I HAVE TO MAKE THIS CLEAR: THIS METHOD IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT AND REQUIRED A LOT OF SAMPLING FROM THEIR ORIGINAL SYNTHS/SAMPLERS, CAREFUL TRANSCRIPTION FROM THE ORIGINAL PIECE.

WITH LIMITED RAM THAT PS1 CAN PROVIDE THIS IS ACTUALLY INSANE THAT THEY MANAGED TO PULL THIS OFF.

So the audio programmers did a really risky move to replicate the BGM into a sequenced format using Sony's Psy-Q Audio Capabilities and load them inside RAM.

While the streamed audio will be played directly from the CD as XA Audio Stream.

Yes, I'm fully aware of the superior XA version of the audio. But the sequenced audio is actually used for the cutscenes, due to the limitation of the XA format, one channel has to be sacrificed for VOX channel.

The sequenced version of Gate's Theme has a programming oversight with the guitar and synth tracks. I fixed them manually with this method. CAPCOM really rushed this game to hell.

The audio programmers were probably didn't have the time to double check the MIDI programming.
