  Echo is a new sound engine for the SEGA Mega
  Drive / Genesis game system, developed by Sik.
  Its aim is to be a freely available homebrew
  sound / music engine that runs entirely on
  the z80 and allows complete control over the
  YM2612 and PSG sound chips.
    
  * Supports all FM & PSG channels.
  * Supports PCM at 11KHz despite only using the Z80
  * PSG Volume control using Envelopes
  * SFX can play while BGM gets played, interesting
    for games, and once SFX is done, the BGM can use
	the channels again (Intellignent SFX control)
  * and a lot more I am too lazy to put in this NFO...
  
  
  This tune is the very first publically shown
  tune that fully utilizes this engine and:
  
  It is also the very first publically shown tune
  that uses ALL of the ten sound channels available
  on the Mega Drive / Genesis system!
  
* Sound produced using:  EchoTool v0.5a by Oerg866

* Run the binary in an emulator or on real hardware :)
  Because it has some graphical VU meters to spice things
  up :D (Too bad they aint gonna show it on the big screen..)
  
  PLEASE NOTE: The tune will sound out of tune (haha pun)
  on Kega Fusion, so please use Regen or real HW :P ...
  
* Please DO note that neither Echo nor EchoTool are
  released as of Revision 2011.
  
  I do not know when he will release the stuff tho...
  And as long as Echo isnt released, there is no
  reason to release the tool to make music with it
  either :D
  
  But:
  Please, to respect his work, do not rip the z80
  engine nor disassemble it.
  
That's it so far !

Cheers to all Revisionists,
