Tim Follin never ceases to amaze me with channel usage. Using a limited number to make room for sound effects and reducing the need for priorities, all while using high quality samples.

5 channels was around what a lot of European composers were used to working with, the Amiga had only four. The SNES’s biggest limitation was sample memory: Follin relied quite heavily on short, looping samples. Psudeo-wavetables, as I’d call them. (e.g. the guitar & low bass. the sine lead is a literal wavetable)

That guitar solo! The attention to detail is amazing for its time- you can hear the sound of the "strum" at the start of every note and the pitch bends as though it's on a real fretboard!

I think I read that his method was to play the guitar part himself and transcribe what he played into the SNES

I like how a such complex track like this one can be made by using only 5 channels. Tim Follin is a genius!!

Considering he used to work on 8-bit chips, it both doesn't surprise me and amazes me at the same time. Looking at it from a technical perspective, the way of doing this also allows not only room for free-priority sound effects, but also the ability to allocate more processing power to the chip to use higher quality samples, since only 5 are being used instead of the usual 8. Doing so lets the samples the ability to almost emulate multiple pitches at once (shown by channel 5) and reduce the need for layering. He truly is a genius.

And don't forget Geoff Follin! I'm pretty sure he actually composed most of the Plok ost and Tim helped him a bit.

Rumor is that Shigeru Miyamoto was astonished that this was being done on just SNES hardware and nothing else.

Yeah so much so that when the game was released in Europe, *Nintendo* was the one that published it and not Tradewest here in the States

the bassline at 5:50 sounds so badass

Huh, I didn't expect the electric guitar waveform to be so simple. It's just a square wave with a small notch in it.

@CreepimusGaming True, 8 PCM Channels each

DSP 3 is where the waveform constantly assigns itself 2:41

this is fascinating to hear what each channel is doing. I love how he's able to have multiple sounds at the same time on a single channel. This is especially evident in some of his 3-channel pieces (i.e. "LED Storm (ZXS 128k) - Title Theme" and "Gauntlet III - Title Theme") where he has the drumming in between the waves of the bassline on a single channel. It's extremely impressive, especially because he did this all through the code without any previous physical drafting. He's a true genius, along with his brothers.

You know a song is good when every part of it is awesome

Hmm, only 5 channels. DSP 3 is killing it. 9:56 EVERYBODY NOW!!

Words cannot describe the joy this deconstruction brings me! Geoff and Tim Follin made some truly fantastic music and hearing each part by itself made me appreciate one of my favourite OST's even more! Please consider more Plok/Follin deconstructions. :)

And he didn't even use all the channels??

Fact: Some good shit right there! Underated SNES Gem!

“How am I hearing 4 notes from 2 channels?” you ask. Neat little hack, actually. Instead of having the sample be a single note, he put in samples that were full chords, so when you program one note in the sequence, the sound consists of 3 pitches. This way, you could get as many voices of harmony as you want AND drums with only 5 channels of sound. Nobuo Uematsu also did this with a choir sound singing a major 7th chord Final Fantasy V. The only limit to this is that the chords have to move in parallel motion, so you can’t have 8 independent melodies AND a drum track, but I and most people think parallel motion sounds cool, so this gets a pass.

3:03 is where dsp 3 is a sine wave
