fun fact: the WarioWare series keeps sequenced music alive to this day (due to the game needing to speed up the music as you keep playing) so even vocal tracks like Tomorrow Hill or Penny's Theme are actually sequenced and chop up the vocals into a bunch of individual short samples

WHOA This is really well documented. Thanks for your effort!

16:10 - you're telling me that the game that inspired me to learn bass actually used VST bruuuuuuuh 💀

As an Audio Engineer, Music Producer, Game Developer working for a certain company... I gotta say this video is delightful! Incredibly well done! It is great to see someone putting so much effort into explaining, recording, editing and showing off how the whole thing actually works! By the way, fun fact, you can just use all those synths using D.A.Ws and VSTis (Like M1 by Korg, Kontakt by native Instruments, Addictive Keys by XLN Audio, Omnisphere by Spectrasonics, Trilian also by Spectrasonics). And if you want to get that "old school generation" sounds like 8 to 32 bits generation try using any Plug-In that can run this effect "Bit Crushing", then try adding some Compression (using any FET Compressor), a lil bit of Reverb (Small Room), and finally some Equalization to "Mod" the frequencies of the sound the way you want.

Very good video

7:00 Shoutout to the Finger for making me laugh for two consecutive minutes.

One of my favorite examples of sampling is the recent Pizza Tower game, using real recordings of bass and overdrive guitar, blended with samples from tons of GBA games, specifically WarioLand 4. There’s also voice samples! Not to mention the composer knew exactly how to make the coolest beats and most memorable medleys. Overall, Pizza Tower is a melting pot of sound that takes you right back to the fresh early-2000’s and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is VERY HIGH-QUALITY content! I'm looking forward to your future works!!

This is my most favorite video of 2023. The day this video came out I saw it back to back two times and have already rewatched it like 3 times since then. I listen to a lot of VG soundtracks and seeing how the osts from different genres and franchises are connected and influenced from the same source is truely intriguing. Also, The editing just screams creativity and novelty, It makes me fully engage in the video since I can see that the creator has thought about how to present every shot and frame in a fun and unique way

as an amateur composure and producer, this makes me feel better about the things I make and helps me be more willing to use samples

Can't believe the Roland SC-88 French Horns are like Among Us for video game music fans This is such a well-done video, I've wanted this kind of video essay content on old gaming soundtracks for a while now, and I'm happy to say that you absolutely nailed the topic. Lots of old gaming OSTs bring unique sounds you don't get often, and are the best examples of "limitations breed creativity." (I personally think the original Super Smash Bros for the N64 is a REALLY good demonstration of this, both Final Destination and Meta Crystal in particular have very special sounds.) I'd be so down to hear even more of your VGM discussions, this and the UT video are crazy good!

Toffee you blew my frickn mind with the "restored" songs from old consoles part. Like of course the original samples didn't sound compressed (because they weren't), but for my whole life I just thought they were because that's what the composer was going for 💀

The French horns scrolling across the screen absolutely assassinated me TTwTT

I'm a musician for 20 years. I'm also an old gamer almost in my 40s. This video is an absolute gem. The information that I already knew was so well put together it was a pleasure to revisit. And the content I didn't know was informative and delicious to watch.

音楽制作の参考になりました。本当に感謝しています。それにしても、生演奏も良いですが、サンプルされた音をピッチを変えて使って作られた音楽は特に好きです。なぜかって？それは、生演奏は同じスネアをたたいたとしても地味に違うことがあって、僕はそれが本当にきらい...!?打ち込み系音楽はそういうことがなくて好きなんですよね...しかも、特殊な音があったりしてね、音楽の冒険は無限大ですね！！！

Wow! This is a VERY well made video on this subject. Ever since I got into the scene in early 2020, and founded the Church of Kondo in early 2021, I've always wanted a video like this to be made on the matter. Thank you for bringing attention to the research and the work we as a community have done on this very subject, and please keep up the excellent work! ~Infomaniac95, leader of the Church of Kondo

This video is so well put together! As someone with a similar fascination with how a lot of older MIDI based game osts worked, this was so cool to watch. Tekken 3 sharing a whole riff with a Conker game threw me off so hard you dont even know 😭😭😭

the editing is insanely good from start through end. keeping me from clicking away i didn't even realize it was 23 minutes long! i'm impressed 💯

Roland SC-88 has such an iconic sound and a great number of immediately recognizable samples, especially from the late 90s/early 00s. Wonderful video!

This is gonna become the next Cobble_stone.jpg where it’s just “Can you spot the reused stone texture?” but with audio instead.

INCREDIBLE!!!! This is a topic I had lined up but had no idea where to start. Like I was still stuck on the 5 channels NES sounds and you went and found the Chemical Plant sample?!?!? Man you did an amazing job Toffee! Makes me motivated wanna dive into this too. Thank you for the frogs as well.

ur channel is phenomenal!! i’ve been learning so much :D

Your content is so exceptional. It's really, really digestible, well-presented, and in-depth. I love when creators talk about their process of creating, and I think that you reverse engineering a lot of this stuff (when you're not directly citing it from somewhere else) is such an outstanding, worthwhile effort. Thank you so much! Creators like you inspire me a lot.

I’ve watched this video like 5 times now I absolutely love this!! It’s so well done!!

A few years back, I stopped a movie I was watching with some friends because the shimmering sound from Wind Waker was in it. Nobody was a big enough Zelda nerd to hear it but now I have confirmation and an explanation! Thank you 🙏✨

A friend of mine plays guitar in a British tech metal band (Monuments) and he worked on a music sample disc which ended up getting used in Overwatch. His name is John Browne and he wrote the song Mercury Rising for a sampler called Derailed for 8Dio which was used in the intro of the Volskaya BGM. He didn't even know about it until someone pointed it out to him.

it's insane to see other recognized creators acknowledge your video, goes to show how much your content is full of effort (well and they might just like game music xd) still, loved your vid

The section highlighting the samples used in DMC literally just left me with my jaw on the floor: simultaneously a roast of them relying on the sample discs so heavily but also so cool how they still ended up coming together for an iconic sound. Great video, so happy I stumbled across it on Twitter

Hideki's music has done so much for me in terms of sampling. I would love a video on him at some point!

17:46 Just wanted to note! On the "Melee Music Developer Roundtable" series of articles from the old Melee website, Shogo Sakai says the guitar on Mute City was played by Hiroaki Yoshida (MARO) from Data East Great video!! The art of sampling is one of the coolest, to me

I was so ready to suscribe and look at the other videos in your channel when suddenly you mentioned your old undertale video and I went "YOURE THAT GUY?" dude i love how engaging and insightful your videos are

This is the kind of video quality I'd expect from someone with four times the number of subscribers and viewers, along with a really well made and engaging script and information. Mostly just commenting for the algorithm since this deserves as many eyes as possible.

I cannot overstate how nice it was to see a video do justice to one of my biggest special interests. As soon as you got into the Roland Sound Canvas stuff I was so excited!

Hi Toffee, I want to let you know that I often come back and rewatch this video more times than I can recall. Not only this one, but how Toby composed the music and your replay of Undertale. I don’t know how to describe this, but it’s relaxing in a way. I love your way of explaining things, your art style, and your sense of humor. It’s kinda my safe place when I have a bad day and cheers me up more when I have a good day, though I haven’t had the opportunity to catch you live on the purple KZfaq. I waited this long to type this message because this video went viral and your notifications must have gotten wild. I’m hoping this message gets to you when you’re in a good mood. If I ever start a KZfaq career, I’ll make sure to credit you as an inspiration. But that’s beside the point. I’m typing this message because I want to make a petition. I would love to see a mini-documentary from you about the music from Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The First, an indie game by Austin Jorgensen. There are so many interesting facts about how Austin created the music for Lisa and all the samples he used. It would be so awesome to hear about it from you. I wish you had a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Also, happy birthday

I’ve always loved these technical deep dives into the makings of VGM. I wish there were more videos like this out there because I geek out every single time whenever I watch one. Great video.

Hi! I'm one of the collaborators for the spreadsheet (in particular anything related to Mario Kart, Roland Sound Canvas Findings and much more. Including the person who restored the MK64 Restoration project in Church of Kondo.) I want to say thank you for representing our community and it's sub communities! The Mario Kart Spreadsheet took about 3 years to be well off where it's at currently and I hope to see more of your content soon! P.S I would love to collaborate with you for a dedicated Mario Kart findings vid series sometime!

Thank you so much for doing this topic justice, so many people casually think video game music starts and ends with the soundfont lolll i did some of the first smw restorations on church of kondo, which in hindsight sound pretty awful and arent very accurate at all, and since then I've had so much fun researching the samples used in Splatoon and Kirby and other my favorite games. its a great way to break down the music, get into the head of a composer and find out how they view sound design and arrangement

As a solo indie dev, this makes me feel so much more at ease seeing that even the biggest giants use botched work that heavily. I feel way more confident with my creations, thank you ❤

As a musician this is some of the most interesting content I've consumed in the past year and also gives me a ton of confidence knowing that some of the greatest music ever made for video games is made roughly the same way I make my music today!

I am impressed with just how well researched this video is. Whether you want to know more about how to do this yourself or just have an interest in how other people make some of your favorite tracks, this is a very cohesive summary!

I feel like it was probably worth noting that the original MIDI modules also make use of all the same techniques (pitch shifting, loop points, ASDR controls, etc.), old games simply resampled the samples and then cut them down as much as possible to make it fit on the cartridge. Of course, the MIDI modules don't have the same storage restrictions so they can make the loop points much bigger and give instruments different samples based on the pitch/velocity they're played at which makes them sound a lot higher quality, but ultimately they're still just digital samples much like the resampled versions you hear in the games.

This is my new favorite video on KZfaq. I love video game music to death, and so learning about the topic through a seamlessly edited video that is pleasing to the eyes and ears was the most pleasant way to start my morning. Your commitment to recreate all these iconic tunes is admirable. You, my friend, have earned a new subscriber and deserve more. 👏🏻 Right before I saw the thumbnail for this video, I actually stumbled upon my first sampling parallel just the other day: Vamos a Carnaval from Samba de Amigo and Remix 2 from Rhythm Heaven DS both use the same vocal samples ("Hey!" and "Oohhh yeah! Come on!") 🤯

This is insane, this video should have millions of views, I absolutely love you for making this video, as an aspiring musician myself i will surely use the knowledge you have shared in the future, thank you so much for giving such a comprehensive explanation on this topic, I myself didn't find it convoluted of anything like that, i think it was very well written, good job man this is truly amazing

Incredible editing!! I can't imagine how much time it took you to make things look this clean! I was totally dumbfounded by your subscriber count, you're on your way up!

As a former Siivagunner contributor I really appreciate you making this video. Messing around with Nintendo DS midis gave me such a big appreciation for sampling and sequenced music and I'm glad more people are getting the word out about it

YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE THE FRENCH HORN!!! Also, knowing these samples are used doesn't "kill" the magic of the soundtracks, it just makes me even more interested in these songs and how they were made. It also let's me know that we have the option to use these iconic sounds as well. You would never have known how in reach they were all this time! Little me back then thought these were mostly orchestral or real plays, knowing they're mostly sampled now makes me even more impressed. I mean, the quality of these sounds is unbelievable! It's incredible how we can make them sound near identical to live performances! (lacking that human touch of course) We went from programmable waveform channels to this. It's great! Also, amazing video and editing! It's very well structured and you're amazing at explaining all this information. I honestly hope your channel blows up!

I had wanted to make a video like this years ago, and seeing somebody properly equipped to do so actually make it and make it so beautifully is just wonderful. This was so well done, well documented, and brilliant all around. Well done. Immediate follow

I love seeing videos about VGM production, and it's especially cool when it's from someone in the community. Nice job!

learning about the exact samples, vsts, soundfonts, etc. that were used to make songs that so many people adore is so fascinating to me especially hearing other songs using the same samples then being able to know exactly where it came from is such a fun experience thanks for making this video, Toffee! :D

was so happy when i saw route 104 that is hands down my favorite pokemon track and everytime you were playing the instruments before all i could hear was that song

You have succesfully earned my number 1 comfort video considering im also getting into music and i really love this type of video/editing style! Thank you for making such a great video on the world of sampling

Absolutely fantastic thorough video on the topic! I remember being so frustrated at the absolute lack of resources when I was learning this stuff. What I would have given to have such a great video! I'd love to see any more videos you have on sampling or video game music in general!

The first time I really took notice of this kind of sampling was back in high school when I was playing Pokemon White 2, and I immediately noticed that the vocal samples used in elesa's gym theme were the same ones used in "Dancer in the Street" from The World Ends With You

The gameboy and the french horn... Name a more iconic duo

I adore your documentation and compilation of all these lovely songs and samples!! And the French horn parts were amazing oml

Around 8 years ago, I wrote a Master's Thesis about the history and development of music compositional practices in games. There was little academic literature on the subject, and most interviews with composers were quite surface level. One of the best sources was honestly a Red Bull produced mini-documentary series. None of these sources presented such a great summary of sound/music sampling in games as this video. Kudos to you.

That DMC segment threw me dawg. Watched this a second time and it's just as good as the first. Please do that Funky Uncle video I am begging you

The production and editing you put on this video is amazing! Is great to see more people covering the VGM production process, you not only covered the CD samples of the 90s but also the instruments, synthesis and sound chips from the 80s, great educational content here . Me myself made a similar video but focusing in the Silent Hill music and how these samples were used, but your video really is like the foundation or basis to anybody that wants to understand all about VGM, so congrats for that! 😄

I used to be that one snobbish & cynical narrow-minded person when it comes to music that relies on sampling like rap or hiphop for example. I thought it was lazy & did not require much skill or talent to make.. Though i've been listening to alot of different styles of music since late of 2019 both new & old (mostly from the electronic & alternative side). I have changed my mind since then & trying to re-evaluate my mostly bad/ignorant takes from the past. Sampling to me, seems like a very fun & creative way to express yourself through music. It also offers alot of possibilities or unique ways of how you want your music to sound like, especially if you're an ambitious or aspiring future musician : ) Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking & insightful video. Hopefully some people will also change their perception of sampling or music production in general 💚

I'm getting into music production myself and I LOVED your Undertale video, I am SO happy to see you post more about the inner workings of music! You truly deserve a lot more recognition than you're getting right now!

So darn well edited JEEEESUSSSS, like the little decorative sqares in the pause and continue buttons on minute 1:04 / 23:52 are such minute details but that still give life to your work keeping everything connected and smooth. Honestly, congratulations, this is awesome

I love your video so much, all the things are detailed, and you can even find the exact sample in vsts, that's amazing.

criminally undersubbed channel considering THIS level of quality!! well researched and sick editing, keep it up buddy:)))

This is great. Sampling in games is always a fun topic to learn about. And you can bet I want a video on Hideki Naganuma and Jet Set Radio. I’ve downloaded a few sample CDs and recognized some JSR samples from them, and boy was that feeling great.

ToffeeBun’s love for everything music is almost as vast and great as their love for the French Horn.

Fantastic video! Yeah, as an artist, seeing and understanding the tools that these amazing people used to create these pieces of art that have moved me and created so many deep memories is just beautiful to me, so thank you!

i always felt kinda lost when composing music with the amount of options not really covering what im looking for, this really helps knowing that people just take things from everywhere. thanks!

One of my favorite cases of sampling is smash bros brawl's "Pictochat". It uses the startup sound of the ds (which I'm pretty sure is just a compressed sound library piano with reverb/delay) and then from there on it becomes its own instrument thanks to pitched sampling, alongside percussion being sound effects from the ds, its just so great, and it helps make the song have its own unique feel that only belongs to that song.

I did not expect for this video to be as interesting as it was honestly, you made the complicated world of BGM and Sampling sound relatively approachable and easy to understand. Great job, will definitely check out more

Very informative and interesting video. Absolutely love the flow of the editing as well. Really an astounding job!

This is very well made and fun to watch. I am eager for more Video-game-music content from you. I really enjoyed this one :). Thanks!

Dang man this video is so well put together it unironically feels like a (good) college lecture at times, totally sold on subscribing to you.

i’ve been looking forward to this upload for so long!!!!!! amazing work toffee :D

It's so nice to see somebody else who loves finding samples for video games, and recreating them on their keyboard. I thought I was the only person who liked doing that. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone in my weird neurodivergent fixation on instrument sampling.

I have watched a whole lot of videos about video game music and I don’t think I’ve ever learned this much from any of them, stayed entertained the whole way through as well! The aesthetic of this channel is also adorable, and editing is great, I just overall really like it here :3 Hope to see a lot more in the future ^^

Really amazing production on this vids, I would be totally down for a Hideki Naganuma deep dive. I'm going to college specifically for writing Music and Sound Design in games, and it's cool seeing how many of these techniques are still in practice. My favorite usage of the French Horn is Masked Dedede's Revenge, and my favorite sample is a toss up between Deirdre and All You Need is Love in Earthbound. Amazing recontextualization of the originals.

Randomly clicked, and don't regret it. Love your style, especially the NDS/ pictochat recreation. Well made, and well researched. Must have taken a lot of time to make!

I'm rewatching this video multiple times, I love it! I love the effort you put in the visual!

This is so well done, couldn’t have explained it better myself, massive props man i love that youre bringing this to the forefront

Straight up this is one of my new favorite videos on the platform. The editing and humor is spot on and the educational merit in terms of documentation and presentation is invaluable to me as a beginner musician and sampler. You're the best Toffee, thank you!

amazing video with extremely fluid editing‼️‼️ sequenced music was used so much for so much longer than people realize that this kind of thing could be discussed forever honestly. ape escape 3 is one i just have to mention, it’s such a dynamic soundtrack that it seemingly doesn’t make sense as a sequenced game, yet it is

A superb video! Sometimes KZfaq algorithm is just bad but today I discover your channel and this video so... thanks you KZfaq today

Oh wow, this is a REALLY good video! I was always wondering about this, but don't know where to search and stuff like that. It's such a niche thing, but really interesting. Thanks for making this! I enjoyed the video a lot. Your presentation is also lovely.

I audibly said "NO" when 20:14 happened I was SHOOK

YES A VIDEO ON HIDEKI NAGANUMA!!! i love listening to you and explaining stuff, you're way of talking has such an inviting manner on the topic :D

Honestly it's been a while since I saw a nice essay/documentation video on anything thank you for making my afternoon 😊

Man, I know you've posted this in a while but... Everything in this video is so well done and well put together. Everything. The editting, the lesson methods, the sources of infos, the comparisons... The amount of work it must have taken is insane, but so is how much you cared on each frame of this video. Even your choices of games, almost all of them resonate with me so... All I have to say is: Thank you.

This was such a cool video, as a beginner composer everything of this is really motivating, especially when we think about how much more affordable is music composition today, thanks toffee

i just found a 10/10 channel, i hope you blow up

Dude, that spreadsheet is the thing that I've been looking for my whole life! I had a Sega Saturn during the 90s and I love the sound of the synths and samples used in their VGMs but I could never find what hardware they were using. You seriously gave me the key to information that I had been looking for years. Thank you so so much! You're definitely getting my like and subscription. Keep up the amazing content! ♥

I couldn't stop smiling through this entire video, so much nostalgia. I loved this very informative and fun

That was absolutely incredible!! The amount of information was wild and it all flowed together so well. The editing too is off the charts. And I absolutely share your fascination with samples in VGM and music in general. It's honestly crazy when you find out and unravel the huge net of samples used in all kinds of places. Like it's all connected through those sound bites. And over the years even simple sounds can evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and memories. Sometimes I listen to a new song and notice a sound I just *know* I heard before and scratch my head for hours trying to find the source. The entire topic is something I could spend so much time with. And this video scratched that itch so much. Loved your little cameo in Andrew Cunningham's video as well, can't wait to see more music related stuff like this! Thanks for making this video!

Lovely video! As someone who enjoys (but also struggles with) making their own music inspired by video game soundtracks, it's super neat the learn more about them! And I love how you explain them in a concise and entertaining way. Also your voice is super comforting and gives your videos this warm and welcoming vibe. You've got a new sub!

great editing 10/10 good narration 10/10 excellent estructure 10/10 no hideki naganuma final score: 0

I love how well documented and well made this video is, it feels professional and is fun to watch! Please make more content like this. :)

Always been interested in videogame sampling, so this video is really up my alley! Also, you should totally do a video on Hideki Naganuma!

I hope people realise just how incredible this video truly is, great work.

Wow this production value! I can't imagine how much work went into this video. I am a HUGE VGM nerd and even I found new info in this. Also, my favorite pastime is watching/playing something and acknowledging, loudly, every time I hear a sound effect I recognize from 007 Goldeneye.

You put so much effort into this video, it’s impressive! I would love to see the next part honestly! ^^
