very close to my heart hahah Overall they are all great bass sounds that can be used very differently and sound great when used properly! ^^
Definitely the YM2612 and 6581 The Namco bass also has an interesting bit to it that I think could have a lot of range. I just prefer YM2612 and 6581 because they stand well on their own
Having grown up with the 6581 Filter Square Bass from the C64, my initial reaction was that one. But then I heard the Namco WSG Bass. Floored the competition. That's my absolute favorite from this lineup.
1. SUNSOFT - it's beautiful. only problem is that the bits were reversed so noise :( 2. Atari 2600 - Idk why but I imagine this in some kind of horror game or something. I like it 3. C64 Square - It sounds nice but it also sounds messy. 4. Sonic 1/2 - I've heard it so many times in Genesis soundfont remixes. It's bland to me. However, when it works, it works. 5. Atari 8-Bit Computer - Basically a worse 2600 Bass. 6. Namco WSG - Not really my taste.

I've only really stumbled into your stuff man, I saw part 1 the other day, but thank you for showing off incredible skill here. I have always loved the Genesis bass twang. Probably old love for Sonic. The Atari Pokey Bass is also nice, I love the charm it just feels like nostalgia to me.
I love square waves. I'm not normally a fan of the SID chip but I LOVE this "filter square" here. Could you give details about how this particular sound was formed? Is this something heard a lot in SID music or it is unusual?
As I said in part 1: YM2612 Sega Genesis... Because C R I S P Y C R U N C H Y B A S S. Still, I actually do like the Famicom/NES Sunsoft Bass. My second favorite is the Namco WSG Bass but I think the most unique sounding one though, is the 6581 Filter Square Bass.
@@SubroOrbus oh yeah, "modern" Sunsoft might be halted by compression but anyone hearing genesis bass would go "wait is that the #retro sonic bass???‼️‼️"
The Namco Bass is actually just a sampled FM Bass Waveform that had been bit-crushed to death. Still sounds good. Specifically, it looks a lot like a Bass sound from an OPL Soundchip.
6581 of course! its my favourite sound chip and im so hyped for the new ASIC reimplementation of it that the Avalon Semiconductors AS6581x8 will bring us. 8 custom silicone SIDs in a single package!

Would like swing rhythm on video 1 and 2 since the full exists.

Part 1 was recommended to me the other day, and now I've been blessed with part 2.
Definitely need more of this in my life.
Same with me here
Same :D
Exactly
Haha me too
So many people
@@mrturtle8579 indeed XD
I always liked the genesis bass because it actually sounds like bass
Sunsoft sounds more like bass than genesis
@@ssg-eggunneryeah but there’s a ton of noise as well
@@ssg-eggunner Strong disagree. It sounds like someone with a scratchy voice humming the bass notes through their nose.
@@hunzhurte i don't hear anyone humming
@@greenberrygk the noise makes it better
Don't know how I ended up here, but my favorites are the C64 bass and the Mega Drive bass.
Based and Unbased at the same time
Based
i can agree with the mega drive one but hell nah to the c64 bass im sorry man but the c64 sounds pretty bad lol
@@pr0t0r0gu3 it's the other way around

When even Virtual Riot himself is here, you know this is some good stuff
omg vertel rot
NO WAY IT'S VIRTUAL RIOT
No way it's Virtu... OH MA GOD!
OMG HI VIRTUAL RIOT
Anticipating the combo the whole time and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED.
I need a whole song with the full combo at the end. It’s such a rich sound but still has that retro synth feel
I have always loved the C64 envelope filter bass, so I have to go with that as number 1. The Sonic-style bass and Sunsoft bass are really good too!
which one is the C64?!
@@noahsabadish3812 The 6581 filter square bass. The 6581 was the first generation of the SID chip, the sound chip for the Commodore 64. It was followed in later versions by the 8580.
I love the sound the sunsoft bass makes with drawn out/longer spaces between notes

Tbh all of these are great
Sounds like aphrodite
@@MarsAttack23nope just someone humming
i also liked the filter square base the most
0:38 Bro this just goes hardd
That sunsoft bass 🔥its got some kinda vocalization that hits
I love how cool it sounds when all of them are combined
All of them mixed together sounded perfectly crunchy.
The Genesis/Mega drive sounds the best to me.
How?
@@ssg-eggunner Me too, I simply love those plucky, pure FM basses, that's just my personal taste.
Same
@@thedoublek4816 i've seen a better one that is just as plucky
Didn't expect all together to sound so awesome!
It didn't
You disrespectful
@@SCP-6600 Am i?
Atari ones are so classic, but that Namco is really timeless and even futuristic .
depends on how the timbre interacts with the rest of the instruments
All of them together. Such a cool sound.
I love how some of these sound so aggressive. Gets you amped up for a difficult level it feels like.
That mega drive bass is such a classic
I like the basement Sega Genesis because it reminds me of the base patch you would find in the DX7 that was used Kenny loggins song
DX7 sounds better tough
Yeah I still think the Genesis Bass is my favorite, even though Sunsoft and C64 are also very close to my heart hahah
Overall they are all great bass sounds that can be used very differently and sound great when used properly! ^^
Definitely the YM2612 and 6581

genesis and atari are soooo amazing!
all of them combined is a BANGER

rarely thought of, but it could be the winner here!
All of them at once is so beautiful.
Listening to them individually I was like "these are alright" And then they all played together and like woah
still banging a year later, can we get more? Ill listen to a whole song of this
1. SUNSOFT - it's beautiful. only problem is that the bits were reversed so noise :(
2. Atari 2600 - Idk why but I imagine this in some kind of horror game or something. I like it

Number 4 is why I listen to Deflemask/Furnace-made Gen/MD covers. They don’t use no soundfonts
That sunsoft bass scratches just tge right itch for me
im gonna go with the 6581 Filter Square Bass because it just looks cool
mega drive definitely, so much nostalgia, plus my mega drive still gets used to this day
Sega is my #1, but prolly because of nostalgia. I was a Genesis kid growing up. After that, Atari TIA & Namco sound amazing
The wave form artifacts in the namco were pretty cool sounding.
6: 6581 Filter Square
5: Namco WSG
4: Atari TIA
3: Atari Pokey Square
2: Genesis Sonic Basic
1: NES Sunsoft
The first two are definitely my top.
It’s probably because of my sonic brainrot, but I’ll have to go with the genesis one
The Atari 2600 bass really makes you feel like your space is being invaded.
I've only really stumbled into your stuff man, I saw part 1 the other day, but thank you for showing off incredible skill here. I have always loved the Genesis bass twang. Probably old love for Sonic. The Atari Pokey Bass is also nice, I love the charm it just feels like nostalgia to me.
i'm pretty sure it will be very popular, and will appear in recommendations around 10 years
the genisis bass continues to destroy all sense of competition
Too true
Wavetable chips have a lot of potential. I love their use in other chips like HuC6280, N163 and FDS.
You did the 6581 in a different way than I would have liked, but given its flexibility I’d say it’s my favourite
Man, Atari NEVER disappoint in these videos. Just so raw and comparatively heavy
I love square waves. I'm not normally a fan of the SID chip but I LOVE this "filter square" here. Could you give details about how this particular sound was formed? Is this something heard a lot in SID music or it is unusual?
Many SID music uses filtered square wave basssssss
the riff frikken slaps when they all come in at the one time
As I said in part 1: YM2612 Sega Genesis... Because C R I S P Y C R U N C H Y B A S S.
Still, I actually do like the Famicom/NES Sunsoft Bass. My second favorite is the Namco WSG Bass but I think the most unique sounding one though, is the 6581 Filter Square Bass.
To be fair, Atari 2600 is crunchy as well.
@@AymenZero It has a LOT of C R U N C H, actually, even more than the Sega, but not enough C R I S P.
Crispy and crunchy bass... Huh, sounds tasty
I adore the namco bass, such a playful yet grungy tone

1: Atari Pokey
2: Sunsoft
3: TIA
4: WSG
5: SID
6: Genesis

no bitchs
How
The 6581 filter square bass just has a special vibe I really like
Genesis sounds best, but the 2600 has the soul of retro.
All six together are really dope too
It is a noise channel (short waveform) that can be used in any 8 bit system.
They are all cool in their own way, but damn the synergy when they play together.
The Atari bass is by far my favorite with Sega a distant third
The last one really stands out, it’s totes my fave!
Imma be different and say that Atari Pokey Bass and TIA 2600 Bass are amazing. They instantly feel like retro music!
The Sega Genesis is probably my favorite of these, and I also liked the Ataris.
0:13 pac man sound 2x zoom be like
all of them together sound like the end synth in windowlicker
My favorites are those from Mega Drive and WSG
if you play part 1 and part 2 with all the bass at once, it goes mad crazy
Genesis bass is unmatched still imo
Sunsoft*
@@ssg-eggunner Genesis*
Sunsoft sounds kinda relaxing, but Genesis sounds more modern, which makes it better in my opinion.
@@ssg-eggunner Don't be going around saying stuff like that, you could get hated.
@@SubroOrbus i don't care about hate
@@SubroOrbus oh yeah, "modern"
Sunsoft might be halted by compression but anyone hearing genesis bass would go "wait is that the #retro sonic bass???‼️‼️"
i need... ''full version'' of this one..
There is! check out my channel
Love the FM Genesis bass best
my favorite bass line was the friends we made along the way😊
sunsoft bass will always be based
TRUE

Something about the genesis soundfont brings me joy.
They don’t sound good on their own but somehow when you combined them it was perfect
I like the genesis/mega drive bass, and it's the only one i actually use out of these.
The Namco Bass is actually just a sampled FM Bass Waveform that had been bit-crushed to death. Still sounds good. Specifically, it looks a lot like a Bass sound from an OPL Soundchip.
0:19 Ngl though, I kinda like the sound of this bass.
Atari's pokey bass and sunsoft bass sound very awesome for a sid chip
The first one sounds the most like a guitar while the last one sounds just sounds the coolest
My Favorite Retro Bass is 6581 Filter Square Bass and Atari TIA (2600) Bass
0:19 I'd like more of that bass! It's fascinating to me! ;)
The square wave sounds are quite interesting ^.^
All of them😎
Also guitar riff sounds like somethin really cool will kick in
1 & 5
5 if tuned to catch that one tone in a certain way
The sonic bass is still used today for retro 16 bit games, its so iconic and my favorite
I honestly can't pick a fave. They all kinda have their own charm
Сладость для ушей
My favourites are usually the ones with the most simple waveform.
Grouping them all together makes it sound like a KMFDM song.
They named the second last one after me? I’m happy!
Sega Genesis. Probably because I grew up with it the most. Though the old Atari ones remind me of my grandpa and also bring me joy.
Genesis and 6581 SID.
Though the combined one is awesome too.
6581 of course! its my favourite sound chip and im so hyped for the new ASIC reimplementation of it that the Avalon Semiconductors AS6581x8 will bring us. 8 custom silicone SIDs in a single package!
I like how grimy the Atari ones sound
My favorites are the Namco WSG Bass and the Commodore 64 Filter Square Bass
i love the old sega bass, it sounds so nice
1,5 and 6.Also all together sounds very cool.
Mega Drive bass takes the cake here.
the namco bass makes it feel like the intro to a sick boss theme
annalynn moment
6581 was my favorite
filter square bass is the best imo cause i just love clear square bass lines from my yamaha cs
The second base sounded like a deeper version of the fourth base in your last video
Mega Drive is go-to Retro Bass.👍
Always been my favourite.
The 6581 reminds me of old 80's pop/disco music for some reason
6581 Filter Square Bass was my favorite.
