A Little Friendship / Ivan's Theme (Restored - Roland SC-88) - Golden Sun

~~ Details about the restoration process ~~
Tools used: GBA Mus Riper (midi and samples extraction), agbplay (synth restoration), Reaper. And also my own VST plugin (github.com/jus....
Hardware: Roland SC-88 Pro, Roland JV-1080, expansion card SR-JV80-05 World, and Alesis DM5.
Midi files: the sequences are extracted directly from the game but need to be heavily modified in order to play them on the physical modules.
Sounds: most samples have been identified over the years, but some sounds come from my own research.
Synths: in Golden Sun, synths are specific to the internal audio engine, they are completely separate from the other instruments. ipatix managed to reverse-engineer those synths and made the code available on github. I'm using his tool, agbplay, to export them from the game in high quality (at a higher sample rate than what the GBA is capable of)
Drums: Golden Sun 1 uses samples from the SC-88 but on Golden Sun 2, Motoi Sakuraba changed all the samples. While some of them have been identified and come from the Alesis DM5, most samples still haven't been found to this day. I've extracted the samples from the game, denoised, re-panned and cleaned them.
~~ Thanks ~~
Mega thanks to Bregalad (GBA Mus Ripper) and ipatix (agbplay). I would never have been able to do those versions without their incredible work.
Massive thanks to the VGM Instrument Sources community, and especially FreeJusticeHere for his invaluable advice and help!
Special thanks to Coaltergeist and Cyanne for inspiring me!
Original song composed by Motoi Sakuraba. #GoldenSun #RestoredOST

Stop reading my mind, Ivan!

What an innocent theme, it calls for amazement for the simplest things, just like Ivan

[@Nuiiiiiiiiii]

Is warm and sweet.

The moment I got the most spammed psynergy in the game.
Until Reveal.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

You mean you stopped mind reading after Reveal??

[@TvM.TheTechnomage]

@@BlaxeFrost-X of course not! I just used Reveal more.

I thought there were more NPCs than Reveal Spots@@TvM.TheTechnomage
