Vagrant Story: Strings missing (multiple instrument set support for AKAO PS1)
It seems ripped sound banks from almost all Vagrant Story music files lack strings, aside from "The Catacombs" and a staccato double bass in "Snowfly Forest." Instrumentation is otherwise very complete, aside from some cases where instruments don't have attack and/or decay when they should.
In some cases, the samples of a song are composed of multiple instrument files (AkaoSampColl). Despite that, it seems that VGMTrans always tries to couple a sequence to a single instrument file. That's why some samples are missing.
most of the music in Vagrant Story uses a common bank "WAVE0005.DAT" plus another particular bank "WAVE0064.DAT" for example. Apparently VGMTrans is not programmed to use several soundbank type files for the same music.
