  • You remember the PlayStation 2 startup sound, right?
    Maybe you grew up with a PS2, like me. Maybe you know it from all the memes. But you might not know who made it, and you definitely don’t know the whole story. This video is a trip back in time, where we try to solve the 20 year old mystery of how the Playstation 1 & 2 start up sounds were made.

    Glad you found out his name in kanji characters. In Japan, hearing someone's name means almost nothing for knowing how to spell it. It's just not an intuitive one-to-one system like English names. This is why business cards there are extremely common over there--you wouldn't know how their name is spelled otherwise. This is even a plot point in Death Note.

      "one-to-one system like English". Lmao, where on earth are English names one to one with how they sound? English-speaking people literally have to spell their names out loud in order to write them down, because English names often sound nothing like how they are written. There's literally a whole wiki article called "List of irregularly spelled English names" lmao, yeah, so much for the "one to one system". Try German or Russian instead (and even then it's not perfect)

      Thanks so much for this!!!!!! I dug a bit deeper from your findings!! I found that the ps2 pad sound under 1keyrush is just a pad sample with a crowd sound effect layered. (dreampd_3_Bm7 + Crowd_2_SW) The orbit itself has tons of unique filters, almost like an Alesis ion/micron. These two samples are mapped across the keyboard and then filtered. If you look at the manual, I'm sure you can find which filter is responsible for the filtering. I mistakenly though it was a phaser responsible for emphasizing the harmonics. Just recently, I was finding game ost rips for the Nier Automata sound track and found a track that with a very very tonally similar pad sound to the PS2/Orbit pad on the track "Tower." I tried recreating this with a phaser and its very similar, but in the PS2/Orbits case, its actually just some really neat filtering going on - essentially the same thing as a phaser, only more distinct I'd argue. Thanks so much for this comment and obviously to the creator for making this. - guy who makes music and played PS2 when he was a kid

      Having watched your fallout classic music analysis, I think you should really check out the original soundtrack from the movie "Falling Down" (1993). I think Mark Morgan had to have taken inspiration from this classic, some tracks are so similar in style and theme it can't be denied at least some contemplation! The movie is also set in California, similar era as when Fallout was made.

    An excellent and thorough investigation into the history of the PS1 startup sound, great work! I didn’t know that the composer created his own samples on a Roland S-550. And thanks for mentioning my video - after playing the Roland D-05, I noticed a similar sound quality to the PS1. That’s why I was inspired to recreate it (I know it’s not 1:1, but it’s a similar effect I think).

    I still remember hearing both the PS1 and PS2 startup sounds...Personally, the PS1 one gives me shivers, while the PS2 sounds peaceful and soothing.
    Also, getting in contact with the sound producer behind the startups is like what another youtube documentary person got in contact with Yukio Futatsugi, the man behind Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust...it's wild to think Simon and another person got in contact with what is considered two of the most famous video game individuals from the 1990s and early 2000s...But dang, that is awesome to get in contact with someone that still remembers how they setup the BIOS boot up sounds in the first place. It's probably why I love the PS1 bootup as it's an eargasm for me every time I think about it, and the PS2 one is also the same, although more soothing in nature compared to the startling startup that is the PS1. But still, it's probably why I prefer the PS1 and PS2 over the later incarnations of the Playstation bootup screens, PS3 is a close second, but PS4 and PS5 don't come close to the first two Playstation consoles from 1994 and 2000...

It's fascinating how distinct sounds can evoke such strong emotions and nostalgia. I completely get what you mean about the PS1 sound, it really was groundbreaking at the time.
      I also agree that the newer PlayStation startup sounds don't quite capture the magic of the early consoles. There's something about the innovation of the PS1 and PS2 era that's hard to replicate.

      @@SimonZinzovski As always Simon. It was interesting to know who made it in the first place for the first two bootups, and while the PS1 is iconic,t he PS2 really took on a whole new life and dove into the astra space of darkness and soft illuminated blue lights. PS3 was more becoming mainstream or elegant, while the PS4 and PS5 are more in the realms of soft guitar & orchestra ambiance (which I don't mind, but at the same time they're not as memorable or nostalgic as the first three Playstation consoles were).
      To be honest, it's the look of the consoles, plus the graphics and the limitations of the hardware, and yet was able to pull off the DVD quality, CD playback, Video Games, and also, 100% fully backwards compatibility with PS1 video games, which to be honest, for a PS2 machine like that compared to the backwards compatible PS3s when it was launched, not to mention the massive amount of PS2s sold in the world, no console has yet to overcome nor take its spot because of its impact on culture, including the Y2K movement and the utopian predictions of how the future could be bright and nice, compared to what we actually got in return.

At first, it may seem, like who the hell bothers knowing what's behind these amazing startup themes, but actually many of us do like to know more about it, and you do present us with a backstory of those themes. Amazing. Honestly, I think that these theme songs are just masterpieces. I've spent my childhood and early adulthood playing both consoles, I love both of them very much, they are close to my heart. However, it's something about that ps1 theme, man. It's just.. I don't know... Even back in my childhood days, when we were all about gaming, impatiently waiting for that ps logo to come up and actually start playing games, I was amazed with the that theme song from day one when I got the console.Today these sounds just bring up fond memories. I am currently have PS5. It's bloody amazing console, and it's just astonishes me how the technology has developed over the years.
