Topic: (Request) The best NES Soundfont Castlevania remixes available

That would take an extreme amount of skill!  I don't think I can commit to NEStificating Judgment's music.  Hell, I still have problems with Rondo of Blood and can 'barely' do the simpler Symphony of the Night tunes.

Never said do it. I understand how long that would take, considering how indepth the game's music is. Just pointing out how interesting it would be to hear. (:

I did, however, hear a piano arrangement of it and it was amazing.

I'd like to hear the nes-ified Vampire Killer you have before asking you to do anything new. The less work you have to do the better & faster things can get done. That's why I'm using exclusively recycled and edited tiles for my game. I could take months of extra work to scratch everything.

 Vampire Killer - Castlevania - DOWNMIX by Jorge D. Fuentes
Well alright... here ya go.

[Claimh Solais]

I actually quite like that one. It sounds more interesting than the original.

[Inccubus]

Indeed! It sounds very different! I like it! Here, just compare it!
It's close but different, the only thing I'd do IF you wanted to sound even more like the original hardware is boost up the volume on the Triangle wave and noise channels. But even with that it still has a distinct sound of it's own that I'm just loving!

Castlevania- Vampire Killer

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Nah, I don't want to sound like the original hardware, not exactly.
I want to sound different, or sound as if I had multiple 'hardware' to work with.

I don't want to limit myself, but I enjoy the retro sound.

That's why I put a disclaimer at the very beginning; because the last thing I intend is to sound 'exactly accurate' to the old stuff.  For that, I'd use MML or Famitracker or something.

There's something about your mixes that make them sound more... dark feeling and fitting to the Castlevania atmosphere.

And Clockwork Mansion is easily one of my favorite songs from CV4. Nice job. (:

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

They're definitely not the norm.
Oh, here's Stalker from CV1.

Sweet! That's awesome, Jorge! These are just so damn perfect for my needs! If you were a chick I'd marry you!

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Thanks!
I think your type of game (a hybrid of old and new) matches this type of music as well.
It's too bad I don't have all the music you're asking for. xD
I'll slowly trickle it in this thread if that's OK.

[Inccubus]

Please do so at your leisure. I appreciate the help a lot. Music is always a problem for me because I lack the skills to do it myself and help is quite hard to come by in this particular department.

[Chernabogue]

I should try too. I have some nice chiptune VSTs I rarely use.

Whoa...this downmix sounds even better than the one Konami made for CotM! You certainly do amazing work Jorge!

[HeliosCentaur]

B-but I just put up the Library music from CV4...

Sorry, I thought you said your arrangements had too many channels for the NES, but I'm happy with what I can find  I see know, from other posts, that your intention is not to create the tracks exactly like the NES limitations, but with your own interpretation.
