This is an oscilloscope deconstruction of Two of Braves from Mega Man Battle Network 6.
Notes:
I want to give a shoutout to ‪@sktbox4996‬ . It was his deconstruction of this song (which you should all watch • Mega Man Battle Networ... ) that originally inspired me to start this series. Please subscribe to him especially if you like sonic advance deconstructions. Here is just my take on deconstructing this song.
Two of Braves is definitely in my top 10 favorite BN songs, along with Battle Start and BN6 Navi Customizer. Similar to And You Will Know the Truth and Final Transmission, this song is a remix of the title theme's leitmotif. I love the way it sounds, especially how square 1 and square 2 harmonize and the variety of sounds in the PCM channel.
One thing I notice in this song is that wave pattern includes a lot of portamento (pitch bending) between notes at the beginning of the loop. It's a really cool effect.
What do you think of this deconstruction? Let me know in the comments.
