Simple, many of you have tried Mega Man-styled originals, so here you go for another try. CASTLEVANIA 1/3J.

Nail the style yourself. Note that 2A03 entries must be CV1-styled and DPCM is banned; VRC6 entries must be CV3J-styled and triangle is banned.

All percussion is limited to use this pack:
CV1_Hat.fti: C-#
CV1_Snare.fti: 9-#
CV3J_Closed_Hat.fti: A-#
CV3J_Open_Hat.fti: D-#
CV3J_Snare.fti: 1-#
CV3J_D000.dmc: Pitch 8
CV3J_D040.dmc: Pitch 15
CV3J_D240.dmc: Pitch 12, 13, 14, 15

It is not necessary to completely redo the envelopes from the original game, but those who did will receive bonus points.

I haven't actually heard much castlevania music, but it's tempting to listen to some and try to create a little track... I'll check it out and see how it works out ^_^

Why not? Mind you, I also haven't heard much of Castlevania's music.

It sounds like a very reasonable contest. Can I have your permission to add a first-place prize for this, or are you not setting any due date, nicetas_c?

I don't know much difference between MM music and CV music style, except that MM music is more epical.

Mega Man music has more of a rock style, whereas Castlevania's music is more melancholy (considering that it's a horror game).

However, judging by some of the covers & a couple of YouTube videos, the composition style's very similar (if it weren't for the VRC6 expansion chip & samples/triangle wave limitations).

It is really difficult to describe the composing style of most games in words, so the soundtrack itself is the best example.

However, instrumentation is extremely important in all Konami music, along with Sunsoft.

The Castlevania soundtrack makes great use of A08s, actually.
