#QSound
Test menu same as Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Gulun.Pa! has no QSound but still has test menu item. No other similarities.

SF2 C.E. and Captain Commando use sound driver 4.25, so date of Gulun.Pa! makes sense.

Startup code is same as Punisher & Slammasters.

Not sure a ROM hack could match this mismash

Alpha 3's OST is some absolutely insane shit when you listen to it on some headphones, you can tell that qsound really came through with this one.

Pink Floyd「Is There Anybody Out There?」もQSoundだった。それより、なぜかストリーミングからは一番に消えてるけれど。

The Beatlesのように「Super Deluxe Edition」などもすぐに消えますね。

Pink Floyd「Pulse」、Roger Waters「Amused to Death」、Sting「The Soul Cages」などもQSoundを導入。

Pink Floyd・Roger Watersは他作でもホロフォニクスを初期から採用していたりと、立体音響大好きなんだな。

音楽業界で大規模かつ最初に(1990年)QSoundを導入したMadonna「The Immaculate Collection」を試聴。なかなか興味深かった。

既存のヒット曲をQSound用に一からミックスし直して収録している。ホロフォニクスやバイノーラルと違ったアプローチの最高な成功例と言える"Vogue"は多くの人に聴いてほしいところ。初期の作品群をうまくリニューアルしている。

ただしスピーカーは厳密なセッティングが必要になる、というかたぶんもう誰も知らないので、オススメのリスニング環境はイヤホン一択。

立体音響モノ、いろいろ探してみると懐かしくて和んだ。
QSound、Pink Floydの「Pulse」はコレですよ、コレ。

i deluded myself into thinking The Punisher (arcade) had a qsound jingle and went on a crazy goose chase for nothing

I don’t like Sheps Edits on Immaculate Collection. What happened to QSound anyway? lol

I got Pink Floy's Pulse on CD and looked at the credits. What do you mean it was mixed using QSound? Like. THAT QSound.
Why does a Pink Floyd live album share DNA with fucking Marvel vs Capcom???

the Virtual Audio QSound boot screen from EX2+ has been my phone alarm jingle for ~5 years

Hope we get to see it run at Combo Breaker or something similar again someday

カスタム140をはじめとするナムコPCMチップものの音楽の評価が高いのはサウンドドライバと打ち込み技術によるところが大きいよね
x.com/akogiyaa/sta...

細江さん佐宗さんが語るにストリートファイターEX2を開発するにあたってカプコン製QSoundドライバは使わずナムコで使っていたような仕様のドライバを新規開発してテキストエディタで打ち込んでいたとか
他のQSoundものと比べて段違いの出来だったんだけど、結局plusとTGMの3本しか使われなかったのがもったいない
あこぎ屋 on X: "ゲーム音楽で「もうなんでもアリだな」と感じたのは、CD-ROMじゃなくてナムコシステムⅡだったと思う。それまではどこか、発音数が少なかったり音色選択が不自由だったりサンプルレートが低かったりしてたところが、一気に全部なくなってた。" / X

Day three with the QSound jingle stuck in my head

It's that classic Capcom QSound chiptune soundtrack. Those character stage themes are so iconic you can play them 30 years later and I can clock them in seconds.

"I learned about ASMR from [Insert ASMR channel here]!"
"I learned about ASMR from LADS's Secret Times!"

None of you got a virtual bag put over your head in the Virtual Barbershop made in 1996 by QSound and posted in 2007 on YouTube

and it shooooooooooooows.

Was Super Street Fighter 2 even the first game they used QSound on, I wonder

They were definitely on top of things when it came to Darkstalkers, Cyberbots, X-Men etc.

You: Please act normal; you need these people to like you.

Me: Ok!

People: hi.

Me: OK, so there was this early immersive audio feature in the early ‘90s called QSound that was briefly popular, and it was used on albums like Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection and Paula Abdul’s Spellbound
You: Please act normal; you need these people to like you.

Me: Ok!

People: hi.

Me: You heard of these things called graphic novels?? They’re like comic books that are the length of novels, and employ compositional storytelling to—here, I’ll just start you off with these 20 first, you got a pen?
You: Please act normal; you need these people to like you.

Me: Ok!

People: hi.

Me: So Bionicle is a metaphor for cancer. One LEGO designer, while being treated for a brain tumor, imagined the pills he was taking contained tiny warriors that would battle the monsters inside his body...

Didn't think it sounded like a Ql, so checked & it uses the QSound expansion that had an AY-3-9810 which would explain it. Nice demo of what you can do without colour clash though.
