It's been about 15 years since I last played a 'Mega Man Star Force' game. Recently, I discovered the game mod, 'Mega Man Star Force DX', which is a quality of life improvement of the original Mega Man Star Force: Pegasus, and it's been a blast playing it in Legend Mode and recording my playthrough for YouTube. I got a fresh perspective on the music and was inspired to tackle songs that I would never have attempted in 2012 (which was when I had originally tried to arrange the 'Vs. Andromeda' theme) because I legitimately wasn't smart enough to transcribe them.
This arranges the Cygnus Wing ('Rocket Shooter') and Libra Scales ('Now Study!') stage themes; the former stage had me shooting rockets at swans (who outed themselves as self-proclaimed ducks), and the latter stage put me through general knowledge quizzing speed rounds against flying paper with eyes.
My workflow for this was very different and a lot more experimental than usual; normally I would write from left to right, but that can become too simple. This time I deliberately just fully-expanded ideas that were floating around, and I stashed them to the side within the project files, constantly seeing if any of them would be used. I definitely rearranged sections within this ReMix more than a few times, and sometimes that's the beauty of digital production---nothing is set in stone.
Unfortunately, 66% of these ideas weren't used in the finished ReMix, but they won't go unnoticed:
- a drum solo with some triplet and quintuplet rhythms on top of the parallel 4ths from the Libra Scales stage theme
- a verse with the Cygnus Wing stage theme in a minor key
Some other notable features of the finished version:
- The 0:46 - 1:08 section was something original to connect the Cygnus Wing motif to the climax of the Libra Scales stage.
- The bass used at 0:46 - 1:08, 1:30 - 2:05, etc. was an old preset ('Ultra Bass') from zircon's 'Zebra Tetralogy' library, but updated using the LPTN6SVF filter in a newer version of Zebra2, which had a really wild overdrive response. I processed it further with hard-clipping using kiloHearts Distortion, and put on uh, a FEW compressors to tame it...
- The 3:24 background harmonizing lead was a reference to a similar aspect in the song 'Identity Sequence'---and is actually the same sound. Also, there was reharmonization at 3:28 - 3:36 that I thought was pretty cool.
With that, I hope you guys enjoy some Star Force music, and I'll leave you with my favorite quote from the first game: 'Relationships are the essence of society.'
