Blast Processed Otaku Tunes

This is a collection of 16-bit covers of songs featured in various Japanese anime. Each one of these songs (with one exception) was made entirely in Deflemask, a chiptune tracker that stays as true to the original hardware as possible. With the right tools, they could be played back on an original Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

That system's hardware has a few limitations. In this particular case, I was limited to 5 channels of FM synthesis, 2 square wave channels, and 1 channel each for white noise and samples. This basically means at any given time there are a maximum of 7 instruments playing a single note, plus percussion. Also, every one of these covers was done by ear. No sheet music or MIDI files were used at any point.
