So it's not a keyboard. It's a sample library. Meh. Aren't there enough of those already?

Didn’t most SNES games just sample the most popular keyboards at the time? Keyboards like the Korg M1 and the Roland D50. Donkey Kong Country for example used the Korg Wavestation for Aquatic Ambience.

At 0:27 I've been looking for those particular sounds. The wah sound, the echoing pluck, it's sampled from a casio keyboard yeah?RedSoxRon wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScZbKzgMAQA

Probably. The SNES audio chip basically was a dedicated 8-channel soundtracker module player with some basic FX. Most of the soundtracker world used samples from contemporary synths, so why would SNES-dedicated soundtracker music be any different?v1o wrote:Didn’t most SNES games just sample the most popular keyboards at the time?

Every game ROM supplied a sound set (usually fitting into whatever was left of the chip's shared 64KB RAM, unless streamed from ROM), so it's not like there's anything all that unique about the SNES sound system that gives it any kind of special sought-after character.
This is akin to making a sound library to emulate soundtrackers. It's just classic 80s synths, sampled badly, bit-reduced, frequency-cut... And there probably aren't many "classics" to be had here (especially any that weren't far better known on the Amiga).
The more interesting project, IMO, was the attempt to recreate the original The Ultimate Soundtracker ST-0x sample set from the same source synths that Dan from Hideaway Studio tried some years back (I added a few samples to it myself, but it's really a very difficult project with very questionable value beyond "oh neat" nostalgia).

I suppose selling sample libraries is easier than selling self-made music... Isn't that where all the money is these days? Software and content for musicians to buy, not in selling actual music, which almost no one seems to want to buy anymore.RedSoxRon wrote:You got me there bud. Why even make music haha
Still, this set you're promoting probably doesn't have a wide market.

No guy have ever made a decent OPL3 instruments SF2 rip off yet, instead there is JuiceOPL vsti which is still not there. 25 euro is a much for you? I could totally understand that if you would make a living somewhere in east europe, asia or africa even so some companys charge even more money for their stuff and making a holy grail out of it which it's definitely not (by far )

Well.. I prefer the C700 VST which can import any compatible .spc files and cost nothing. I think it's many times greater then your release.PVDHP wrote:No guy have ever made a decent OPL3 instruments SF2 rip off yet, instead there is JuiceOPL vsti which is still not there. 25 euro is a much for you?

Here is an interesting thread about the subject: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=315459
Also stating that JuiceOPL vsti "is still not there" while your little samplelib is miles behind is inappropriate to say it friendly.

Yeah, think the SA range. Here's the infamous built in demo of the SA-1 working through some of the presets (the 'wah' sound is at 0:41 here)pilotredsun wrote:At 0:27 I've been looking for those particular sounds. The wah sound, the echoing pluck, it's sampled from a casio keyboard yeah?
