It's going to be a while until I ever get the chance to play the FFVII remake(s), if ever at all, but until then, I can still enjoy the new creations that are spawned from the original Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.
I believe Nobuo Uematsu contributed to this one and I believe, dare I say it, that this is one of my favourite compositions/mixes that he has been involved in. Somehow the Mako Reactor theme has been nurtured, shaped and formed into a battle theme that I absolutely adore.
Last time around, I used only pure samples from my Casio CT-S200 MIDI keyboard that I personally recorded and I felt that it fell short due to the fact that it ended up rather flat and 1-dimensional. I believe that a subtle blend of these sampled instruments along with some of those classic SunVox analogue generators and other modules really brings the whole thing to life.
I hope that I did this theme some justice and brought my own unique twist on this work. I switched out the brass for some short piano chords and used SunVox's vocal synth to shape some of the other generators. It's always fun to play around with the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillation) modules to add some dynamics with the percussion too.
Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.
