      Considering he used to work on 8-bit chips, it both doesn't surprise me and amazes me at the same time. Looking at it from a technical perspective, the way of doing this also allows not only room for free-priority sound effects, but also the ability to allocate more processing power to the chip to use higher quality samples, since only 5 are being used instead of the usual 8. Doing so lets the samples the ability to almost emulate multiple pitches at once (shown by channel 5) and reduce the need for layering. He truly is a genius.

      @crimson-foxtwitch2581 7 месяцев назад +4

      5 channels was around what a lot of European composers were used to working with, the Amiga had only four. The SNES’s biggest limitation was sample memory: Follin relied quite heavily on short, looping samples. Psudeo-wavetables, as I’d call them. (e.g. the guitar & low bass. the sine lead is a literal wavetable)

  • @ChrisRichmond
    @ChrisRichmond 4 года назад +97

    That guitar solo!
    The attention to detail is amazing for its time- you can hear the sound of the "strum" at the start of every note and the pitch bends as though it's on a real fretboard!

    One thing I always notice with this track is how misleading it is once you look into it.
    It is faster at the start, but has a steady tempo through the whole thing once it loops.
    Mixing time signatures. Sounds that you don't even notice the presence unless you isolate them.
    The first signature change takes too many listens for you to get comfortable with. It took me about 5 hours worth of listening to the tune and to this deconstruction in order to know what was actually happening. The channel managing as well, the channels don't stick to a sound, but you never feel like they interupt each other either.
    Overall, this track shows how thought out the whole soundtrack actually is.
    10/10, best track in the whole game and tieing with Akrilyc.

    this is fascinating to hear what each channel is doing. I love how he's able to have multiple sounds at the same time on a single channel. This is especially evident in some of his 3-channel pieces (i.e. "LED Storm (ZXS 128k) - Title Theme" and "Gauntlet III - Title Theme") where he has the drumming in between the waves of the bassline on a single channel. It's extremely impressive, especially because he did this all through the code without any previous physical drafting. He's a true genius, along with his brothers.

  • @Asterra2
    @Asterra2 3 месяца назад +5

    Some of that percussion is stuff I used in my own MODs back in the day. During the golden years of the Amiga's existence, most people didn't have samplers and/or the correct equipment to make good use of them, myself included, so what happened was that the same handful of really well-done sample collections, as scavenged from landmark mods like Space Debris or soundtracks like Psygnosis' _Awesome,_ got shared among all would-be composers who really only possessed ProTracker and whatever they borrowed from preexisting work.

    “How am I hearing 4 notes from 2 channels?” you ask. Neat little hack, actually. Instead of having the sample be a single note, he put in samples that were full chords, so when you program one note in the sequence, the sound consists of 3 pitches. This way, you could get as many voices of harmony as you want AND drums with only 5 channels of sound. Nobuo Uematsu also did this with a choir sound singing a major 7th chord Final Fantasy V. The only limit to this is that the chords have to move in parallel motion, so you can’t have 8 independent melodies AND a drum track, but I and most people think parallel motion sounds cool, so this gets a pass.
