Here is my collection of music only using the old Roland MT-32/CM-32L/CM-32P (and similar) modules. It's basically just LA-synthesis (with some sprinkles of the PCM samplings from the P module or U-110 if you will). 

All songs, except the five demo songs from the MT-32/MT-100, are recorded dry part for part, and then mixed properly in my DAW and polished/mastered somewhat so that it's a bit mor punchy and up to date. The results are pretty much clear that the MT-32 still can be used today and sound good enough. ;)

8-Bit Keys Theme Remix

8-Bit Keys Remix

8-Bit Keys Theme - Remix

This was made 100% on my Casio MT-500.  It's very short, but it was made as a demonstration of the keyboard's abilities on my youtube review about the superdrums keyboards.  I did add reverb to the drum track during post, other than that, everything else is exactly how it sounds coming out of the keyboard.

A video of the old version of the song is available here:

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

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.

8-Bit Keys Theme  MT-32 Version

The 8-Bit Keys intro, played on a Roland MT-32. Made for a special episode of 8-Bit Keys where David reviews the MT-32 module.

8-Bit Keys Intro MT-32 Version

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. ;)

Legacy of MT-32

This is a track I made entirely from my Yamaha PSS-125.  It's a very primitive toy synthesizer from 1989.  But it's fun to play with.  This song was inspired by Ultima, although the song is created entirely by me.

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

Morning Dew

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)

Full music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pTpDstAusA

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

Casiotone MT-68 Demo

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv4ZN9Cfxho

This is the initial song I composed on request for The 8-Bit Guy to demonstrate the Casio Casiotone MT-68 keyboard. However, it was using too many other sounds and samples so it didn't feel in tune with the rest of the demo songs for the channel. So this is to showcase a little more how the keyboard could be used in conjunction with other synths.

In addition to layering the MT-68 on both bass, chords and playing the lead melody, these were used too:

Bass: KORG Polysix, Nexus2 FM Expansion
Chords: Nexus2 various expansions
Drums: Vengeance 80s Drumkit and loops

A little happy synth song I've been working on the last week. Turned out pretty nice.

You Make Me Smile

Deadmau5 - The Veldt (feat. Chris James) [Original Mix]

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
