This may not be the right place to ask, but if someone's into music and midis, please read.....please correct em If I'm wrong at something
All cartridge-based systems uses midi to create music - right? Like Genesis, SNES and even N64 (then a powerful soundcard!)
Which means there is a soundcard inside the system, just like a soundcard as in our computers.
Now, this means there is a set of voices in the soundcard - like the
SoundBlaster PCI 128. Right?
Then there is several instruments - in several variations, for example 4 versions of a drum pattern, bass etc. ....?
Which means: the music in for example level 1 in mario 64 or conker's bad fur day is set up like this:
channel 1 - grand piano 2
channel 2 - slap bass 1
...
channel 7 - rock drum
....
and so on. as many channels as you like. The cartdrige comes with a set of midis, which only consists of notes...and the N64 soundcard can be ripped and put into my keyboard?????
OR AM I FAKE -THE SYSTEM HAS A SYNTH WHICH PROGRAMMS THE SOUNDS - in X variations . I've never played two games which uses the same instruments (that's just me).
If so, each game has its own instruments - programmed with its own reverbs, DSP effects, digital effects, and many sytnh functions which can make X sounds out of one sound.
sorry bad explanations (that's just me :blush: )
