I put together a cover (and FM arrange) of endless possibility from Sonic Unleashed.
I programmed all the backing instrumentation from scratch using the kodamo essencefm mkii. Forcing pure hardware FM synthesis to sound like a 2000s punk rock track was definitely a choice, but dialling in those crunchy guitar patches was actually pretty fun. (not me realizing sonic unleashed is from 2008, wow.)
This serves as the official debut for the Lem V4Bi voicebanks. I ended up using all three libraries (civet, quoll, and phascogale) and just bouncing between them to cover the dynamic shifts. Turns out having that many pitches of arpasing and a ridiculous amount of ALT aliases actually comes in handy when you want to avoid that robotic machine-gun effect on repeated phrases. I also heavily abused the cross-lingual routing to swap out muddy english vowels for pure japanese ones whenever I needed a sharper attack to punch through the mix.
I also drew a visualizer for it. Canonically, lem's shapeshifting is a really slow, gradual process, but the bridge of this song just went too hard, so i broke my own lore and gave him an instant werehog-style transformation into a massive feral were-civet. His stretchy sensory-friendly clothes are doing a lot of heavy lifting to stay in one piece.
Anyway, hope you guys like it.
