Mark Ortiz is a British composer and sound designer, known for his work with Tiertex. He joined Tiertex in 1995 and composed a great deal of SNES and Game Boy games and is notable for being one of the very few composers who bothered creating additional Super Game Boy soundtracks.
Music Development
SNES
Ortiz created MIDI files that were converted to Tiertex's custom sound engine by Donald Campbell. For Madden NFL 98 and NBA Live 98, he used the SNES Music and Sound Generator by Jason Andersen and John Schappert.
GB/C
Ortiz wrote his music using Cakewalk for his earlier games at Tiertex, which Donald Campbell converted to .txt files to be read by his driver. Ortiz also used Campbell's sound engine for his first few Game Boy Color games, before switching to MusyX, a MIDI-based sound engine developed by Factor 5.
