After searching the internet for songs written entirely for and with the famous Roland MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64 modules (except those from games made by Sierra, Lucasarts etc), and not finding any - I thought for myself: is it possible to put something together, that won't sound bad even with the default patches and amount of reverb?

I also chose to use only default patches, but allowed myself to dry the sounds, re-record them separately into MOTUs Digital Performer 7.2 and mix them as one would with every other pop song (only compressors, EQs, delays and reverbs not to modify the sounds away from their original intent).

So this is what you get - polished MT-32 sounds that aren't half bad when processed and EQed into place ;)

Tempo: 160 BPM
Key: Em, modulating to Gm
Instrument/patches used:
Part 2: #069 - Slap Bass 1
Part 3: #049 - Str Sect 1
Part 4: #029 - SynBass 1
Part 5: #048 - Square Wave
Part 6: #045 - DoctorSolo
Part 7: #004 - ElecPiano 1
Part 8: #105 - Marimba 
Part 9: #031 - SynBass 3
Part 10: Drums

Roland CM-32L Song

Roland CM32L Song

Remake, or remix if you will, of my Technics KN-2000 original from 1994-95. Back then it was made with only five limited polyphonic parts: drums, bass and three melody parts (6, 1 and 3x4 notes!) using the composer, plus some effects added in the sequencer at the end. I may upload some of these songs from this era later on.

Here's a premixed video capture of the song back in 2009: https://youtu.be/NFVN5ZJPGfY

Robots R Us (remix)

Robots R Us Remix

This is a song I made back in 2004. I'd just bought the KORG Legacy Collection with mini MS-20 controller and fell in love with the Polysix bass (first patch in the soft synth). Started playing around with that sound, and voilá, the intro to the song was done.

Did an all MT-32 remake in 2013 which you can hear here:https://soundcloud.com/eox-studios/legacy-of-mt-32

Legacy of the 90s

Legacy Of The 90s

A little happy pop tune using only Roland MT-32, CM-32L and CM-32P/CM-64 modules. 

(LA – pun on West Coast LA-fusion and LA Synthesis in case you wondered ;))

Happy synth pop track, with some sprinkles of Mario and other retro sound effects.

Mostly reFX Nexus 2, SIDstation, Yamaha Motif XS-7 and MotifRack, Roland CM-64, JV-2080 and Vengeance samples.

8-Bit Voyager

This is an all Roland MT-32 version of The 8-Bit Keys original theme from The 8-Bit Guy. (https://soundcloud.com/8-bitkeys/pss470-project4-8-bit-keys-theme-music)

Each part recorded dry and mixed with better reverb and effects than just out of the module.

This is a remake of my original "Legacy of the 90s" done entirely on a Roland MT-32 module. I did this sometime back in 2013 and forgotten about it, but dug it out recently. The 8-Bit Guy is using this version in his latest episode about the MT-32 module. ;)

A little track I made in 2010 for a time lapse video that never got used.

Wave Journey

Another track I made back in 2010. Supposed to be used in a video, but never got finished. It's been on the to do-list for a while and may be turned into a full length song sometime. :)

Song for Thelma, one of the little Border Terriers I've been so fortunate to babysit these last three years. Unfortunately, Thelma had to cross the Rainbow Bridge Christmas 2016 due to illness. This song is in her memory and is dedicated to her owners; Mona, Morten, Mads Vetle, Alexander and William. Run free, little one.

Originally meant to be a backing track for Linus Sjöholm's Youtube channel, it grew into something more. ;)

Retro Grooves Vol. 2

Retro Runner

Another little track made for backing purposes. Although the title suggest lots of Portal references, I couldn't find a proper title... and the little piece of GlaDOS harmony got stuck in my head. So there you have it, hope you didn't get to disappointed. I might do a proper remake/remix of one of the Portal songs down the road. ;)

Portal Love

UPDATE: Instrumental version:  http://eox.no/projects/AtariJunkKeyboardRemix_Instrumental.mp3

This is a remix of The 8-Bit Guy's Atari Junk Keyboard tune - or rather an elaboration on the initial theme David made before the whole thing crashed on him. The intro sample is the original sound which I meticulously sampled partials from and re-used throughout the song, albeit with added effects and filters.

Tried to honour parts of David's theme throughout the song, but some parts just grew out of inspiration.

Thanks to David for the inspiration and Ben Heck and his team for making the thing, without it, this song would not have existed. ;)

I've been thinking about making a remix of the end theme from Nintendo's MarioKart 64 for nearly two decades now, and it finally came to fruition. The original is pretty massive, so of course this one is a little heavy too, but hopefully it came out all right.

Used nearly all my gear on this one plus loads of samples from the game - obviously. Figured I had to use the last sample from Mario, even though I've already used it on 8-Bit Voyager.

Enjoy! :)

reFX: Nexus2, Vengeance, QuadraSID, Phalanx, Vanguard
Yamaha: XS-7, Motifrack, TX-81Z
Roland: JV-2080, JD-800, D-110, U-110, CM-32P, D-50, XP-80

I wanted to play with some of my FM synthesizers and plugins from reFX Nexus 2 (FM1 and FM2) and change the tempo down a little from what I usually compose in. Heavily influenced by pop songs from the 80s merged with a little this and that.

Falling In Love With You

Demosong made on request for The 8-Bit Guy's episode on the Casiotone MT-68 mini keyboard. Check out the episode here: (Link coming later)

Casiotone MT-68 plays everything except the extra 80s drums (crash, kick and snare).
