Yoshi's Story - Games of Happiness (MIDI)

aka Pelicin Yoshi Athletic or "Shy Guy Limbo". This was already on my channel (logic capture w/ hypercam.) I fixed a bunch of stuff today and made a MAMplayer vid instead, as this sequence in particular really benefits from the improved visuals and stereo sound (plus it's one of my best.) Still isn't perfect though, I'm too used to how the sequence sounds to spot further inaccuracies.

I had to make this a Yamaha XG-exclusive sequence, as there was no chance of doing it even half-decently for GM devices. Took me FOREVER to sequence this. I had to use timing algorithms to accurately replicate the irregularly spaced notes (SFX stuff), which were difficult to transcribe even without that complication. Great track by Kazumi Totaka (戸高一生), he rocks!

Also, something that was brought up on the previous video - this is not a rip of the sequence data from the game, this was transcribed by ear, as is everything on my channel. I do not know of any way to rip sequence data from Yoshi's Story, and even if I did, I am fairly certain some of what I transcribed as notation is actually samples in the original track. Nonetheless I would love to see the original sequence data for the track, just to see how different it is!

i found your channel by chance and wanted to ask you. You write all these video games music with your ear? just by listening to the original?

[goniochromism]

yup! i use tools to help me, like using emulated music formats so i can mute sound channels, though sometimes i don't have that option (say with mp3s), so the only help i'll get is a wave editor, which is what i had to do for this tune.

It's so kafkaesque.

[LightBlueYoshi]

Whoa... WHOA! That was AMAZING! Perfect! :D:D

Like a lot of your other posts, I wouldn't have known this was a MIDI.

Even with the two side by side the average person would have difficulty.

Kudos.
