Castlevania on Synths - Plant Castle Theme (Ripe Seeds)

July 19, 2019  /  Gil Assayas

For my next video in my “Gameboy games I grew up on” series, I decided to cover one of my all time favorites: the Plant Castle theme from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (released on in 1991 by Konami).

All sounds performed live simultaneously on Sequential Prophet XL, Prophet 6, Studio Electronics Boomstar 4075 and Arcadia custom controller. Pedals used are Chase Bliss Audio Thermae, Cooper FX Generation Loss, Red Panda Tensor. Drum samples are from NI Battery 4. I use a delay on the hi-hat samples and Polyverse Gatekeeper on the bass sound for the rhythmic effects.

Hope you enjoy!
