Bionicle GBA - OST

This is some of my earlier GBA work.
I had limited resources with this game,
The .xm files take up a total of 274kb in samples, and I had to use the same set for all the songs.
because of limited cpu power, all ingame songs are 4 channels.
Menu-, cutscene- and jingles were allowed to be 8 channels.

Tracklist: 0:00 main menu 1:14 Above Ground theme 3:02 Above Ground Theme 2 (unused) 4:07 Boss theme 5:16 Boss defeat jungle 5:53 Cutscene theme 6:27 ice level theme 8:50 underground theme

Hardware Limitations... Knowing this by creating Commodore Amiga Covers and actual Gameboy (Color) Tracks LOL Very amazing OST, even when using the same Instrument Sets ;P

Damn, I've been wondering for almost 20 years who the composer of this soundtrack is. And now I finally find it, after many, many years! This is the soundtrack that instilled in me a love for tracker music (along with music from custom deathmatch maps for Doom2) when I was a little nine-year-old child, and probably determined the fact that I became a musician many years later (because I became a musician only thanks to trackers). Thank you very much! Three questions: 1) Is it possible to download the original .XMs somewhere? 2) Why in the game are slightly different versions of melodies? In particular, Opening Theme in the game is slower + Above Ground Theme at 1:29 is clearly very different from the one in the game (in the game it is much more varied, so I guess “final4” turned out to not be 'final', lol). 3) What synth was used for the choir?

1) No, I never upload my source files online , 2) This is from my archive, and as I've used multiple pc's over the years the archive might just not be 100% accurate with the latest versions. There might be a final6! :) 3) IIRC it was from a Spectrasonics library

request: could you bring the "drome racers" soundtrack for GBA please??🙏🙏🙏

[@valentinazhuravleva6730]

Request: Could you please upload title music from "A Sound of Thunder" (my favourite track) and music from unreleased games like "DIX", "Artifact", "The Fast and the Furious" (Vivendi Universal), "High Heat Major League Baseball 2004" and "Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo", which you mentioned in your gameography at Spiresound site?

Nice to see another game soundtrack upload from you, these are really high quality! For an early GBA title especially it has some of the best sounding samples and instrumentation, I suppose there was a custom replayer in use for this and Wade Hixton?

[@garlicsaucer]

Yes, we had created our own custom replayer at Engine Software. (Which has also been adopted by/licensed to several other developers)

Is that famitracker that you're using ? How did you manage to achieve the "choir" effect for all of these songs ? I gotta say it is quite impressive

[@garlicsaucer]

It's madtracker 2, a windows based Fasttracker 2 clone. The choir is just a sampled choir from my synthesizers.
