Over in the Fire Emblem hacking community, a hacker named Blazer created a patch that added all 127 MIDI instruments to FE7, gathered together in a 'universal' voicegroup. My thought? Why couldn't we have that?
With permission from Blazer, I have adapted the patch for Pokemon FireRed. I have combined it with drums from GoGo's brilliant HGSS Music Patch, to create a 'universal' voicegroup for FireRed. This voicegroup includes every single instrument, which, aside from the drums, correspond with normal MIDI/Sappy instrument numbers. The instruments are high-quality too. A song I tested sounded almost exactly like the original MIDI in-game when I assembled it using the voicegroup.
The Gunshot and Applause instruments were replaced in the voicegroup with two drumsets from the HGSS Music Patch. They are instruments 127 and 126 respectively. 127 corresponds to the 'normal' drum kit. I'm not quite sure what 126 is, but it fills the role of the D#5 note in drum tracks, and is therefore included for completion sake.
To use this patch is simple: Assemble your song in the voicegroup. For FireRed and Ruby, the voicegroup offset is 0xB30C5C. For Emerald, the voicegroup offset is 0x1130C5C.
The Read Me includes much of this information, along with the offsets for the Gunshot and Applause instruments, which remain in the patch.
The FireRed and Ruby patches are IPS patches, and are compatible with GoGo's HGSS Music Patch. The Emerald patch, however, is a UPS patch. It will expand your ROM if it's not already, and it is NOT compatible with the HGSS Music Patch.
The FireRed patch is compatible with JPAN's Hacked Engine, and MrDollSteak's Decap and Attack Rombase.
I hope everyone enjoys this! I would appreciate any feedback, comments, etc.
Special Thanks
