Zelda: Breath of the Wild Trailer in Ocarina of Time Sauraen 2016-08-10 | DOWNLOAD the MP3 and MIDIs here! drive.google.com/file/d/0B9tFDW3YuNudV2JhUGRLNmpvQ2M/view?usp=sharingWatch this alongside the original trailer to see how everything lines up! youtu.be/yHqo28IjxxcI recreated the audio and video of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild E3 2016 trailer in the Ocarina of Time engine. The music you hear was recorded directly from a modified copy of Ocarina of Time, not made from samples in some music software. And each of the shots you see was recorded from the game as well, many of which had to be created from scratch as cutscenes to get the camera to move correctly.I decided to make this video because I love Ocarina of Time and I'm really excited to play Breath of the Wild next year. I believe this game will be as pivotal a moment for the Zelda series, and the gaming world in general, as Ocarina of Time was when it came out eighteen years ago. Enjoy!

Zelda: BotW Life in the Ruins Trailer Music in Ocarina of Time Sauraen 2016-12-03 | Less than 24 hours after the reveal of Nintendo's gorgeous new trailer "Life in the Ruins" for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I've transcribed and imported its music into the Ocarina of Time engine.DOWNLOAD the MP3 and MIDIs here: drive.google.com/open?id=0B9tFDW3YuNudc0FFUTNQeXd5SXMAlternatively, listen and download on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/sauraen/botw-ruins-ootThe audio you hear is playing IN ENGINE in a modified copy of Ocarina of Time, recorded directly from the game in an emulator.

For Good! (feat. Rugal) [FALLEN: An Undertale Tribute] Sauraen 2016-09-15 | BUY THIS TRACK OR THE WHOLE ALBUM AT http://www.materiacollective.com/music/fallen-undertale-tribute Links to iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp, and Loudr!I've always had a thing for endings; in fact, back in my vgmusic days, I had a habit of doing a transcription or arrangement of the ending theme of any game I beat. Getting to experience the ending is the reward a player gets for finishing a game, and it's an opportunity for the developers and composers to show off their best work to people who are already emotionally invested in the experience. But Undertale's true (pacifist) ending went way beyond this: it turned a nice game about love and friendship into an incredibly powerful emotional experience that deserves to be called one of the best games ever made. And Toby Fox did not disappoint in the musical department either: the pacifist ending is accompanied by a series of outstanding tracks, bound together by a masterful use of the game's main themes, which take the player along for the ride.I intended this arrangement to be a tribute to the incredible positivity the game, especially the true pacifist ending, gave me and every player who had the privilege to experience it. I also wanted to honor Asriel, who is my favorite Undertale character and one of my favorite characters in all of gaming. Finally, I wanted to create a fitting conclusion--a big ending--for this album, which I am so grateful and honored to be part of. I spent somewhere around a hundred hours on the arrangement, which I began in February; and I'm quite happy with how it has turned out.Because of the motivic nature of the Undertale soundtrack, it is difficult to name or decide on the root sources of many of the themes present in the game, let alone in an arrangement of its music. Nevertheless, this arrangement directly incorporates material from His Theme, Hopes and Dreams, SAVE the World, Last Goodbye, and Final Power; and it also references the B theme from Once Upon a Time at the end.The title "For Good!" is a reference to three different things. First, it's a reference to the final line in the game, when Asriel appears to introduce the backer credits and says "Ready? Let's end this all for good!" Here, "for good" means "permanently", telling the player that after all the plot twists they've been through, this really is the end of the game. Second, it references the fact that this is the music for the pacifist or "good" ending. And finally, it signifies the positive effect the game has had on the world--the game as a whole was "for good", even if Toby Fox had no idea of the scale of the impact it would have. I hope many more games are made "for good", and I hope my work could someday have this kind of positive impact.The arrangement was created with REAPER, EastWest sound libraries, and a variety of software synth plugins. Rugal played and recorded the lead and rhythm guitar parts, and improvised the guitar solo near the end. I created the arrangement, performed some of the synth parts (with editing of course), and did all virtual instrument performance programming, mixing, and other production. Special thanks to Fredrik Häthén for mixing feedback, and Doug Perry for giving me the chance to have this track on the album.

It took very many takes to get it right!It's a rather loose interpretation, but it's the best the organ can do. I wish the drum patterns were fully programmable! Oh well, I guess 50+ voices of 4-operator FM synthesis was pretty good. :)There's also a reference at the end to Kirby's Dream Land 2 "Breakbeat Forest" OC ReMix by Tepid (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01564)

Zelda Majoras Mask - End Credits MIDI Export - Played on MIDIbox FM V2.1 Sauraen 2014-11-10 | Ripped/Converted from Audioseq to MIDI with SEQ64 - MIDI import/export tool for first-party N64 games http://github.com/sauraen/seq64Played on MIDIbox FM V2.1 - 36-voice homebrew FM synthesizer, using GM sound bank (2-operator synthesis). More information at http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19073-midibox-fm-v21-on-stm32f4Nintendo: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64, 2000): End Credits (Part 1), composed by Koji Kondo.SEQ64 is a cross-platform, GPL-licensed sequenced music modification tool for first-party N64 games (games that use the Audioseq format). These games include Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Mario Kart 64, and several others. It supports MIDI import/export (including "compression", loops, and all other commands supported by the Audioseq format) and custom redefinition of the file format and ROM information using the mature GUI interface. Available soon.Currently, MIDI export is working quite well, as you can hear; there are only a couple of not-yet-supported commands. Instrument information is stored separately, and hence all the instruments are wrong in the output MIDI file; I corrected this simply by loading the correct instruments to each channel in MIDIbox FM V2.1.

Dual MFOS SL Mini Synth MK II: Guitar Jam Sauraen 2014-06-02 | I enlisted the help of one of my housemates, who is playing electric guitar into one of the external audio inputs. Still there's a couple moduation paths that aren't quite right, but this is a nice taste. S&H and VC-LFO mod are working and will appear in the next video!
