Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake - Intro

Traditionally, MSX composers use their MSX to create MSX sounds. Later on, some or all of those people move on to more powerful hardware; physical synths and/or software. These are then used to create covers in a wide range of styles, from new age to symphonic - who will be the first one to base his MSX remake on dub-step wobbles? Then, there are composers who use their PC to create MSX music. It's cross development, or perhaps cross composing would be a better term, Vortex Tracker is probably the most used cross method to create PSG music.

And then there's Meits who uses the cross composing method, but then the other way around. Using a modified private version of MBWave, he uses this classic MSX tracker to control his hardware synths (JV1080 and XV5050, both from Roland). Simply said: he tracks his music in MBWave, and all the signals go to his synthesizers through the MIDI from the Music Module.

There are several Solid Snake intros in our freeware download database already. It's one of those musical Konami evergreens in the popular Metal Gear franchise. And as Meits was pointing out on IRC, this afternoon: "if you remake the Solid Snake intro, only then are you really part of the gang." So, that was to be his mission of his spare Saturday. Welcome to the gang!
