Plok! - Boss (oscilloscope)

[@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243]

Friendly reminder that the laugh wasn’t an existing sound effect

[@SkippyZii]

I found that out today via a soundfont

[@saltedmutton7269]

@nikolaospapadopoulos5558what they mean is that there's no laughing sound in the game's soundfont, but instead the laugh is built out of other samples also, i think the snes can do AM (but correct me if i'm wrong on this)

[@PKSuperStar256]

@@SkippyZii, just remember that the SNES (like most consoles at the time) don't use soundfonts. The SNES in particular uses raw sound samples. Soundfonts take recordings of sounds from anything and use them in the soundfont.

[@Lou-yf1jo]

no

[@abdullahajeebi]

@@PKSuperStar256 He may be technically right, a soundfont is a collection of samples, which in this case, are Plok! samples.

[@himalayansaltlamp1709]

*frantically trying to solve the vibes each instrument represents* One of the best retro boss themes ever!

[@coydog7902]

I wish plok was a more popular game so Tim follin would continue being in the soundtrack business

[@DerpDerp3001]

CoyDog790, I wonder what his GBA pieces would sound like?

[@redvelvetcorridor]

DerpDerp3001 i see you on every plok related video lol

[@DerpDerp3001]

Printer, I am everywhere on KZbin.

[@coydog7902]

DerpDerp3001 Me too or DS

[@brunchtime2059]

i actually make my own music using the plok soundfont on my channel just because i love how it sounds so much lol

[@nabman11]

The SNES had 8 audio channels Tim Follin managed to do this with 5. The balls on this guy must be the heaviest objects recorded by humans.

[@creeperx3sssboom347]

It's what AC/DC was singing about

[@bethmoth22]

I love the way every sing wave literally changed right on the dot at 30 seconds 0:30 0:25

[@kpdelaney6460]

Same thing happens in beach. This game’s ost has some bangers

[@loopyoof]

0:29 its crazy how they change

[@Aluminum.K]

Seeing how organically the middle waveforms move makes me happy

[@NEStalgia]

A correction: there were 2 composers, Tim and his brother Geoff and not just Tim

[@hyperion3145]

Apparently Geoff did most of the work

[@nabman11]

Geoff did most of the composing while Tim did all the programming and some of the composing. This is the one track in the game that Tim did 100%.

[@LondenTower]

0:30 that waveform on the middle right looks so dynamic to me as if it's being modulated or something.

[@SbubbyS]

after having done some SPC player shenanigans some time ago i can actually confirm (to the best of my knowledge) that all of the tracks being used for the F Eb Gb bassline are a dotted 32nd into a 64th that is an octave lower

[@syntheticsaturn]

those middle waves are jammin out. look at them go

[@jelanifranklin9744]

I have this game and this is probably the best boss theme I've ever heard.

[@daoswaldplushie1316]

when someone sneezes so you say "bless you" but you remember that you live alone:

[@RoddyDev]

1:35 this part reminds me of Time Trax on the Genesis

[@Uslessaccount]

Same composer. Good stuff

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

Chances are that Tim sampled the FM sounds he made for Time Trax and used them in this track in particular.

[@RedTsarOldChannel-INACTIVE]

@@AgsmaJustAgsma That's can't have happened because... First: Plok was released in '92. Time Trax began development probably in mid-'93. Second: Time Trax wasn't developed by Software Creations; instead, it was by Malibu Games, the US game company Follin had moved in in early '94.

[@AjiraCtelin1993]

tfw the music is *handily* the best part of the game

[@newdykung6775]

Well that's Follin bros for us lol

[@The-official-knudschannel]

Man... this theme always gives me goosebumps, in a good way

[@ostradiemgi5469]

Yoooo, Giorgio Moroder in the house!

[@mcmillan.2k]

God damn this sounds like some Justice shit

[@SullySadface]

this is what i set my ps1 to when i inserted a music cd

[@Kinglizard220]

0:28 the other guy in the gtr revved a lil to hard before the light turned green, it's show time

[@michaiah3118]

This is like sonic or other retro game bosses

[@D322MWUNITED]

Awesome! Is there a special file type for this song?

[@roilo8560]

it should just be .spc

[@Lou-yf1jo]

why is it being played in a separate location

[@mabuss8584]

😈
