Hi everyone, SoulRed12 here, Chrono X's musician. I just wanted to post to tell everyone that we are having a particularly important poll this week concerning the game's music. YOU can help us discover what the fans want by voting.
If you've played the third demo, you've heard the original style of music used with Chrono X. It uses much higher quality instruments, synths etc. as it was made on a computer using software intended for actual music production. But, a lot of people have been continually commenting on the music to say, "it's not enough like the GBA version."
Now, as people ought to know, I can't perfectly recreate the Battle Network GBA sounds exactly for 2 reasons: 1) I don't even have a GBA soundfont (whereas the battle network musicians used GBA-software in an entire studio dedicated to GBA music), and 2) even if I did, it still wouldn't sound exactly the same as the GBA lets you choose your own sound wave for the wave channel (the third one), and includes capabilities for storing and playing two sets of samples, which is used for things like the orchestral hits and some of the sampled drums you hear in the original music.
Nevertheless, I decided to have a little test. I recreated the GBA sounds to the best of my ability, and used them to re-voice the original boss theme. You can listen to each version here:

So please listen to each version, and then vote at
our website to help your preferred version win.
Also, please leave a comment somewhere telling what you like/didn't like about each version. It helps me know just what fans are thinking. The comments can be wherever you like (here, on the youtube vids, on the website, the poll, etc.) but you have to vote in the poll for your voice to be heard in the final tally.
Thanks for reading!
