Waluigi's Pinball - Mario Kart DS - Deconstruction with Oscilloscopes

[@deconstructionproductions9348]

If you want to make a video like this on your own, hopefully these steps can help out: 1. I used vgmtrans to extract each song from the rom 2. Exported the songs into the highly compatible midi format with sf2 3. Deconstructed the channels to my liking in a generic music software and exported each one into a streamed sort of file (mp3, wav, etc.) 4. Put each file into SidWizPlus which does all the oscilloscope work. If SidWizPlus doesn't work that well I've heard of Corrscope but haven't given it a try. It may take some time to render. Hope this helps, if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them

[@deconstructionproductions9348]

@This Spoon is Abnormally Large I just upload the midi into a website called Jummbox, open the Song Player, and record the screen. Nothing too technical

[@dkscJulian]

@@deconstructionproductions9348 If I upload a midi to Jummbox, the only thing i get out of it is every single note played with the same instrument and it ends up in complete chaos... idk how midi files work, can you help me?

[@dobrakawanimat]

@@dkscJulian that depends on the midi, try some others

Thanks for all the technical details! Really cool of you to share this

[@nishthedish]

Part of what I love about listening to music I've heard countless times is finding new layers and instruments I never noticed before and focusing on them; focusing on all the little parts that make the song what it is without you even KNOWING it's happening. This is why I love video game music so much and videos like this PERFECTLY illustrate that passion.

[@Eden_M0rgan]

That's literally what I've been doing for a good few years. Give Newer DS's beta final boss theme a listen and you may know what I mean

[@HotdogAmigos]

Same! I feel pretty focused on trying to figure out what parts of the song I can figure out, while listening to a new section I hadn't heard before because of the main instruments.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

This is why Shinobu Nagata is my favorite composer at Nintendo. She's truly an unsung master.

[@TheNathannator]

it's interesting seeing polyphony within a single channel, instead of multiple channels being used for multiple notes of the same voice like older consoles

[@deconstructionproductions9348]

I was initially surprised when I figured that out too, which makes me wonder if I should have separate channels for each note played

[@Mizu2023]

Fun fact: the GBA's Sappy audio engine is capable of that!

[@bluerie._.3021]

The DS and GBA, while often criticized for poor audio quality, could actually pull off some pretty impressive stuff. Most of the limitations come from a lack of memory (ROM and RAM) and the poor quality of the speakers and audio jack on the physical consoles.

Oh this was phenomenal! I love the organ harmony, and I'm a sucker for the saxophone and guitar soundfonts. It's kinda gross to work with guitar soundfont but it's nice to hear it like this. And I didn't really appreciate the bassline until I heard this deconstruction that mutes it until the end, when that track was unmuted, it was ear candy 🔥

This was amazing. I love seeing songs deconstructed like this because it really gives you a good idea on what makes the song sound so good, all the individual parts working together. I also really appreciate you playing all the channels at the end since even though, yes, you can just listen to the song normally, this lets you have a visual reference, and see it all playing out. Thank you for making this, much love.

[@rismosch]

It's interesting how this music is lacking bass. The "bass synth" is significantly higher than what you would expect, and even the kick is higher pitched. The DS just didn't hadn't good enough speakers for bass, and they simply composed the music with this fact in mind.

[@coltrv]

And somehow they still managed to make the bass and kick go HARD AF

[@bluerie._.3021]

Sonic Rush has some amazing music for the ds, very impressive considering it came out launch year. It's way better and goes way harder than it has any right to, but that's just Hideki Naganuma for ya. Sonic Rush Adventure is also very good, but I don't think it's as impressive.
