Toshinden by emperor bohe at 11:42 PM EDT on October 14, 2022

Does anyone happen to know what sound sources were used on Battle Arena Toshinden? Is that a Korg M1 piano on Sofia's theme? I've always loved the vibe of this soundtrack haha. Love the synths too.

Lufia SNES Sound Sources Revealed (General, Not Specific) by MeteoXavier at 11:58 PM EST on November 17, 2022

Howdy y'all, long-time lurker and first-time poster with something potentially useful.

So, like a lot of weebs, I'm Facebook friends with loads of Japanese composers and game devs. One of them is Yasunori Shiono, who is famous for his work on the Estpolis/Lufia game series. He goes long periods without getting on Facebook, but he recently started coming back on and I posted on his wall asking what he used as the source instruments for the original SNES Estpolis/Lufia games. With the disclaimer in mind that he wouldn't be able to remember too clearly that far back (which is fair, it was almost 30 years ago), he told me he remembered using a Roland SC8820 for the instruments and Goldwave for extracting them for Estpolis/Lufia II.

The conversation got kinda interesting at that point. I asked him if he meant a Roland SC88 as the SC8820 didn't come out until 1999. He posted back with a laugh conceding he got it wrong and that it was the SC88Pro. The next message in that thread came from Yukio Nakajima who I was also friends with and didn't know also worked on the Lufia II games (the original and the DS remake) and wrote this:

"塩生 康範 There was no SC8820 or GoldWave(Windows) around Estopolis biography 1-2 lol
The sound sources used are as follows.
・AKAI SG01k
・Roland SC-55
Roland CM-64
・Alesis D4"

That was the end of the thread and I didn't inquire further. I always felt like it wasn't obvious which MIDI sound source the Lufia I and II games' instruments came from like so many other games, so this provides some great foundation work for putting those two games on the discovery list and figuring out which song uses what.

This is my big contribution to the thread. Please enjoy!

Hey by spidergeniusq0 at 10:30 AM EST on March 5, 2023

does anyone have any tips on how to rip atlus sega saturn games and theyre midi and sf2 and also just do it without error?

by Weltraum79 at 4:16 AM EDT on August 22, 2023

I'd like to point out a vinyl scratch effect I found from Sonic Adventure 2.

It's FX 29 from East West Dance/Industrial.

Dance/Industrial -> Partition C -> VOLUME 006 -> HITS + EFX 2 -> FX 29 (play it at E2 key)

The song is: Soarin' Over the Space... for Cosmic Wall

Discord Invite Please by ImmortalGangsta2004 at 1:13 AM EDT on April 9, 2024

This is probably my first post on this site, but anyway I heard there is a Discord server dedicated to finding instrument sources from video games, so that could help me find instruments that were used in games like Sega Rally Championship, like the rock organ and distortion guitar for example. However, I also heard that the invites for the server were closed, probably due to raids or something. Could I please have an invite to the server? My username on Discord is ImmortalGangsta2004 btw. If you can't invite me to the server, that's ok, but I'm just asking.
