It's been a while since my last upload, but a lot has happened in the mean time: New hardware has been set up to allow for bigger pipe organ sets and improved audio! Also, I purchased Piotr Grabowski's excellent "Alessandria" sample set --- so, what could be more challenging to inaugurate it and test its symphonic qualities with an orchestra play-along by ear? :-)
"Zanarkand" is probably one of the most iconic pieces from Final Fantasy X and one of the pieces Japanese VGM composer Nobuo Uematsu is well-known for, while the orchestral transcription of the soundtrack was done by Tsutomu Narita. Enjoy my tribute to the WDR (Western German Broadcast Agency) orchestra for their wonderful FF:X concert.
For those who own a 7.1 surround system, an 8-channel FLAC file can be picked up here to get an impression of what it will sound like in my living room:
