Some of the other samples feel familiar, for example I think I might've heard a sound from Macho Grubba's theme, but in reality all of it is pretty standard analog stuff, so I can imagine a lot would slip by.
But thanks to hcs for graciously stickying this thread, it will not die. Unless the forums go down. So don't kill the forums before backing up this thread, pls
Flying Waltz from Roland JV-2080 -> Nobody Catch Me (Michelle's Theme)
-Sycamore accordion is Best Service ETHNO WORLD. Dallape accordion under key instruments.
-Trick room organ is probably EWQL Goliath.
Looking for the organ from the May encounter, it's done by Hideaki Kuroda and he has a list of his plugins here so if you find anything please update! The organ definitely sounds familiar.
http://www.hideakikuroda.net/#/content2
He also has some hardware synths, including an SC88Pro.
Game: Kirby's Epic Yarn
Track: Tube Town (which uses Anticipation also from Omnisphere, and 72 Liquid Frame Combo from Stylus RMX)
Preset: Chinese Resologue Lead 1
Timestamp: ~1:40-~2:04

Speaking of Kirby, I somewhat recently listened to a demo of Zero-G: Chemical Synths. I could be wrong but I may have heard the lead synth used in Grand Doomer's battle theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land in there.
On an unrelated note, Super Mario 64 uses "BANJO D3" from AKAI Sound Library Vol.2 in "Slider". Also, the organ sounds like it's sourced from the Korg M1, but without the "wobbliness" from the original patch.
Keyboard: Yamaha DGX-650 (not XGlite)
Game: Star Fox 64 3D
I'm not exactly sure this is the exact sample that was used, but I recognized it yesterday when I played this game (I own the keyboard this sample came from), so I added it to this thread.

What keyboard is the one you own with that sample?
Also, I went to Guitar Center and heard Mario 3D samples on a Roland Juno DS88 (Dig-n-Duke, Detuned Square) and it probably has Fantom hardware inside.
I wonder where the synth sounds in Super Bomberman 2-5 are from? I hear some analog sounds.
Edit: Super Bomberman probably used something like an Emu Proteus or Sound Canvas.
edited 7:28 AM EDT August 1, 2016
Yamaha DGX-650, it's just an ordinary digital piano from 2008.
I knew it was a main voice because I also have a Yamaha keyboard with the same sound, but it is a PSR-e443, but it could be another Yamaha keyboard with the same sound.
Edit
What synth was used in Mt Chimney in ORAS for the "bowww bow bow bow bowww" sound in the intro?
What synth was used for the organ sound in Team Magma/Aqua base, as well as the Slap Bass, synth lead, and other sounds?
What is the synth used in Route 111 for the "techno bagpipes" sound?

Yes, Yoko Shimomura has been using East West Symphonic Orchestra stuff in her work for a while now, like the strings (I also think one of its oboes is used in a couple songs in Dream Team), and that library is used a ton in the recent Pokemon games (especially 4 trumpet sustained and 18 violins sustained vibrato), at least one preset was bound to be used in both. I don't want to say every string sample originates from there (like the ones in the boss battle theme, which I'm not sure of) but a good portion of them are.
As for route 111 PokeMusic, those drums sound like the Kontakt Factory Library Pop Kit, and I wanna say the synths are from HALion since that track was arranged by Minako Adachi and she uses HALion sounds a lot, but there actually aren't that many presets from HALion introduced in OR/AS. Then again, I don't have the full thing so I can't definitively verify.
For everything else, well, your guess is as good as mine.
edited 4:05 PM EDT August 2, 2016
She also uses Omnisphere a lot because the lead from Route 113 was figured to be in Omnisphere and it is also by Minako Adachi.
And what do you know.
The route 111 lead instrument is indeed Omnisphere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R5Nkb7WZIM
It's labelled "Stanky Lead" under Synth Mono (if I recall correctly).

- Roland stuff (a bit SC-88, supposedly the Korg Triton)
- HALion stuff (the synth bass and accordion, both from its GM library)
- EWQL stuff (such as the "Pink Strat" guitar from Goliath)
- Spectrasonics stuff (a bunch of loops from Stylus RMX Xpanded were sampled, which IIRC is illegal by their standards lol, and some basses from Trilian)
Addictive Drums' startup kit was also sampled for Virbank Gym, and BW also used higher quality (and longer) samples of instruments from previous games, mainly HGSS (this includes VSL and Kontakt). I can't recall any specific Omnisphere presets being used in BW/2, but then again there are a lot of sounds in those games we don't know the original source of.
I'd love to know which locations use those sounds in RSE and FRLG and DPPt. I know the trumpet is used a lot in Ruby and Sapphire.
Many questions of mine have been avoided by reading stuff that has already been answered.
@Master_E I totally forgot that function got added to this forum. My bad! Next time~
I didn't even know that existed! This forum is so minimalist... (not in a bad way)
OK. I think Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire also use the pulse wave from the GBA, same with FireRed and Leaf Green, but I don't remember which tracks other than Mt. Pyre Exterior in Ruby and Sapphire.
Well, that's a non sequitur. Besides, it's far from the applications we're talking about.
All the samples used in Star Fox 64 are identical to the samples used in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. If you search "Ocarina of Time" in this thread, I'm sure you'll find every sample used in Star Fox 64.
Sample: Bird Tweet
Keyboard: Casio CTK-573 (probably on other keyboards as well)

It could been a Sound Convas midi Preset which is very common on some 90 soundtracks.
I got it wrong again! It's not from the Casio, it's from the XGLite sample library.

While using the samples, i was enable to remastered and remade one of the goldeneye tracks.
https://soundcloud.com/gamerprime-music-channel/goldeneye-mission-selectmenu-theme-remastered
The main problem with the Collection mainly some of the presets are different i only got it for the metal vapor sound and infinite one sound as well.
The pitch is also a issue and it don't sound that close of the original.

Also is that the same instrument used in the beginning of this song in Kirby's Return to Dream Land?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7v-fNrzhms
It sounds like it might be the marcato samples from the Prosonus String Library, but they feel more characterful than the realistic samples you find.
Are you sure? I think it sounds like a whistle sound, not an instrument.

Korg M1 was used

This preset was all over the place. it is called busy talk.
Also, I hear XGLite in other stuff too, maybe a lot of games use Yamaha PSR/DGX/Tyros keyboards.

Also, I heard the synth bass 1 preset on sound canvas in a lot of Nintendo DS/GBA titles.
edited 1:46 PM EDT August 14, 2016
You're right! The Synth Bass 1 sample was used for a GBA game soundtrack: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. It's especially noticable in the Minish Village theme. This was the result when I played that song with the General MIDI soundfont:

Good find, I don't think it's hard to tell. It sounds almost exactly like the strings in A Link to the Past, IMO! But it's very compressed, and the reverb is different.
@G-Boy, there's been a lot of postings on here that aren't on the spreadsheet sadly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJznmG5D-7I uses Tron from E-MU Proteus VX.

There really should be a more updated list in the first post so people don't spend decades trying to find stuff people have already found.
I really agree with you on that, there should been a updated list.
It probably wasn't my best idea to refer to it as an "Ooh" sound, I meant the sustained sound at 0:00-0:05 and 0:10-0:15.
edited 7:54 PM EDT August 22, 2016
Though I can't confirm it, I'd take a stab and say that's a Logic instrument, or at least a synthesiser sound, as opposed to a sample.
Speaking of which, is it confirmed that Logic's previous factory libraries contained patches/presets that are no longer present in X?

Does anyone know what sample CDs Koji Kondo used in Super Mario 64 other than the Akai samples. Also, I think the KK songs from Animal Crossing use a similar Casio to the Rapman but the model is probably one with 100 sounds. Also, I checked a video of a Korg PA-600 and 2 VCO Planet Lead is used in Pom Pom's battle theme as the synth lead. It is probably from a Korg Triton LE someone said. I also recognized some brass presets from Super Mario 3D Land on the Roland Sound Canvas.

Anybody know where the instruments of Earthbound come from?
I'm particularly interested in the source of that Overdriven Guitar that we all know from a couple final boss tracks, the saxophone from the beginning of What a Great Picture! and in most of the Runaway Five's songs, the Jingle Bells from Snowman, and the Rock Organ found in the beginning of Otherworldly Foe and in Runaway Five's Final Performance.
I did a search before I posted this and somebody said that the Korg M1 had a trumpet that sounded similar to Earthbound's one, so perhaps one should look around there?
Of course, if they haven't been bugged about this game enough already, we could always ask Hirokazu or Keiichi where they got their instruments.
I think I've heard the saxophone sample before... maybe it's from the Roland Sound Canvas or something like that.
BTW, do you mean starmen.net?
I've tried unpacking the ZIP file, and the only files I could find in the folder were r00 files, more ZIP files, and a NFO file that I couldn't open. Do you have to burn the files to a CD, insert the CD into your computer, and load it with a sampler (or something)?
Use 7zip or WinRAR to unpack it.
