Samples
Background Music
[edit]MapleStory’s original set of background music (BGM) were composed by Jun-Hee Lee (also known as CODASOUND and LedZeper) in 2003. According to an article Lee posted on Naver in 20211, these were created with the music production software Propellerhead Reason 4.0. This set of BGM tracks use a variety of samples that were both included with Reason and were shared amongst the community via shared sample packs known as Reason Refills.
One of the most distinguished samples that was heavily used in Lee’s work is BurstAway_eLAB. This sample is included in the Reason Factory Sound Bank (under Other Samples / FX-Vox) that was packaged with Reason 4.0. You can hear this sample in other media as well, such as in Britney Spear’s “Oops!... I Did It Again” at around 17 seconds in.
