Runescape music

Featured Replies

So how exactly does Jagex make the music that plays on Runescape? I really doubt they actually hire an orchestra to play it. Is it made through a computer program? It's always confused me.

 

 

 

Discusss :)

Me doing staff.

It's just a blend of synthesized sounds, as simple as that.

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure I've played some other games run on java that has music similar to Runescape. (Mystery of Time and Space is the one that pops off the top of my head) If you listen carefully, you can hear some of the sound effects Runescape uses in its music.

Yes, it is made with computers. It's in MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

 

 

 

You can read about it here.

 

 

 

Surprisingly, there's only one member of Jagex staff who creates ALL the sounds... and he does a good job.

  • Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.
  • Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler.

Do you really mean ALL sounds? Even monster growls and shrieks? Even skill/item sounds?

Off Topic - I think only one person manages the sound effects, I think Jagex should employ more people lol.

Yes, MIDI can be quite a powerful tool.
