Software synthesizer experiments: 幽霊楽団 ～ Phantom Ensemble (Touhou 7)

video upload by Rhokin321

"This is a software synthesizer and MIDI player of mine playing the original th07_09.mid from Touhou 7.

I’m using FM synthesis to generate the waveforms in a way vaguely inspired by old FM sound chips. It doesn’t have that many unique instruments right now, most of them are used in this song. I would like to add LFOs, better envelopes and possibly some basic signal filters eventually.

I did not compose or arrange any of this, I just made the synthesizer.

DSE Music Visualization - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
"I really like the music in this game!

This is a music player and visualizer tool I’ve been developing as a passion project for a while now.
It’s using my attempt at reverse-engineering the original DSE (Digital Sound Elements) sound driver by Procyon Studio which is used for the game’s music and sound effects.

It’s using the original SMD/SWD files from the game.
Every event and effect should be properly implemented, but this is largely because I’m still using parts of the original driver code for the parts that were tricky to get a functional decompilation of.

I guess I’m pretty late to the party when it comes to reverse-engineering the DSE driver as most of it seems to be pretty well figured out already, but better late than never I suppose.
At least I have this visualizer thing. Oscilloscope visualizations are nice.
