Sonic Starlight Zone — Directionless Mix

Star Wars

Sonic — Green Hill Zone

Composed by team Alph Lyla:  Yasuaki Fujita, Mari Yamaguchi, Minae Fuji, and Yoko Shimomura

Breath of Fire — Battle Theme

This one was made outside the studio and apart from the usual gear and DAW.

It used the old gear seen in the pic and Ableton Live. 3 tracks of arrangement provided by midi sequence, played with Korg Polysix, Predator, and Sylenth1 vsts. The beats are Ableton 707 kit. Then I played a top line over it with the Akai SGv01.

The old stack of gear is an 80's TOA Electronic Music Mixer D-4, Symetrix 488 compressor, and an 80's consumer model BBE 2002R, AKA the precursor to the debatable 'Sonic Maximizer.'
