SPC/Sample Bank showoff thread 2.0 [Read first post]

Since we have a new music forum, I feel it's necessary to start off fresh. Here you can show off your music ports/compositions and/or sample banks.

I have one very important sample bank for people who use Addmusic 4.05.

opt.bnk

For those who don't have it or know what it is. It allows bigger samples than what SMW originally allowed, Use that instead.

I want to take this time to tell everyone that we look forward to hearing your ports/compositions. A little reminder to everyone, read the music porting forum rules before proceeding.

Thank you and happy porting! =P

I think a post layout goes here somewhere...

Alright, let's get the show on the road!

Final Fantasy 6 - Shadow

This is a fullsampled port of FF6 - Shadow. I ported this for my friend. Unfortunately, I won't be submitting this to the music section yet. I have a few things to fix, so. Hope you enjoy listening to it!

Wow! Amazing! I like this port. This one sounds really like FF6. The samples from it sounds like from real world.

Alright, let's get it started again.

Star Fox - Fortuna

Thunder Spirits - Back To The Fire

AddmusicM only.

I love this new forum!

Mario Golf TT - Blooper Bay
This one I felt good about.
Super Mario Sunchine - FLUDD Instructions
Ah. A happy song from when I was just getting into video games.

The piano part is alright, the loop point is a bit awkward, and the @8 just doesn't work. I remembered porting this once and I wasn't too happy, but ah well. I'd work on making it start and end seamlessly.

Great job, and a great way to start off this thread! It sounds very close if not nearly identical to the original. I can't wait until you finish the rest of the port! (You might want to check the articulation on the melody. It's nothing major, though.)


Fortuna - Sounds really nice, but that bassline seems a little detuned from the original.

Back to the Future - I feel that the accompaniment is louder than the actual melody. Part of the reason might not only be the melody, but its echo as well. Everything else is solid, though.


Blooper Bay - I like it. It's one of the few ports that @7 actually works with. The percussion felt like it was a bit on the weak side, though. Try changing that slap drum on #5 to @29, every other note that isn't @21. Also consider adding a new channel consisting of @22/@23 the first half of the song, and an @12 the second half.

FLUDD - Like RTL said, the loop suddenly went missing. The first bass-line note in the @8 went missing somehow. Everything else is fine!


Not bad, and it's the best attempt I've seen of that song to date! ... but 3500+ bytes? Wow, that's a really huge insert size! (But apparently moderation doesn't care about insert size anymore, so I guess it doesn't really matter.)


Ha, I really can't imagine hearing this in-game. One of your better ports. The melody and accompaniment all seem to be there, so that's good. I like it, but I also feel like the percussion is rather lacking.

I can't stop listening and singing!!!!

First attempt at porting

CrispyYoshi, it's the same in Thunder Spirits from what I was able to hear. =x

Anyway, a new port, not pretty accurate because of the portamento values used in the original. I had to find some replacement for that. >_<

Sim Earth - Ice Planet

I'm still proud of this song. It's really calm and relaxing. ;)

It might also be the ADSR. Your ADSR is $ED $7F $F0 and the original is $ED $7F $E0. The echo uses that same ADSR too.

The Ice Planet port is tuned nicely (transposed up one semitone from the original, but they're all on the same key). but the choir is really lacking.. can't you find a way around those portamento values? The song is also a tad faster than the original..

Sampled time!
Here are my sampled songs:
Megaman 7 - Intro Level
This one turned out pretty well I thought.
Megaman 4 - Final Boss
That's right, again. I've tried. I might submit this.

Huh, none of my ADSR values are $ed $7f $f0 in that port. o_O They're either $ed $7f $ed, or $ed $7f $fx where x is higher than 0.

As of for the portamento, I was thinking to use $EE command to fine tune it, but otherwise I'm using $F4 $02 (portamento for all channels).

What's wrong with the choir though?

Noted and chords are correct, that instrument choice is just...not good, it lacks a lot in certain areas. The percussion in the MM7 intro level is supposed to stand out a lot more for example.

I think a post layout goes here somewhere...

I was talking about the ADSR in your Thunder Spirits port's melody+echo channels...

Your choir in the Ice Planet port is actually an octave lower than the original.

Oh, yeah, I noticed that about my Thunder Spirits port, but didn't fix that yet. The reason I had to lower the octave by one was the portamento. I may redo that song.. Thanks for the corrections though.

I finished this last night. It's a remix of a familiar tune. I probably won't submit it to the music section for quite a while, though.

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.
