[Soundfont] Sega Genesis: Sonic 1 & 2 (Raw Samples)


I created this soundfonts (SF2) with the original samples directly extracted from the Sonic 1 & 2 roms (and not recorded from the console audio output). For the first time you can play with the original sound before being played/disorted/destroyed by the bad sound driver.
Sonic 1 used 4 sound samples to use as drums (Kick, Snare, Timpani, SegaChant). They are compressed as headerless 4-bit DPCM file. Sonic 2 used the same samples as Sonic 1 and added 4 more (Clap, Scratch, Tom, Bongo). I also used the game original pitches stored in the cartridge. So, there was one Timpani samples, but you'll have 5 different sounds from it (with adjusted sample rate). 

These are the sounds:

  • 1 Kick (Sonic 1 &2),
  • 1 Snare (Sonic 1 &2),
  • 5 Timpani (Sonic 1 &2),
  • 1 Clap (Sonic 2 only),
  • 1 Scratch (Sonic 2 only),
  • 4 Tom (Sonic 2 only),
  • 4 Bongo (Sonic 2 only).

Have fun with it! If you want to use them for any creation, a link to this page would be really appreciated. Don't forget to send me links to your tracks afterwards :)
