I'm just unpacking this now and I owe MechaGodzilla a debt of gratitute I was totally fine with coming up with close-enough patches with other equipment but with some tweaking in my sampler this is a fucking bullseye. Plus, they have other dope games in this link.spacelordmother wrote:Duuuude.MechaGodzilla wrote:The actual Super Metroid soundfont, ripped from the ROM
Reason takes SoundFonts like a champ. I've had to adjust pitch on one or two, but it reads the start/end and loop points perfectly. NN-XT has an amp envelope, filters, and modulation so it's been really easy to make dynamic instruments out of them. I made a little Metroid drum kit in Kong using the percussive sounds.hotknife wrote:I've a few soundfonts saved up in folders somewhere, but never got around to figuring out how to use them. What software are you guys running?

I've been playing around with these a bit this morning and it's awesome! Also a great reminder of it's really the composition that makes these game themes so incredible. Being able to hear the individual sounds within the arrangements is
Excellent.friendship wrote: Reason takes SoundFonts like a champ. I've had to adjust pitch on one or two, but it reads the start/end and loop points perfectly.
