Metroid Prime OST Synth Patches discovered
Electronic producer SynaMax has uncovered a number of EMU Proteus 2000 and Korg MS2000 patches used by musician Kenji Kamamoto in the Metroid Prime Trilogy soundtracks:
Here’s a list of the EMU Proteus 2000 patches that I’ve found so far in Metroid Prime. There’s a few more known patches that are used, but I’ll include them in a future video. There’s also a bunch of sounds that are still unidentified so if you can figure out a patch or sample, please let me know.
Since this first video, he has posted three follow-up videos tracking down more patches, and even recreated several tracks using these patches.
The Metroid Prime trilogy represent some of my favourite games1, they have such a distint style, both visually and aurally.
It’s fascinating to get a behind–the–scenes look at the origin of some of the iconic beats and melodies, produced some 17 years ago.
