I looked at your notes regarding Pitch in OrgMaker (very interesting stuff)
Have you ever done any testing with the wavedata from Doukoutsu.exe, since it's different from the OrgMaker one?
(Org View, OrgMaker 1, and Cave Story+ all use the same Wavedata as Doukutsu.exe)
I compared them in Audacity, and aside from some minor, but noticeable differences in the waves, they mostly seem to differ in volume
Sorry if my notes were unclear. I wasn't trying to say that at all. In my sheet, where I have a1* and a5*, the * note represents the transition between the a1 and the a5: "These two are different". All the other note marks in my sheet work the same way, they mark the two items before and after the change the note is talking about.
> Now I saw a lot of instrument differences between OM2 J and E, so I believe they're named differently? (OM2 J TOM03 = OM2 E TOM01?) I believe that's something you fixed in the translation process, as OM1 TOM01 = OM2 E TOM01)
Correct. I didn't describe this in the sheet and assumed the reader would already be familiar with it. This situation is always challenging to explain in words. Here are some previous documents and posts where I explain this:
1. In org210x.zip, open drums.htm, then go to the bottom section that says "More information".
2. "I'm talking about the sound swaps Bass01/Bass04, Snare01/Snare03, Tom01/Tom03, HiClose/HiClose02, and HiOpen/HiOpen02.": http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/orgmaker-2-1-0-english-translation-in-progress.5584/#post-186967
3. "some of the sounds (the actual waves that define the sound) are switched to different names.": http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/orgmaker-2-1-0-english-translation-in-progress.5584/page-2#post-209675
> WAVE100 from OM2 (2.05) J/E are slightly different, so that might be Xaser's "fault"
From what I remember, Xaser only rearranged the drum resources in OrgMaker 2.0.5 Japanese so the Cave Story drum sounds once again matched their names OrgMaker 1, undoing the sound swaps that Rxo Inverse introduced as described above. Besides this re-arrangement, from what I remember, the resources in OrgMaker 2.0.5 English (Xaser or Bavi_H) are the same as OrgMaker 2.0.5 Japanese, so I guess it was Rxo Inverse who made the slight changes to the wavedata from OrgMaker 1. (On the other hand, maybe Rxo had access to an internal unreleased OrgMaker from Pixel that was in the process of being updated, and it was Pixel who made the wavedata changes? We just know OrgMaker 1 and 2 have slightly different wavedata.)
