Mega Man: The Sequel Wars OST - MM5 Boss (SAGE Demo Edition) (YM2612)

This is one of several covers, arrangements and original pieces I've written for Mega Man: The Sequel Wars, a remake/remix of the last 3 NES Mega Man games for the Sega Genesis. You can download the latest version of the game (up to Mega Man 4) on Romhacking.net (https://www.romhacking.net/homebrew/183/) or Itch.io (https://woodfrog.itch.io/mega-man-the..., and be sure to follow the game's development on its Twitter account (  / mmsequelwars  ) or YouTube page (   / @sequelwars5870  .

I wasn't planning on uploading this song at first. Normally, I have a strict policy against sub-minute-long arrangements—the main reason why my previous covers both have unique second loops—, but the tight deadlines for the demo forced me to stick to the original song's curt 40 second runtime. I'll have an updated version of the track at some point in the near future, but this should do nicely for the two people who DM'd me after the demo's release. As for the track itself, there isn't much to say about it other than a few new techniques I tried out for its sound design (chordal FM patches, scaling the operator MULT factor for a psuedo-resonance effect) and the fact that it stays true to the original song's intentions by leaving the game's 3 sound effect channels open in its intro (Woodfrog used a few sampled effects for Charge Man that clash against these goals, but it's a minor problem).
