Check out The How To On The Little scale site little-scale.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-build-sega-master-system-midi.html
Im not sure the actual origins of the actual PCB's i got, i dont think they were made by little scale, there are a few different random logo's on their. maybe somebody knows!
i think they may have been made by someone in a forum somewhere long ago!

Nice one!!
Cool stuff, thanks! czcams.com/video/CUDYoq7r7zo/video.html
"Looks cooler than it sounds" - well it sounds pretty gosh-darned awesome to me - so it must look Epic!
Megadrive would be cool, but holy hell complicated.
Hey @LookMumNoComputer if you're after a mega drive I will happily donate you a mark one, it's already been modified to run RGB colours and the clock and language mod switches to go from 50-60HZ and English or Japanese :)
This guy is like a mad scientist with audio devices and equipment.
jay mon agree! But we could remove the word like because he definitely is a mad scientist!
Without the fakery because I smell sincere passion. No need for showmanship.

@Marino The Natsarim congratz you win the internet with that comment LOL
With a little twist of late 80's Rivet head.
Goodness.
This man builds a soundboard out of a SEGA Master System. You have taken my childhood and revived it once more. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
The mastersystem ‘s sound chip is integrated with the graphics chip, also on the mastersystem model 1. The chip is also in the megadrive as well for backwards compatibility. If you get a megadrive, the Model 1 is recommend as it has the discrete YM 2612, in some model 2 units it’s integrated. The 2612 is a 4 operator, 8 algorithm capable chip, it’s pretty advanced and totally wicked. You get a lot of FM goodness with it👌.
You do have to watch out on the model 1s, as there's the VA7. It's pretty much a model 2 in a model 1 case.
@@madmax2069 the later model 2s got the "good" sound back, there are full motherboard and half motherboard versions but I can't remember which is which
"hopefully you'll see a megadrive surrounded by a bunch of knobs"
Just stand in a shopping center with it and take a photo :-P
This dude looks like someone who time travel from the 1980's and stay here
Messed up can’t get back
He seems to have a bit of a Cyberpunk vibe which is cool.
The lost Thomson Twin 😁😋
He disassembled his time machine to build the first synth & now the part he needs has not been invented yet!
@@mrburns366 You're killin me!🤣🤣🤣
A Sega Megadrive surrounded by hundreds of knobs just sounds like a gaming convention, idk about you
this is a high-level comment
@Critical Unity ikr
Master System II *
Critical Unity imho gtfo fubar scuba laser!
@Critical Unity is it so hard to let ppl write how tf they want?
Very cool. The SMS has the same sound chip as many other machines: most notably the IBM PC Jr and Tandy series. The SN76489 is supported by lots of DOS games as well. Three voices of squarewave goodness, as well as some noise channel.
The Mega Drive also had this Chip alongside the 2612 for backward compatibilty. Composers used both to fill out the sound.
I prefer the megadrive sounds (genesis here in the states). In fact I bought plogue’s emulation of the soundchip because I didn’t want to mod my genesis (which still gets used)
"Happy, dark, candy rave forest..."
YES
oh shit, I thought it was a rain forest
Like before watching!
This is how it goes
Isn’t that what everyone does anyway?
Totally man
Hainbach....Do you know if Sam's address is correct on the museum of everything else page? I have this really cool shirt I want to send Him...I know He will dig it. Just want to make sure the address is correct.
Hainbach + Look Mum No Computer - Two geniuses who definitely need to collaborate on some sound art.
At first I thought you was John Conners friend from Terminator 2 😂
Pretty rad video man 👍
You’re right! He does look a lot like actor Danny Cooksey
👌
this guy is literally the dude from the betamax tape episode of cowboy bebop
That was awesome! I'd love to be able to download that track you made at the end. I love 8 bit music /chip tunes. Nice one dude 👍
7:27 this better be on the next Hotline Miami OST
It's like Zelda and Mega Man had a beautiful lovechild.
Spot on
You need to team up with some game designers and make a soundtrack for a game... maybe where you search a post apocalyptic world for synthesizers to throw a concert for all the people that survived :D and then at the end the reveal is there is no survivors and its just you throwing a concert for like roombas.
Well, you should DEFINITELY be writing for games. That's probably one of the most original ideas for a game plot, that I've ever heard.
@@UnlimitedRicePudding_ loool true
Retaining the sound recording in time lapse montage was brilliantly exquisite.
I really enjoy when you go through the progression of adding new sounds until it all comes together to sound hella cool.
Some of the sounds were pretty cool - and that old game music was very "authentic" :P
The MS mk2 was my first console ever. Insane that they still work after all these years. I remember playing Alex Kid on a black and white television screen which I bought alongside the console at a flea market.
Give that man everything that carry a chip !
you could have used a sega game gear, it's essentially the same hardware with the benefit of having stereo output
Dude... You are crazy talented! That lil diddie you made on there could have been a classic song in an SMS game for sure!! Too bad they didn't have you making music for them back in the day!
You absolute legend. I had one of these as a kid with Sonic built in and loved it - it's amazing to see it modded like that.
Aphex Twin In A Miracle World!
Definitely man
the nostalgia alone from hearing thise sounds is incredibly inspirational
LOVE the master system sound chip, it's so nostalgic and memorable
If you made this song 30 years ago you would for sure have your music in games. I always loved the sound of the master system.
The FM master system is actually very cool to program... unlike pretty much any other FM machine, it has only 15 fixed build-in instruments (and 1 custom one) over 9 channels, or 6 with the FM drums. It is just the most stereotypical FM sound imaginable, without ever getting bored!
You, Sir, are a Genius. Kudos. These kids nowadays don't understand the effort it takes to set up analog. Liked and subbed.
8:41 Really NICE old school gaming sounds! 👾👈😁🤘
That's brilliant and have big nostalgia for the Sega Master system II which was my first Sega console back in the day.
Sick sounds. My ears are pleased
There just something about these old chippy sounds that makes me happy.
Also, that little demo track you had going there was starting to sound good.
Edit: oh an actual demo track.
I dig it.
I really dig it.
hey man, are you talking about the one that starts at 6:45? if yes, what's the title? spotify is not available over here
I admire your patience and work ethic almost as much as your genius!
8:43, omg i need a full version of this
You need Keygens my friend :p
totally insane right here, you have taken it to the next level, starting with specific details then building then making proper beats with the invention
I loved this system back in the day, and I never even got to try the 3D glasses. It was ahead of it's time. Then again a lot of Sega's hardware was, especially in the arcades.
good to see you here, this channel has got really popular quite recently haha, like over a year after I discovered it through the Furby Organ :-P
LOL that was so dope! Amazing what can be done with these lil sound chips! Would love to see this guy make music for homebrew games! Wish the SMS had a bigger homebrew community!
The original Master System was my first ever console. So clever mate, really enjoyed this video and the nostalgic sounds.
Very Cool! It always puts a smile on my face to see music and video game nostalgia as one. :D
Sounds sweet - like most of the crazy stuff you're building.
...unpredictable reactions when playing the file + the knobs could be a problem in... Well, whatever merges the MIDI messages?
I have my original master system still from when I was a kid. This tickles nostalgia and creativity
Yuzo Koshiro: I used a special kit that interfaced to the Mega Drive to compose Streets of Rage. LMNC: Hold my beer!
And now we have Sega Master Dream Synth!Let Electro flow!
Your creations are mad! Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos, you're living my childhood dream! :) love it!!!
that song was sick af. i thought it was about to get crazy and then it ended :( but beautiful work
I genuinely keep coming back this video just to listen to 7:00 and forwards.
COOL! You've recreated the sounds of earlier Kraftwerk ! AWESOME !
omg i love trhat kind of music !
Deadmau5 needs to check this dude out. They could come up with some cool stuff
i can't wait to see the Mega Drive edition, the MD has some amazing voices and can be manipulated so well thanks to the Yamaha chip :)
I just hope he got his hands on a 1st gen MD as the sound on the later revisions was notably poorer.
yeah Sam if you're reading this, the Mega Drive with the best sound is specifically the variant of the Model 1 that says "HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS • STEREO SOUND" on it :)
And I believe it's the Sony amplifier chip you'd want to get the signal from, to get the properly mixed and filtered YM2612 and SN76489 sound
@@RWL2012 Cross fingers that he actually sees this, very helpful info !
Interesting fact, the sound chip in the Master System is the same one as used in the BBC Micro. Recently bought myself a SN76489 and various components with the idea of making a BBC Micro inspired synth, and I've been thinking of making it into a module so several of them could be chained together a la your Gameboy Mega Machine. Bit of a learning curve for me because I've never made a synth of any kind before.
himselfe yeah sounds cool! Little scale has a project that involves 8 of them! Check it out on his site! Sounds sick, a good start off point for ya
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER: Awesome, thanks for the heads up, I shall have a look!
You must go thru crazy ammounts of pots and knobs..love your work!
Awesome job with your little video game music at the end!
Early Crystal Castles vibes coming of that thing
Nice! It's all about that tactile ability to manipulate the chips that makes magic. Add a sequencer and boom you can create some legit stuff.
lovely! but some of my fave sounds of all time come from the mighty Mega Drive- here's to the future!
I actually thought this sounded really fucking cool! That said, the sounds of the Sega Master System have been in my blood since childhood (to the point where I perhaps made more than one Sounds of the Master System mix tape in the early-mid-90s). Maybe it's just the nostalgia. Very tempted to try this in any case. With an original Master System, but of course not with MY original Master System.
Super dope vid you could make some serious 80s electro funk with that beast
The SN76489 has two equivalents: TMS9919, and SN94624. Its probably the smallest DIP chip on the PCB, I think it’s 20 pins. I really like your tendencies towards breaking out all of the possible control parameters to physical knobs on a panel. A Yamaha FM chip with one knob per function would be a super fun synth to own, but servicing, or your thought to design and build the thing?!!! I guess there’s plenty of opportunities along the way to learn a great deal about electronics, so you certainly have a goal
oriented worker’s ethic!! No doubt you like the challenge of an ambitious endeavor, and that’s something that the good people of the World ought to yearn for! THANK YOU AGAIN, for really doing some good work that’s opened at least one persons eyes up to the potential and promise within you. Very inspiring!
I can't believe the pure genius of your talent with the things you make and do!
You kind of remind me of a hybrid version of Keith Flint with his out there personality and Liam Howlett for your musical engineering skills!
Can't wait for the megadrive version when it's done 👍🏻
Super impressed at the sounds coming out of it!
That te te te thump . . . . te te te thump . . . . Made me think of Zack McKracken! Cool project.
I love that old FM sound, especially as crunchy as this is
By the time you're done, is "mega" really going to be the right word?
Sega Fecking Huge Drive, perhaps.
Sega megaraginghugeb*ner drive

You are incredible man. I love your work!!!!! Keep it hard!!! Greetings from Portugal!!!!!!!
You are literally the coolest guy on earth.
That safety pin in your ear is so 80's :)
He looks like he's from Blade Runner, The Road Warrior. I bet he's in a techno punk metal experimental band and he's the main talent. A mad genius.
Authentic 8 bit vibe as it gets
Love the 1st gen sound! Especially Sega! This is great!
plz do a megadrive one! I love the FM sounds with the Megadrive (think Streets of Rage 3 Soundtrack! BANGING!!!! :)
That's still does dope hard MIDI nice.
It's crazy. Roger Klotz can sequence anything with a current running through itm
sounds awesome
Can’t wait for the FM chip / megadrive upgrade 🤩
Absolutely brilliant mate, well done !
if your going to do a megadrive, you need to make some "New retro wave" type music.
Good memories with Sega Master Sytem 2.
It's always Fun what you Show 🕹🤸♂️🤹♂️.
All the Best for your work(s) and shows Sam 🕺.
Have nice days all ;)
this is definetly the real young einstein... love it man
It sounds so gooood, I WANT IT.
Oh yeaah, it will be awesome to see Mega Drive-based FM synth
So excited for Megadrive.
Man I had one of those, preloaded with Alex Kidd In Miracle World. My dad brought it for me in 1995.
I thought i was the only one to remember alex kid!!! Hahahaha me and my brother played it for hours back in the day!!
@@creeker81 I never clocked it. That really pisses me off, only later finding out it's a Mario Bros knock off also had me pissed off 🤣
One day, PLEASE come to Chicago!!!
8:15 you Sire should make some techno tracks and invite Ansome from Brixton to play with your toys
7:00 - 8:20 so much potential! Please, more master pieces with master system.
This you tube channel reminds me of my life! SURROUNDED BY KNOBS!!!
Crazy bro! Super cool!
This is so brilliant. I love how fast you talk.
Nice, neat composer. Thanks.
Totally awesome. Really looking forward to the Mega Drive version.
Dude, I was watching one of your gameboy videos when the notification popped up. Love your music and good luck in future proyects. Saludos desde Colombia.
Superb work, you're a genius
This is just so freaking cool!! Hope you were able to get an original Model 1 Master System to do this with that has the original chip! And yeah, unfortunately you need a mod to add the FM chip to these systems. Only the Japanese one came with the FM chip built in as it was more of an optional expansion audio type deal. Love the sound of the regular PCM SMS audio tho myself!
Can't wait for the mega drive video! I make do with a Yamaha DX11.
One of the songs had a Zak McKracken vibe to it! Neat!
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER can make a synth out of anything!
Shinobi on Sega Master System was so good
