I don't like being one of those nagging guys that ask for requests, but nonetheless... Any possibility to get the midis and font for Final Fantasy VI? I can attest it's definitely worth it, many tracks are improved from the original, along with the expected occasional duds. I had one of these before, but unfortunately my hard drive crashed on me and was forced to reboot, and the guy that was nice enough to do it had his mediafire link blocked before I could redownload. If it helps, the rip I used required four soundbanks with the midis and separate fonts, and everything was nonlooped and tracks with boss phases were separated. If this would be possible, I'd be grateful. I intend to rename and tag all the stuff myself, my original intent was to upload a complete soundtrack with a download package to Youtube when complete. I only got a few tracks uploaded before the crash. Anyway, done jabbering, thanks in advance for any responses.
Midi loop points by Koto at 1:36 PM EDT on April 14, 2015
Could I add loop points to midis generated by gbamusriper? F-Zero: MV doesn't have anyone, for example.
Which software is the best and most friendly for that purpose?
Add loop points to samples you mean? Or loop actual midi files? If it's the first one then EXC would be perfect for the job, use default settings only...the latter purpose would be better in a DAW.
@dj4uk6cjm: I mean looping midi. If you know a DAW easy to use, please tell me.
@TUK: How can I set the loop point with Anvil Studio? I have downloaded the lastest version, and my previous try to loop a midi was a disaster: The file doesn't play correctly and the loop point wasn't recognized either.
Mixcraft is what I use and knowing gbamusriper it'll have at least one loop of the midi file so you should be able to extend it easily, I can't go into full detail as it may require more of an explanation but if you need help you can message me on the ffshrine forums I would be glad to help. :)
@Koto, for the part where you want the loop start to be, click on (or directly before) the measure (or note) that you want to loop from. Then click "new" next to Cue. Type "loopStart". It's important that it's spelt exactly like that. "loop" is not capitalized, and "Start" is, and there must be no space.
Then, do the same thing, but type "loopEnd". If the loop is a full loop that starts from the beginning, the loopStart is not needed, as it will assume the start, if it's not set. For example, if you want it to loop after about 4 measures, and then loop for 32 measures, click at the beginning of the 5th measure, press "new" and click "loopStart", then go to measure 37 (i.e. 32 measures later), and repeat, but "loopEnd" instead of "loopStart".
And, for those who are British, a "measure", is more commonly called a "bar"... which makes sense.
At first, I didn't really notice it with Emerald, well I did and didn't care much, but now I ripped FR/LG and some instruments just don't match right, I mean, the quality is superior, but at what cost? The snares in "Opening Movie" are replaced with some weird mono beat, along with that groove PokeCenter healing synth being gone in the MIDI.
Would anyone have any sounds similar to those, samples, etc? I'll put up two songs as reference if you want me to.
I just really want it to be as close as it can to the original thing.
Download the MSU plugin for foobar2000 for easy playback.
The Rockface Rumble track sounds particularly good. The restoration in general is a mixture of the original tracks with EQ/DSP/stereo enhancement, plus I think he sequenced some original samples in there as well. Much improved, while staying true to the originals.
