[Update v2] Big thanks to @Linkenfant who spotted a mistake in the drum track! Sorry for the re-upload but I couldn't leave it like that! Old version still available here: • Agatio and Karst Battl... (unlisted video)

The drum track on that one is crucial to the overall mood of the song so I spent extra time adjusting the mixing for the drum kit. Like previous GS2 videos, I'm using a custom/restored GS2 drum kit.
~~ Details about the restoration process ~~
Tools used: GBA Mus Riper (midi and samples extraction), agbplay (synth restoration) and Reaper.
Hardware: Roland SC-88 Pro, Roland JV-1080, expansion card SR-JV80-05 World, and Alesis DM5.
Midi files: the sequences are extracted directly from the game but need to be heavily modified in order to play them on the physical modules.
Sounds: most samples have been identified over the years, but some sounds come from my own research.
Synths: in Golden Sun, synths are specific to the internal audio engine, they are completely separate from the other instruments. ipatix managed to reverse-engineer those synths and made the code available on github. I'm using his tool, agbplay, to export them from the game in high quality (at a higher sample rate than what the GBA is capable of)
Drums: Golden Sun 1 uses samples from the SC-88 but on Golden Sun 2, Motoi Sakuraba changed all the samples. While some of them have been identified and come from the Alesis DM5, most samples still haven't been found to this day. I've extracted the samples from the game, denoised, re-panned and cleaned them.
~~ Thanks ~~
Mega thanks to Bregalad (GBA Mus Ripper) and ipatix (agbplay). I would never have been able to do those versions without their incredible work.
Massive thanks to the VGM Instrument Sources community, and especially FreeJusticeHere for his invaluable advice and help!
Special thanks to Coaltergeist and Cyanne for inspiring me!
Original song composed by Motoi Sakuraba. #GoldenSun #RestoredOST
I love this track. All the downward glissandos/detuning give it this sense of dread and “it didn’t have to come to this.” Almost in a trombone slide “womp womp” way. Makes perfect sense as your “allies” turn on you and try to get the drop on you when you’re not at full strength but they’re too stupid to realize Jenna and Sheba are a short walk away.
Wow! So it wasn’t only me for intro drums, I didn’t expect you to do an actual re-upload but it sounds perfect now! ❤
Yes you were right! Thanks again for spotting my little mistake! :)
@@JusteDni You’re welcome! :)
Listening to this the first time made even me vengeful ⚔️
Although they weren't quite as compelling as Satorus and Menardi in many people's opinion, I personally like that Agatio and Karst were in it mainly for vengeance. They were a brutal duo and I really wished there were more run-ins with them after Jupiter Lighthouse.
Oh, if only we could get this quality from the actual game...
Was there something off with the original version you uploaded or does "updated" mean something else?
Yes! There was a little mistake in the drum track (a cymbal that wasn't supposed to be there, and repeated in each loop). It was bothering me! Sorry about that! :D
