Discovered you though 8-bit guy, but have loved every track so far, keep it up! - Ryan

love the little mario sound effects in there :)

Is it alright is I use this song for the outro of my videos?

May I use some of your music as background music in my videos? You know, like the 8-Bit Guy?

Happy electro/swedish house with some synth pop/gaming influences. Initially composed for a video I've edited: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUt2tlLeebg

Using mainly reFX' Nexus2 (16 tracks), Vengeance packs (10 audios tracks) and some Yamaha XS7 (10 MIDI tracks) sounds.

The previous version had audio glitches and some minor mixing/playing issues. Sorry that I had to delete the last file, but I wish SoundCloud could replace existing songs with new version uploads. This one has a better sonic quality as it is uploaded from the original 24 bit WAV compared to the MP3 version. ;)

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.

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. ;)

8-Bit Keys Atari Junk Keyboard Remix

Atari Junk Keyboard Remix (8-Bit Keys & Ben Heck Show)

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

Finished one of the old tracks from the archives. Little hybrid EDM-synthwave thing.

Parallax Nova

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.
