This is driving me nuts, I was listening to some music and I heard this synthesizer sound in the song that I'm remembering was also used in a game probably a PS1 era game or 3D shmup more likely. I thought it was from Einhander but I had a quick listen to the soundtrack and couldn't find it.
I could be way off and maybe it just appeared in a PS1 era game that wasn't a shmup but thought I'd give it a try. Sorry these sorts of things kill me and I thought it might be worth a shot asking about it here.

(timestamp 2:08 its the bwaaaa sound)
Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Not recognizing it but G-Darius maybe?
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Don't know if it's an exact match but G Darius does use a lot of those spacey kind of synth sounds.

I went through the G Darius soundtrack a couple times just skipping around through the tracks and couldn't find a match. It gets pretty eccentric and I feel like the game I heard this from had a more laid back sound to it.

R-type delta intro?

After listening to that it sounds very similar I'm impressed you could find something like that, thanks for looking into it. Its not the same sound as whats used in the song though. I'm thinking its a stock sound on a synthesizer. I might try asking on a music production forum to see if anyone recognizes what equipment was used.
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Sounds like something you would hear in a puzzle game instead of a shmup.
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Not exact, tonally, but I instantly started thinking of something, something, something warping into the battlefield menacingly. Turns out I was recalling Rayforce's second boss. As I say though, it's a much sharper, harsher sound overall. Cheers for the mental stimulation.

Sounds similar to a weird sfx from the gradius iii iv intro.
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Yamaha SY77/TG77 & SY99 have it.
Re: Does anyone know what game this sound is from?
Damn those synths have great sci-fi sounds. I'm hearing all sorts of games and movies in the presets. I didn't hear the specific sound in the song though. Maybe I'm just missing it though in the youtube videos I found.Yamaha SY77/TG77 & SY99 have it.
