Random: Musician “Restores” Chrono Trigger Soundtrack Using Uncompressed Samples

Update: The video has been made personal, and it seems that Mathew Valente’s account has been hacked. We are going to be confident to update this write-up once the soundtrack has been manufactured readily available all over again.

For now, you can hear to some samples over on his Twitter account:

Mathew Valente, known as TSSF and who worked on the cancelled supporter match Chrono Resurrection, has received hold of the primary samples for the Chrono Bring about soundtrack and shared them on the web. These original samples contain the uncompressed songs right before it was compressed to empower it to perform on the SNES.

Shared on ResetEra by person AuthenticM, Valente has shared the job around on YouTube, which incorporates each and every single music on the primary soundtrack for Squaresoft’s seminal 1995 RPG. Also provided are the uncompressed variations of music from Radical Dreamers, the 1996 Satellaview textual content journey that was Japan-distinctive until eventually it was made offered in English for the to start with time ever through Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition previously this year.

Valente suggests he was performing on these restorations for “about two to three a long time”, which concerned gathering all of the samples, putting them alongside one another, and producing them audio ideal. You can pay attention to his hard get the job done under, and be blown absent at just how distinct — or equivalent — some of these foundational music sound.

This is, basically, Chrono Trigger’s new music as it was originally recorded, with precise instruments and synthesizers, clean up and uncompressed. Place your headphones on and get shed in Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu’s outstanding rating — tracks like ‘Undersea Palace’ and ‘Secret of the Forest’ sound definitely excellent, and you can decide on out instruments in other tunes that you may well not have guessed ended up even utilized at first.

This just isn’t the only SNES soundtrack Valente is operating on restoring, even so. The composer has also compiled multiple samples from Closing Fantasy IV, V, and VI much too. You can look at all those out on his YouTube channel, and if you might be a supporter of RPG audio, we highly suggest that you do. [Update: Valente’s account appears to be down, so we have removed the link to his YouTube channel for now. Instead, we suggest heading over to his Twitter to check out his work until the issue is resolved.]

Last year, the uncompressed Super Mario Environment soundtrack was shared on the web by Church of Kondo, and the channel has been operating on revealing even more basic SNES soundtrack samples with out the SNES compression.
