As we have been seeing, the KautenjaDSP brand of modules for VCV Rack is full of vintage video game sound emulators. In this episode, we look at the Mini Boss, which is an emulator of the Yamaha YM2612 chipset used in the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Genesis systems. It's a powerful module that can be used to perform FM synthesis and even with frequency modulation, it can produce some pretty cool sounds. It has a built-in envelope generator that is capable of looping and it has a built in LFO that can be used for vibrato and tremolo. Using its feedback knob, one can generate a wide variety of tones as well as distortion and noise. Since VCV Rack is a free virtual Eurorack modeling system and KautenjaDSP is a set of free modules, one can easily start creating some vintage Sega sounds.
