Ring sound effect is a square wave using the sega master system's sound channels, not an FM synthesis effect using the Yamaha FM chip.

- mikepavone 4y agoThis is incorrect. While some sound effects in the Sonic games on the MD/Genesis do use the PSG, the ring sound is not one of them. I double checked just now using the oscilloscope view in my emulator. Looks like the ring sound effect alternates between channels 3 and 4 depending on which way it's panned (unclear why it's done that way since any FM channel can be panned left or right).
- Dwedit 4y agoCrap, you're right, I was thinking of the Jump sound effect.
- donkdonk 4y agoIt might have something to do with surround? https://rec.games.video.classic.narkive.com/cEZltqT1/sega-genesis-stereo-output-seems-to-have-included-matrixed-surround-sound https://rec.games.video.classic.narkive.com/cEZltqT1/sega-ge...
