Barry Leitch was one of the main composers at Ocean. He has also worked for Catalyst Coders, Imagitec, Origin, Boss Games, Atari Games, and Fisher Price. He has composed music for all kinds of game consoles like NES, SNES, C64 and DOS. He now works as a Freelance composer. His first composition was I.C.U.P.S. for the C64 and it was written when he was only 15 years old.
Music Composition
AMI
Barry used OctaMED and Noisetracker.
N64
Barry used Fasttracker II.
NES
Barry composed the songs on MODTracker for the Commodore Amiga. Then, he would rewrite the music in MS-DOS using a driver created by an unknown programmer.
SNES
Barry used MEDIT. The program was coded by Leslie Long and was meant to resemble OctaMED, the tracker that Ocean Software used for their Commodore Amiga music. MEDIT was also used for MS-DOS games as well.
During the development of Top Gear, Barry was given instrument samples from Kemco, which were probably Korg M1 instrument samples. According to composer Hiroyuki Masuno, samples were given to Kemco by Sony, the creators of the sound chip of the SNES (SPC700).
