Oh hell yes, he absolutely could. His SNES soundtracks (like Plok and Spiderman/X-Men) are just sublime. Equinox too, but that's definitely a more atmospheric style.
YA KNOW, PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE MORE TIM FOLLIN COVERS IN THE STYLE OF THIS ONE(BY HAVING THE DPCM CHANNEL SAMPLE THE INSTRUMENTS FORM TIME TRAX). THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
I'm actually working on a SNES cover using plok samples right now. Pretty much everything sounds pretty good, except for the drums because the samples are super quiet for some reason
@@KTJohnsonkidThunder It's pretty true. Curious enough, Tim used samples on Amiga and SNES heavily, with some more examples on C64, but didn't use samples in almost every other chip console. Spectrum, NES, almost every C64 and his only Megadrive soundtrack.
@@AmethystASTeRReisYALL Yeah, I liked that. This is far better but your version had magic too. Gotta love the obvious main theme mashuping. I'm almost missing the Pictionary part here haha
Damn, this version really does the song justice. It sounds exactly like what Tim Follin would compose on the NES if time trax was on that system instead.
looked through the nsf, you really managed to use litterally every trick and function you can do with the 2A03 that i know of. single channel echo, tons of arpeggios, using the pcm channel as a 3rd pulse channel + bass + drums, all the slides and vibratos to hit the groove on the nail. However no triangle kicks, but thats to be expected with sampled drums. Gotta say tho this sound like what would come out of the nes if follin learned how to use the pcm channel.
I'm late, but I still can't get over how fantastic this is. I remember rushing very very hard to dump the entire game's soundtrack when the prototype was first dumped. The end result was the Line In set for being a bit too hot. "F1RST" isn't a good thing! :P
You know just what I'm listening to, don't you? lmaoooooo Seriously, I've heard versions without DPCM before over on SiIva's channel posing as Pictionary, but the DPCM beats the shit out of those. Well made.
This is absolutely amazing! Especially love how the guitar translates to the pulse. One thing I'm kinda missing though is that noise-like demodulating sound at 1:33, with some slow pitch-bending periodic noise it could be replicated pretty well.
Thank you so much!! Both for making it, and for sharing the nsf!! EDIT: I'm completely stunned about how you managed to convert this complex song so flawlessly. Wow.
Makes me wonder, if you disable the DPCM and make the arps into the strict regulations what Stephen Ruddy's NES driver was capable of, then that would be the closest thing to ever sound like if this game was made on the NES instead of the Gensis. Other than that, amazing work man!

This is some sick shit my dude
danooct1 you're alive!
I miss the 8bitdanooct1 channel :c
Hi
Didn't expect you to be here
Goddamn is this giving me a solid Tim Follin groove. Sounds like he could've made it on the NES without much loss.
Thank you so much for this.

Yes and no. Follin NEVER used DPCM.

I made a version of this track for SiivaGunner but this ultimately blows out my version, great job on this!
The Pictionary rip?
@@AmethystASTeRReisYALL Yeah, I liked that. This is far better but your version had magic too. Gotta love the obvious main theme mashuping. I'm almost missing the Pictionary part here haha
And now there's another siiva version of this!
Yeah but you still did a great job with the rip.
The one in kfad?
WAIT, WHAT'S THIS I SEE, A TIM FOLLIN STYLE TUNE, USING THE DPCM CHANNEL, AND SAMPLING INSTRUMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF TIME TRAX?! AWESOME!
WAIT, IS THE DPCM CHANNEL BEING USED FOR BASS, LIKE WITH THE SUNSOFT BASS?! NICE!
yup yup, that’s a slap bass i put in and once i did i was like oh yeah this is happening
the duality of man
@@SwissVinyl Sonic adventure reference?
Sup.
Damn, this version really does the song justice. It sounds exactly like what Tim Follin would compose on the NES if time trax was on that system instead.
Thing is, Follin never used DPCM.
@@KTJohnsonkidThunder I said it sounds the same, not that the techniques are the same.

OH MY GOD
you absolute madman
Jesus, this is in the normal 2 rec / 1 tri / noise / DPCM setup and not the VRC6 setup?
You, sir, have my respect.
I'm late, but I still can't get over how fantastic this is.
I remember rushing very very hard to dump the entire game's soundtrack when the prototype was first dumped. The end result was the Line In set for being a bit too hot.
"F1RST" isn't a good thing! :P
Oh wow I already replied to this video 3 weeks earlier.
I can't pay attention for crap. :D
Inb4 Tim Follin appears in the comment section like Jeroen Tel did
@@voxel9470 you know, Tim made his own game. A pretty good one at that. Did all the music for it too.
Wot?
You know just what I'm listening to, don't you? lmaoooooo
Seriously, I've heard versions without DPCM before over on SiIva's channel posing as Pictionary, but the DPCM beats the shit out of those. Well made.
SAME HERE!
Those Pictionary rips were good enough for my music playlist. This deserves one of its own.
And now they're gone from the internet forever.
@@warmCabin not anymore
"lmaoooooo"?
You mean "laughing my ass off off off off off off"?
Man, doing this without the VRC6 channels is crazy, good job
This is absolutely amazing! Especially love how the guitar translates to the pulse.
One thing I'm kinda missing though is that noise-like demodulating sound at 1:33, with some slow pitch-bending periodic noise it could be replicated pretty well.
You mean for the triangle sound (the metal one, not the 2a03 one)? Noise channel can’t pitch bend, unfortunately. Only has about 16 different notes.
Yesss, thank you! This is one of my favorite Tim Follin songs, and when I saw it on my feed, I got excited! Awesome arrangement!
Better than I thought it would have turned out, and it's not even overclocked.
Thank you so much!! Both for making it, and for sharing the nsf!!
EDIT: I'm completely stunned about how you managed to convert this complex song so flawlessly. Wow.
Nailing that authentic Tim follin sound. You're amazing!
Incredible! I love this tune. NES magic.
Woah didnt expect to see you here.
Man, you really know how to capture the Tim Follin style. Solid work, my dude!
What a lovely take on the title theme of Time Trax, can we hope to see a mission briefing in the future? In the 50hz version, of course
Makes me wonder, if you disable the DPCM and make the arps into the strict regulations what Stephen Ruddy's NES driver was capable of, then that would be the closest thing to ever sound like if this game was made on the NES instead of the Gensis.
Other than that, amazing work man!
HOLY SHIT
HOW THIS IS A PURE NES, WITHOUT ANY CHIP, AND SOUND LIKE IT HAVE 1000000 EXPANSIONS!!!
GREATNESS INDEED!!!
I was just listening to this song before listening to this one. Nice job! 👍🏽
My goodness. You shall never stop transcending the limits of possibility.
I actually like this more than the Genesis version!
Jesus Christ you are an actual Famitracker god, HOW-
This really feeds my imagination.
Thanks for this epic piece of epic.
Hey, this is like completely nuts. Thanks
Absolute nuttery.
This is actually insane, how are you this good?
DUDE ! This is awesome !
Yes, it is ;)
@@supmattboy vazi kestufou la ?
Someone needs to cover Boston's Foreplay Follin style.
Mind = Blown!
this is sufficiently prog
HOLY SHIT! That's amazing.
Pure insanity.
too good
Mission Briefing next? :)
1.2 velocity for the 60hz version
Amazing bro
I got a bit of a dumb question - Is this track composed in Stereo somehow, or have my ears gone on the fritz again?
There’s some light stereo mixing in post, yeah.
Bugger. It was really messing with me.
I'm not going to lie, it's quite distracting to hear. :(
What the heck is that DPCM sample it is amazing
It's a Slap Bass sampled.
Woah sick
This is EPIC
1.25x speed for NTSC-but-slightly-too-fast mode
YES!!!
any chance you can do a cover of plok one of these days? maybe n163 can do the trick
He need to do a list of Follin's best of.
For real.
yeah boi tim folin
wow
Someone get this to play on hardware, NOW!
NICE
which software ???
Famitracker
@@GGVIC25 Thanks 😄
Holy fuck, how did Vinyl do the arps at 0:25?
what the fuck how
How come people make better music than me. Good music tho
1.25x speed for ntsc

Someone doesn't have a taste in music (as of now)...
wow
