Johto Trainer Battle - Pokémon G/S/C (Remaster/Remix) - DaforLynx DaforLynx 2021-07-25 | Made for the VGM Workshop July 2021 Challenge: redo an 8-bit video game track with modern style!Didn't go too crazy with this one. Did the best I could in terms of sound quality with the tools I have. It's pretty faithful. Unfortunately it strikes me as very similar to the Let's Go! Pikachu and Eevee games, which is exactly what I was going for, but I find that type of remastering kind of boring. This doesn't hold a candle to the HeartGold/SoulSilver version, but Go Ichinose went effing ham on that one, so I had no chance.High quality audio can be found on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/daforlynx/johto-trainer-battle-remasteredScore: musescore.com/daforlynx/johto-trainer-battle-remasteredFeel free to use the music however you feel fit, but be sure to credit me!
Lost Alone for So Long DaforLynx 2025-01-15 | Another older contest piece from January 2024 I haven't uploaded. This time the challenge was to use only sounds from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2. Around this time I had also figured out how to play soundfonts without interpolation in the DAW using FluidSynthPlugin, and this was the perfect opportunity to abuse that.PMD:EoS Soundfont compiled by StaticRBackground pixel art is "Mountain Dusk Parallax background" by ansimuz: ansimuz.itch.io/mountain-dusk-parallax-backgroundFree downloads:https://dafor.link/discography/misc-ingles/16/daforlynx.bandcamp.com/track/lost-alone-for-so-longAll rights reserved.
Riolus Challenge [DSINK_GM_32K.sf2] DaforLynx 2025-01-07 | This was made for a contest back in March 2024, which was to create a theme for any Pokémon. So I went a step farther, and made two - an encounter theme and a battle theme. It also, of course, served as a test for my then-in-development soundfont DSINK_GM_32K.Riolu art by @AdvosArt Playback by fluidsynth. Visualization by midis2jam2.

Theme of Unyielding Purpose DaforLynx 2024-06-12 | Mmm crunchyWhy do you create? Everything I make is in service to art. To our undying spirit, to our capacity for emotion, to our need to tell stories. I cannot imagine a life without art. I cannot imagine a life without the drive to create.

The only thing that matters is that it selflessly gives you happiness.Just messing around with Pokémon Black 2/White 2 (gotta get that in there) sounds again...for yet another contest.Free download: daforlynx.bandcamp.com/track/theme-of-unyielding-purposeAll rights reserved.

(Latios/Latias)This was made for a contest, but it's also the sort of piece I've wanted to make for a while. Just going all out with the music arranging and production skills I've gathered over my years of engaging in this hobby. It's the last piece I composed in 2023, and my way of capping off the year.I tried to emulate the feel of Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire's soundtrack, and from the reactions I've had thus far I think I got pretty close.Free download: daforlynx.bandcamp.com/track/open-your-heart-battle-for-the-eonsFeatures themes composed by Jun'ichi Masuda and Shota Kageyama.Art by Ken Sugimori.All rights reserved.

A seriously Hugh banger, I would say. I found some neat guitars so I figured I'd take this opportunity to try applying them to the MIDI. One thing led to another, and I ended up remaking the entire track. Whoops.The video portion took way too long. I am NOT a video editor, that is for sure.

Orchestral Strings VST Test: Berlin Inspire 1 vs. BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover DaforLynx 2021-11-20 | Comparing the sound of Berlin Inspire's Strings patch against the free BBCSO Discover's strings. Testing all articulations in identical scores. Thoughts onscreen.In the end, it's up to you whether it's worth spending the money for some nice strings. Personally, I think it's a steal - and it could sound quite good when combined with the other orchestral instruments of BBCSO. This is the first VST I've ever bought with money.Get Berlin Inspire 1 (or any of its included patches) by Orchestra Tools:orchestraltools.com/store/collections/43Get BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover by Spitfire:spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discoverTimestamps:0:05 - Berlin Orchestra Inspire0:48 - BBC Symphony Orchestra DiscoverTranscription:Strings VST Test: Berlin Inspire (€30) vs. BBCSO Discover (Free)(No panning, no effects, same CC automation)Berlin Inspire StringsBI Strings does not have separate instrumentsArticulation can be assigned to MIDI channels!It has access to slow sustains (useful for pads)The panning is biased towards the right...Pizzicato can be somewhat indistinctWhile the sustains can sound a little washy...The sound is clean and it is quite high-quality for the price (around $33US) BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover (Strings)Articulation can only be changed using keyswitches.First thing you'll notice...There's a bit of a buildup on every note. (particularly in the upper strings)Very obvious that it's a sampler.There seems to be a lot less dynamic range...The short articulations...are quite good!The sound is a little more intimate and the soundstage is fuller (though the violin 2 samples sound weird)For some reason, the basses have no tremolo articulation.Also, the dynamic range is especially poor here.But BBCSO Discover is a full orchestra! These are just the strings.

Pokémon World Tournament Final Battle - Pokémon B2/W2 (Remix) - DaforLynx DaforLynx 2020-06-25 | Musescore: musescore.com/daforlynx/pwt-remixSoundCloud: soundcloud.com/daforlynx/pwt-remixThis is a remix/rearrangement of the song that plays at the top of each bracket in the PWT. It takes some cues from the original, but most of it is my own interpretation. I used Musescore for composing and Ableton for everything else.This is my first video on YouTube. I'm not sure what else I'll use this channel for besides music (to sync with Musescore), but the time will come eventually where I branch out. I hope you enjoy.
