Here’s my alternate version of Fodlan Winds, which I like to call “Never Fodlan Winds You Up”. Perfect for meme hacks, if I do say so myself.

MIDI | MP3 | .s | looped hi hat | patch

This one requires a little bit of wizardry to get all the bits and bobs working properly, which is detailed below.

Alternatively, you can apply the included patch to an unmodified FE7 ROM, then import song #90 into your game using something like FEBuilder with all the instruments included (this will make it less work for you but will take up more space)

  1. Create a new, pristine instrument map based on NIMAP and store it somewhere
  2. Use your song editor of choice to write the .s file to the game, making sure to use your new NIMAP

Now you need to edit the NIMAP.

  1. Set up the string parts by editing instrument 43 to be the same as instrument 41, but change the ADSR values to 255/239/0/204. Next, edit instrument 51 to be the same as 49, and use the envelope values of 255/252/0/204
  2. Edit instrument 112 to be “white noise” with ADSR values of 0/1/0/11
  3. Edit instrument 114 to be a timpani roll. In FE7, this is at 0x0784A94 with ADSR 255/0/255/204. This instrument might not be in FE8, so you may have to import it from FE7.
  4. Edit instrument 118 to be a low tom. In FE7, I used 0x0A50AB0, but you could easily use a low tom from the 124 drum set, or even a kick drum. Make sure the “Fixed frequency” is not set, so that it behaves like a normal instrument and will change with the pitch.
  5. Edit 119 to be a Reverse Cymbal. In FE7 this is 0x0747220 with 255/0/255/204. In FE8, this should be drum #52 from the 124 drum set. Again, make sure that “fixed frequency” is not set.
  6. This part is a little trickier - you need to insert a custom instrument, which is included in the original post. This is a looped version of the Closed Hi Hat. Insert it at your preferred address, making sure that it loops at 0. Then, edit #35 of the 124 drum to this address, and enable fixed frequency.

Credit to Agro is appreciated; as always, chuck me a like and video sub to show your appreciation (or just troll your friends with the video)
