I was listening to the (IMO fantastic) Advance Wars II soundtrack for GBA and what struck me is how organic it all sounds. I know the GBA has 4 sound channels (2 pulse, on sample/wave, 1 noise), but it seems like almost all of the tracks use multiple samples at the same time. This led me to conclude that the entire soundtrack was composed "out of the box" and then imported as samples. Can anyone confirm, or explain what is going on?

Thanks!
