Hey pro's !

I've been trying to emulate that train rail tick from the intro to the phantom train theme in FF6.
I've played around with all the percussion hits, and a little bit of reverb in the EFM soundfont synth, but can't get it right.
Naturally, I want to be as authentic as possible, anyone have a quick trick to pull it off right ?

Not sure if this helps as I've never used any soundfont synths but this is more or less what's going on:

That's exactly what I wanted to see. Its the second percussion hit I was missing.

if you want to be as close to possible to something someone else has already done why don't you just sample it and call it a day

You're my hero just for wanting to do that. Been wanting to do a song based on the phantom train for awhile.

Me thinks you just right-click the executable and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility" or "Properties>Compatibility(tab)"
