If you're in the mood for Sega music, check out: https://mmontag.github.io/chip-player-js/browse/Sega%20Genes... Huge library of game music. Not quite 100% hardware accurate as I remember it though!

Woah this is amazing, thank you for sharing.

Be sure to check the hydra level song of thunderforce III. Possibly one of the best video game music ever.

I expected to look at some assembly code with, but it wasn't that bad of build either. Great controller.

Edit: apparently the software part is handled by little-scale's genMDM project: it provides a MIDI interface and the associated software: https://catskullelectronics.com/products/genmdm?variant=2939...

Unfortunately it seems that catskull has stopped selling them, otherwise I would have loved to play around with my old megadrive again!
Aissen
Yup, saw that, catscull is out of stock, and littlescale's website domain has lapsed (albeit well archived). And the ROM is closed-source (but shouldn't be too hard to reverse).

That guy is insanely productive (his real YT channel is at https://www.youtube.com/c/LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER )

My favorite creation of his is the Furby Organ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o). Which is as insane as it sounds for anyone who's never seen it :)

I'll throw in two of my favourites:

Recording A Room In A Room 20 Times - Audio Inception https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIlT7U0ILu4

Over 1000 Vintage Synthesizers all in one room, I felt like a kid in a candy shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrPLBSlopQ

Saw him live before the pandemic.

One of the best shows I ever attended.

1000% - his channel is a treasure trove of random synthesizer, music and general retro tech.

A nice song he made about the folks who said he wouldn't be able to get the church organ up and running again - https://youtube.com/shorts/XGL3rskcQD0
