Kojima lied to me

That synthesizer does not have pan positions.

I worked with a later synthesizer that could take MIDI pan positions, but they only worked for the front half of the Dolby Surround space. I had to use two synthesizers and my own encoder design on one of them to get full surround.

When I say midi, it's not really midi, but a custom format. Synthesized music on consoles had pan positions.

I know, what I'm saying is that due to the space limit most games didn't store sound as audio, but rather 'midi' files for the hardware to synthesize on the fly.

There were a few that used mp3 (Conker's Bad Fur Day off the top of my head), but as you've said, heavily compressed, even when using the expansion pack.

There isn't any video game soundtrack in 5.1 surround sound as a release either. The closest thing we have is the occasional concert Blu-ray from Square Enix.

Maybe this one qualifies.

Well ...not bad actually . Electronica type music fwiw.

Amon Tobin does other electro-type recordings , but I think this is his only surround DVD-A. I could be Mistaken..... but I think This disc may be exclusive to Canada , at least according to the liner notes .
