• Thanks for comments!
  
  Have added some info here, since it went out in a hurry without a .nfo explaining what it really is about and it could do with something. Release first, procrastinate afterwards! :)
  
  
  Gradius was the original name of the arcade machine in Japan, it was called Nemesis when released in other countries. The arcade versions predate MSX and all other platforms and is the source of the name here - and many platforms saw conversions. But not Atari ST!
  
  The 'YM' prefix refers to YM2149 of the Atari ST (not the Yamaha MSX variant and the Konami Sound Cartridge / SCC - although it does make things confusing).
  
  I believe most of these tracks were made into YM2149 versions until now since ST conversions were never made, although I'd still be interested to know if any were!
  
  [one known exception - the Amstrad CPC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvbxey_OBJQ]
  
  Some of the included tracks do originate from the MSX versions - two soundtracks are covered, but most tracks are based on the arcade series (Gradius, Salamander/LifeForce, Vulcan Venture etc..). It broadly covers the series across time.
  
  Context/background:
  
  The YM2149 68k player made for this is different from most others in several respects - it uses highlevel note events which can be sparsely mapped or remapped at playback time - not predetermined channel or instrument mappings. This means the same trackdata can be replayed with sample banks (e.g. for titles/intros) with varying numbers of physical channels and/or can be realtime mixed with SFX without reserving channels. The real 'challenge' here was getting replay to work with highlevel realtime events while still sounding like it was made directly for the YM.
  
  The rationale for the player is a flexible music/sfx pipeline for game prototyping on Atari ST/e. This is a sample of its use, made into a small demo of its own using recognizable tracks.
  
  There - wall of text complete.
