I have a JV-1080, so I compared the raw sample from the game to 64voicePiano.

I have always wondered what instruments were used in the MMSF series. Were they sampled from a commercial synth or were they completely custom made. BTW if it helps, these games where for the DS and most of the music was composed by Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki along with others.

There are some noticeable general samples such as Orchestral Hits and a very distinguishable Sync Lead, but the difficult ones seem to be pads and synths.

For example:
Wave Battle! Ride On!!: MegaMan Star Force 3

Staff Roll: MegaMan Star Force 3

Pads and Synths:
Black Hole Server: MegaMan Star Force 3

Dread Joker Stage: MegaMan Star Force 3 This one has a unique Sync Lead.

The Radio World: MegaMan Star Force 3

Ah ok, I thought you meant that Hirokazu Ando was for certain using a 1080. The '64 Voice Piano' patch is also in the JV-2080.

If it helps, the 2nd composer you mentioned started on a synth in 1984, so it could be a Jupiter 8/6 for the sync leads. Though they could be from a workstation, one of there studios has a Korg X50, so that could be it, or Yamaha Motif, which I saw in another studio. Also, some of the pads sound like Wavestation programming.

Thanks for the insight!

I might look into it.

Okay; so I've done some of my own investigating, and for now I've come to the conclusion that the KORG Trinity might not have what I'm looking for after all. That being said, if anyone here who has an SD-90/SC-8850 is willing to make audio demos for all 30 of the drum sets said to be included in that sound library, that would be awesome.

Does anybody know the origin of the harp samples heard in Mario Paint when you click the star on the title screen? Example here.

The first arpeggio sounds like it could be an edited version of the Fairlight CMI sample 'harpdngd', although it's unlikely Hip Tanaka et al. had access to such equipment in 1992. Possibly from an Akai or Roland sample cd?

felineki said that they're from the Akai S612 library "SL203 Chorus & Ensemble".

@G-Boy
Thanks again. I just searched and felineki give the disclaimer 'partially speculative', so possibly not for certain. Those old Akai libraries are very hard to find; I wonder if the same sample turned up anywhere else.

By the way, while we're on the subject of sample libraries, two days ago I discovered that Audacity can open .bin files and render them as audio. This is a useful way to check the contents of sample library cds downloaded from the web without the need to extract and mount an iso file. The only drawback to this method is that there is no way of obtaining the correct sample mapping etc should you want to use them in a software sampler.
