Unfortunately, the run ends here before the final boss battle as the emulator will crash in the boss battle area as it requires many objects at once. Also, the background is flashing red in the final boss battle which can be difficult in the emulation but this emulator is not bad. Who knows if this game is fully playable in other Dreamcast and NAOMI emulators?

Painting Portraits [Original Song, Vocaloid, Lucas & Jessica]

The song built whilst doodling with sounds from the Full Bucket emulators -- e.g. https://www.fullbucket.de/music/paralogy.html -- lots of retro subtractive synthesis goodness. These framed the [spoiler alert] alarm sounds through the intro and the track spluttered into life (hopefully) from there. It paints a brief picture (ha, ha) of an artist trying to put their model at ease. There were more verses fluffing out the story but, thankfully, I didn't think the song needed them.

Tech Notes
Drums are from Reason Kong through assorted Reason hosted effects. Although the Reason instruments are all individually routable to Cubase -- as are the effects via VST -- sometimes it's just easier to stitch together at source. It is a fully fledged DAW in its own right. Guitary jangles are also from there using the Mimic sampler. There's a smorgasbord of synths from (deep breath) Full Bucket's emulators Bucket ONE (Bit 01) and Paralogy (Trilogy and Stratus), Reason Subtractor and Malstrom (piped through some Matrix Pattern shizzle), Halion Voltage, Arturia CS-80 , UAD PolyMAX, Retrologue, Olympus Choir. Vocal synths are courtesy of Vocaloid 6's Lucas & Jessica.

I Thought I Could [original song, Vocaloid6, Taku & Jessica]

The song started life as sonic doodles using the Numanesque 1979 synth emulators -- so if you think it's 80s, you're a year out! Vocals from Vocaloid's Taku and Jessica ... with a smidgen of step-filter.

Tech Notes
⚠ Warning: do not operate heavy machinery whilst reading

The retro simulator VSTs are from fullbucket.de -- they've been nicely stable within Cubase (I'm a bit precious about polluting the DAW with rogue plug-ins).
A Paralogy emulator mimics a Crumar Trilogy in the intro; the sweep sound is the Ny simulator (Korg Lambda); A Korg DW-8000 emulator (FB-7999) fills in the chorus bass line. There's a Reason synth bass (Europa), and UAD bass (PolyMax) in there too. The bass components are largely side-chained from the drums to keep them under some semblance of control.
The resonant sweep melody is from Reason's Thor; pads from PolyMax and Cubase's Padshop. And Retrologue.

I had hoped to use the Drumtraqs emulator (also fullbucket.de) ... but they didn't settle 🤷‍♂️ ... so swapped for Backbone soundset (and "impact" noises from there too).
