I admit it´s like 5 years ago that I played it and I don´t remember much of it. But things like that I wouldn´t have noticed anyway.
I watched Schindlers List for the first time in the undubbed original version a while ago and must say that the german dubbed version is a lot better. Ralph Finnes is dubbed with a scary sounding austrian voice (yes under certain circumstances austrian can sound really scary) which fits as the guy he plays was an austrian but in the original version he himself just does Petter Sellers doing Dr. Strangelove with was unintentionally funny.
There are also combined waveforms square+triangle, triangle+noise, … since each waveform has its own bit ( not all combinations work on all revisions of the SID).
The square wave has a pulse width attribute, which changes the sound from full to thin.
Each of the 3 voices can have any of those waveforms (the soundchip of the NES for example had 5 channels, but with fixed waveforms (2 pulse wave, one triangle wave, one noise and one DPCM (sample) channel))
Because of 3. it’s also possible to create wavetables to generate more complex waveforms/instruments.
It’s also possible to link two voices via ring modulator giving additional sound possibilities.
There is a filter (low, band, high pass or notch filter)
Just for fun, here’s music from swan lake the complete loom soundtrack, you’re welcome
When I first listened to it “apart” from the game, it felt kinda strange, especially considering the different context of the ballet’s story.
Is it possible to purchase the official soundtrack of “The Secret of Monkey Island” (either the original PC one or the remastered version)?
There are a lot of sites from which you can download it but I would like to understand if it has been published in an official way and if you can buy it.
Not as an official soundtrack. But the VGA-CD version of “The Secret of Monkey Island” could be used as a music CD: Each music track you hear in the game is on the CD as a single track. So if you ignore the (first) data track, you have a soundtrack CD of Monkey Island.
Some of the Monkey Island tracks were on the official “The Best Of LucasArts Original Soundtracks”. (Hint: search for it on YouTube.) But AFIAR the songs were from Monkey Island 3 and 4.
The Amiga version of the Monkey Island theme was part of “Power Game Hits” (sold in germany).
