Music-track disambiguation

At a glance

What it is

An 81-row cross-reference, one row per debug sound-test slot, compiled by Stann0x.

Why it exists

Retail has no track-name table - a scene script starts music by number. This is the label layer for those numbers, the way the curated game-data tables label items and enemies.

Naming spaces

Debug sound-test ID + title · in-game context · official OST title · proposed relocalization.

Disc join

Global BGM id 2000 + i plays sound-test track i.

Bank layout

Piecewise: extraction entry 988 + i for tracks 0..=67, 990 + i for 68..=80, two-entry gap at 1056/1057.

Resolver

legaia_engine_core::music_labels - the engine HUD and viewers name tracks through it.

Confidence

Inferred; OST columns Confirmed against the published listing.

Four names for one track

1. Debug sound-test ID - the internal asset/track identifier the game's debug sound test exposes (M01, M14A, M26B1, plus a few non-M labels like ALNDRA, JBGM, KANASIMI). This is the handle closest to the on-disc track order.
2. Debug sound-test title - the short Japanese working title shown beside that ID in the debug menu (e.g. "field with mist"). These describe the scene the track was written for, not its mood.
3. In-game context - where the track is actually heard during play (often broader or different from the debug title - a track written for one scene gets reused elsewhere).
4. Official OST title - the title the published soundtrack album gives the track, where one exists (many debug entries have no OST counterpart).

BGM lookup in retail is PROT-relative - there is no literal track-name table in the executable (see audio and SEQ) - so a map between the debug IDs and where each cue plays is the ground-truth labelling for the SEQ/VAB records under reverse engineering.

Provenance + confidence

Compiled by Henrique Stanke Scandelari (Stann0x) and contributed to this project as a reference. The romaji, English glosses, and proposed relocalization titles are his analysis; the debug-mode IDs/titles and OST titles are factual short labels transcribed from the game's own debug sound test and the published soundtrack listing.

Treated here exactly like the other curated reference tables: only the factual labels are committed - track IDs, the short scene-name titles, and where each cue plays. No Sony-owned bytes (sequence data, sample data, executable) are reproduced; the audio itself is decoded at runtime from the user's own disc.

Confidence is Inferred unless a track is matched to its OST entry, in which case the OST columns are Confirmed against the published listing. The last three rows (highlighted in the source as uncertain) are flagged inline.

The disc-side join: the music_01 bank in sound-test order

When a scene script starts music it uses a number, not a name. A script BGM id ≥ 2000 resolves through the global pool, and the pool order is the debug sound-test order: global id 2000 + i plays sound-test track i. Reading every scene's own scripts and joining each started id against this table lands the right label across the board (evidence in how we know):

The bank is piecewise, not a flat base

The physical music_01 bank is not a single linear PROT run. Sound-test index maps onto two contiguous extraction ranges with a two-entry gap between them:

The low range starts at extraction 988: the first two tracks (M01/M02) live in the entries whose extraction filename reads monster_test, because CDNAME #define numbers are raw TOC indices and the named content sits two entries earlier (the +2 filename skew).

Scenes carry no local SEQ data: apart from a dev bank and one scene-local copy of M01, every music sequence on the disc lives in this bank plus the boot/battle banks, so the scene-local id space (< 2000) is the rare exception. The engine's resolver legaia_engine_core::music_labels owns the piecewise map; the play-window HUD names the playing track and the asset-viewer seq command names a bank slot's file through it.

Notable entries

• Borrowed placeholder cues. ALNDRA (#72) is Alundra's Zazzan battle theme and JBGM (#73) is the Wild Arms battle theme - both other Contrail/Sony titles, present on the Legaia disc as dev placeholders.
• Dev test files. #74 (no debug ID at all; romaji DAMĪ, "Dummy"), MPIANO (#78, romaji PIANO), #79 (ID 獸衣, romaji LEVELUP) and M26A (#80, romaji A) are test/placeholder entries, not shipping music. The last three carry an ID distinct from their romaji - quote the ID column when joining against the table below.
• Reused themes under different IDs. Several debug IDs share a title (中ボス / "medium boss" appears for M27, M108 and M33; ディスコ / "disco" for M112 and M117; ディスコ決勝 / "disco finals" for M116 and M120) - the same musical idea staged for different scenes.

Track table

# is the debug sound-test order. - marks a column the source leaves blank. “OST gloss” is the English reading of the OST title; “Relocalization” is Stann0x's proposed English title.
