Roland SC-8850

Inspired by the fusion style of Takayuki Negishi, as heard in Cardcaptor Sakura and Tokyo Mew Mew! A throwback for me in more ways than one, as this piece began taking shape way back in 2021.

Roland SC-88

writing this song was really hard in Ableton because sforzando kept glitching, but Viravax was super nice and made it possible. pretty much just a run of the mill uplifting speedy-pop thing I usually do, with all the Roland rompler patches instead of what I normally do. the eponymous shinji is a reference to shinji hosoe because I like him and his megaman and street fighter tracks had a big influence on me.

Roland SC-8850

2021年に作ったこの曲がリリースできてとても嬉しく思います。2023年の夏まで期日が伸びたのでSoundCanvas単体で安っぽくないサウンドを実現するためにかなりの時間をかけてミックスしました。挑戦してみたこととしてはアシッドベースを使ったヘンテコなゲーム音楽、SysExだけで十分な音圧の実現、手打ちのWAVESTATIONのようなモーションシーケンス、音圧上げた結果音割れしないよう音楽的サイドチェーン（キックとベースが重ならないようにする）などなど。題名はSHYという漫画を当時読んでいて思いつきました。

I'm so happy to see this song released, which I created in December 2021. I spent a significant amount of time refining the sound without any external equipment. What I tried: a weird VGM + acid bass, getting enough loudness level using only SysEx, motion sequencing like WAVESTATION (manually), manual side-chaining (my special SMF boosts most tracks), and so on. The title came to me while reading the manga "SHY".

Roland PMA-5

This tune was sequenced entirely using the Roland PMA5, a 1996 portable device with a built in sound set using a stylus and a touch sensitive LCD screen as the only input. You can record sequences by touching a little keyboard or step-sequence down to 48ppq (pulses per quarter note) including MIDI events like pitch-bend which is how the drum patterns were made.

Ensoniq TS12

今回は思ってもいなかった @MIDI からの繋がりでお声がけ頂き参加出来ることになりとても光栄です。
シンセ1台との条件でしたので、一番よく使用していたensoniq TS12のみで一曲仕上げてみました。
曲も @MIDI で最初に制作した曲のパート2的なイメージで、音も当時各曲で使用していたものをいくつか使用しています。
当時の雰囲気が出るように心掛けたものでクオリティは今一つですが個人的にはお気に入りですw

I am very honored to be invited to participate this time through @MIDI, a connection I never expected. Since I was asked to use only one synthesizer, I finished a song using only the ensoniq TS12, which I used most often. The song is part 2 of the first song I created with @MIDI, and I used some of the sounds I used in each song at the time.
I tried to recreate the atmosphere of the time, and although the quality is not the best, it is my personal favorite.

Microsoft MSGS

This is an MSGS MIDI song built around the idea of repitching samples, both in terms of wildly repitching channels to get new textures out of the patches and in terms of treating chunks/phrases of MIDI data like "samples" - proportionally adjusting their lengths as they are shifted around in pitch to match how they would behave if sampled.

Roland SC-55

This track was made to emulate the sounds of the SC-88Pro, and presents listeners with ethereal and otherworldly tones, motifs and sounds. The title soydrop doesn’t mean anything to me, I just thought it sounded cool.

at the time of writing Ruins of the Forest Temple i was obsessed with Cryptovolans' album Passenger and the Panzer Dragoon soundtracks, i think you can really hear the influence hehe. it also was my first time doing a track with a physical module, and despite having a big pool to choose from (kind staffcirc colleagues let us render our tracks in their modules) i still wanted to go with my old Yamaha. it's the keyboard i grew up with and the one i learnt music with as a kid, so i feel this was the least i could do to repay my debt :')

Roland XV-5080

Roland XV-5080を意識した作曲は初めての試みでした。
さらに英語が不得意なので、コンピレーションのルールも曖昧にしか理解していない状態でこのコンピレーションに挑んでしまいとてもエキサイティングな体験でした。しかしたくさんの人々の協力を得て完成させることができましたありがとうございます。

It was my first time composing music using Roland XV-5080.
And because I didn't speak enough English, it was difficult for me to understand the rules of compilation.
So those were very exciting days.
I was able to complete it with the help of many people. Thank you.
