EDIT:

Maybe good adlib musician could make it sound the same. Screamtracker3 comes with OPL3 and sample usage, but never got it working/too much interested tongue.

you'll not get it out of LSDJ, so your best bet is a VST plugin.  (im assuming you can load into something these since you mentioned plogue chipsounds)

Anyway, I love the sound of the Megadrive (particularly the music from the first Sonic games), and I want to make something which sounds similar... I want to try to get these sounds from either LSDJ or Plogue Chipsounds, though, rather than using real hardware or some Megadrive-specific software.

Does anybody have any pointers in how I could accomplish this with one or both of those pieces of software? I'm not entirely sure what the Megadrive was capable of hardware-wise (number of channels, synth types, samples, etc), so I am not sure where to start at all. I think I hear triangle waves in a lot of Megadrive tunes, but... ???

Appreciate any help!

This is the kind of thing I'm aiming for...
