FF1 - Battle Scene (Song Hack)

Many of Gi Nattak older songs, in addition to the potentially broken echo, accidentally include %k1 on all tracks (D9 01) which makes them all one half-step higher than his source, and so usually inaccurate to the original. The version I sent you I checked against NES, GBA, PSX releases and was correct relative to all; I also shifted the FF6 intro to match this by lowering it one octave and using %k10 to transpose up 10 semitones from there. If you want something different feel free to play around with it but you should probably do it via MML rather than hex editing as it affects multiple tracks and that's very slippery with hex. MML tools are here.

e.g. add %k1 after each {1}, {2}, {3} etc, and search and replace all %k10 to %k11 and %k0 to %k1, to return to incorrect pitch of unmodified version. To return FF6 intro to original pitch change all %k10 to %k12 (or delete all %k## and update octave, if you prefer, but this is easier). etc.

Ahhh, the D9 01 command is exactly it, you are right!  I understand what you are talking about now with the accuracy of the original games (I'm a huge fan of FF1). For some reason though, I kind of like the slightly sped up version on FF3; it sounds fresh in a way.

By the way, when you say it "affects multiple tracks", do you mean to say that certain commands can carry over from one music track to another?  I thought whatever I edit in the one song was specific to that one song?

Edit #2: I guess you are talking about if I try to add bytes or remove bytes in Hex, which would then start to overlap/conflict with other songs (as opposed to commands carrying over). At least I think that must be what you are talking about! You have to forgive me, as I am literally learning all this stuff from scratch. I've spent a lot of time in recent days combing over tutorials, but it's a lot to take in all at once!
