### Kevvviiinnn Stage Select 5 (Mega Man Original) [2A03]

I was listening to Kevvviiinnn's playlist of Mega Man Originals and thought I should try to cover this. I think it came out pretty close. I know he was using a 2A03 VST at the time so I'm not sure his instruments are entirely as accurate as FT. But as for mine, I just have a few questions:
1. Does the lead instrument sound right? That kind of would affect the whole thing. I just went with a simple lead of {15,12}. Couldn't feel it out with any other volumes.
2. Does the main riff sound right? There is a stutter stop that I tried to replicate using the G02 command on the frame before the next note. I've seen this done a lot on anything that has an off beat.
3. How do I get the same echo effect that he gets in the B part? I can't seem to match it with the detuning Pxx commands and I don't think he's using single/dual channel echo.
I need some feedback or someone to help fix it because I don't think it's quite as good/close as it could be.

Thanks all,

You got pretty close. I've just amended the FTM to fix some of the bad notes in the melody in frame 01, and fixed up the harmonies.
Your instrumentation sounds fine! Don't worry about the echo; I think it's either a feature of the VST he used or he used 3 pulse waves for that section.

Hey thanks! But did you make it in a different version? I'm not able to open it with v0.4.6.

No prob. I was able to download it and compare the differences. Thanks so much for your help.
I'm not sure that Kev (at least in the early days) always followed the rules for the 2A03. I think later he did but this is one of his earlier compositions. I know it was before he started using "Chipsounds" as his VST.
Here's the final product (with a few slight tweaks):
It's in v0.4.6 FYI
