For this next piece, I blame Platinum and the Gold and Silver remake rumors. Yeah I'm back into Pokemon, and while browsing youtube for some of my favorite music from Gold and Silver, I decided to try my hand at recomposing them for the Gameboy Advance. The tinny-saw wave (and rocking) music from FireRed and LeafGreen is what I was going for here. Also below is an edited midi version but it sounds totally different without soundfonts... :\

Haha when I went to download it the captcha image said "GZFC", coincidence?

I like it, it sounds much more GBAish. the addition of drums helps drive it along rather nicely as well :)
The strings are a bit too clean though IMO, I always remembered the string samples from most games were a bit noisier or something.

Thanks for the comments. : )

Yeah, I made the soundfont using samples from other soundfonts and compressing them into a super small font trying to replicate GBA sounds. Obviously, too much time went working on the strings. lol Guess it's time to crank 'em down a notch. Also, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to replicate that awesome snare from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, which has the most satisfying popclang-like sound sound I have ever heard.

Version 2 - Fixed up the samples a bit, changed a couple of notes, better drums. Please listen! I decided to do some more, now that the remakes have been officially confirmed. XD

Oh sweet Jesus... Hard to believe how much influence the drums had on the overall feel of the GBA games... As soon as it started and the new drums kicked in I got shivers!

Do you by chance have a pkmn fr/lg r/s/e soundfont, or were those samples made by hand? I always wanted to take a stab at remixing GSC music to GBA style. Namely newbark :P

Nope, made the font from existing soundfonts, combining sounds, converting the stereo wave into a mono 8-bit wave -- I was trying to make a small soundfont I could use with Game Maker. It turned out to sound like something from the GBA. lol

The snare drum is indeed from Pokemon. I visited one of the Sevii Islands and a drum solo played, and I snagged it. I wasn't planning on it, but I can get together a quick soundfont that can replicate that of the real Pokemon RSEFRLG soundfont... Give me a minute or two and I'll see what I can do. : P

If I had a rom I could try to get the samples from it like I did to minish cap. I'll give it a go.

btw the samples from the sounds are at the start and end of that, it's just got all of the pokemon's cries in between... <3 audacity :D
also, you're right about them being 8 bit, 8 bit signed PCM actually, no endianess, and a smaple rate of 13400.
