Instrument Pack - Chrono Trigger instruments and samples

I had to do it in 7zip format to keep the file size down (it's about 7 megabytes uncompressed).

I ripped the instruments and samples used in each of the CT SPC songs, so each folder is named by it's song, and in each folder are the wav files of the instruments and samples used by the game for those songs. I don't think I missed any songs. If some of the sounds sound a bit off, try playing it back at different frequencies, since that's how the SNES does it, to get different notes and pitches.

Excellent work - how exactly did you go about it? Did you rip the BRR samples or something :P?

It took me all of 10 minutes to do in it's entirety, using a tool called Snessor95, a tool that scans SNES ROMS for audio samples, and outputs them to individual or combined .wav files. I find that it works great on .spc files, the audio dump from SNES emulators. That, and it would let me do it by individual song, which is convenient (wish I had thought of this back when we were still trying to name them for TF).

There is also a DOS version out and about somewhere, it's REALLY OLD, but it has an advantage over this Windows port, it lets you put your own BRR samples in the game, though I have never tried it myself.

-edit-
The DOS version, among other things, can be found here (but not just here, it's the first link I found on Google...).

It should be noted that the final instrument often sounds nothing like the BRR sample, as the sample data is processed and altered prior to playback.
