does anyone know what sample or VST was used for the organ in the Devil May Cry PS2 games soundtrack for the organ?
That one used in the track "Mundus' Cathedral" to be precise.
It sounds so strong, but ripping the samples from the game makes them sound so low quality.
If someone knows something about that instruments source, it would be highly appreciated.
I already looked in those Instrument Source lists, but the organ sample I'm looking for is not described yet.
Again, thank you for your help!

I'm currently in the process of ripping the music from Farland Story: Yottsu no Fuuin, the PS1 version. I know there's the PC-FX one, but that's harder to extract (there's no PC-FX filesystem viewer or something), so I chose the PS1 version.
This one, in addition to the 3 CDDA tracks it includes some music in CD-XA format. All is fine here, the XA and cutscenes were ripped (they countain background music too), however, here comes the problem:
There are additional music in .EVE archives, which I couldn't extract using VGMToolbox's CD-XA Extractor or the Sony ADPCM Extractor (I don't know if they even countain those ADPCM types). They not only include music, they include voices as well.
Here's one EVE archive, if anyone can examine it.
Thanks!

And the instrument files from here:
https://glitchkill.proboards.com/thread/6130/popular-video-game-soundfonts?page=8
But how do I actually put these to use? Does anyone have any guides on how to actually run the .wav instruments through a sampler correctly? I'm just trying to dissect the songs to learn how to make electronic music better.
Every guide I come across just teaches you how to make your own drum kit to make MIDI tracks yourself, not how to arrange premade .mid files with already extracted sampler instrument soundfiles.
I used Reaper 6 and Kontakt 5. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Edit: Alternatively, is there any possible way to open .sshd files and .sssq files in Reaper? Or is it best that they're converted into .mid and .wav?

VGMTrans outright refuses to add the files I'm opening in VGMTrans to the collection pane so I can convert them to .mid, or even manually create a collection.
Every time I try to create collection it says "a music sequence must be selected" but importing the .psf file doesn't bring up a music sequence of any kind in the software.
I found kingshriek's script (dsf make) to extract the dsf. As a result it gives me a .dsflib and the rest are .minidsf
Now the problem I have is that in one .minidsf it sounds like it should, but the rest sound...how to say...broken. They sound buggy. Here I attach the converted sounds to which I refer:
.mlt file:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DEpRBMpv3QmvLy8Ng-tzQVLmkf00wUoG/view?usp=share_link
.dsflib file:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-xEhAbEClIzCJ95NwAi6JBvjf8Y6hN1U/view?usp=share_link
.minidsf file (the one that sounds good) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VSBxv6CgvyqFtiGSbUTHhe9TewcuNU3w/view?usp=share_link
-minidsf file (the one that sounds good in format .wav): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Iph-fS7CTCYuF7ooiM8g0f2Emfho5Tyb/view?usp=share_link
.minidsf file (the one that sounds bad):https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hch-_s3SwG6NSfmXTF3G9NiAK6_V4grC/view?usp=share_link
.minidsf file (the one that sounds bad in format .wav) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vnSdaMN_xCQ5V1A0WPSmVZ7KQUfnqmun/view?usp=share_link
MANATEE.DRV : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vqK1fR0Hj23H8VCuz4vqUIPvseE39W6q/view?usp=share_link
All the .py script that i used(i only used dsfmake, dsftime has a error that i don't know how fix it)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HgcaywuHmXHqhDAEcjMb8BdPbZTN7Sb6?usp=share_link
I used foobar2000 with this extra components:
DSD Processor
DSF Encoder -Audio Overload SDK1.4.8u3
Highly Theoretical
Super Audio CD Decoder
vgmstream plugin
If anyone knows how to fix the .minidsf that sounds wrong, please reply to me.
1. I've managed to extract the game's resources enough to track down these SND files, which are supposed to be some sort of archives with lots of smaller SND's inside.
2. Every method that worked for FEAR 2 (including SND extractor and BMS script + VGMStream with custom TXTH) didn't worked for Condemned 2.
3. This is Xbox 360 version, i'll test PS3 version soon, but i doubt it'll make any difference.
SND Files
I would really appreciate any help from the experts. Also, i'd like to add that i've managed to extract FEAR 2 snd's with this, so i imagine there should be some similar solution for Condemned 2.
UPD: Yes, no solution has worked with PS3 files either.

I would like to get the .midi of the ost of Sword of Mana from the Gameboy Advance. I think that this game use a "non-sappy" version of the sound driver, is there any software that let you get the midi from minigsf?
I've tried using the latest build of vgmtrans (1.1) with the .minigsf and the rom itself but I can only get a bunch of VGMSampColl.
I don't care about the soundfont, I only want the sequences (midi).
Thank you
