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.
I wonder how common this was. I kind of assumed they were written just as (more or less) midi
Man Guardian Legend was my jam when I was a kid.
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.
