Masanori Miyamoto, who used to compose music for many Compile games (Guardic, Aleste, Zanac, etc.), has uploaded something very interesting to YouTube – the original source sketches he composed on a synthesizer, before they were converted to chiptunes!
Hearing the Guardian Legend music in midi is freaking amazing.
The guardian legend is my favorite game of all time and it’s so cool to see it here!!!
Same, I sunk so much time in that game and the music was a huge part of it. It’s great to hear the original synth tracks.
Nice! I hear some familiar soundfonts in there, I wonder if Japanese composers back then had a lot of the same ones.
Back then most of the synths came from Japan, if not whole product than the chips and other internals.
I wonder how common this was. I kind of assumed they were written just as (more or less) midi
