Edirol Hyper Canvas

I wanted to write a piece for the EDIROL PC-80, the clunky MIDI keyboard with speakers that occupied the better part of my childhood.  But it's locked away in storage at my parents' house, or maybe we donated it to charity, and the bundled software doesn't even run on anything newer than Windows XP.  I'm pretty sure that Hyper Canvas uses the same soundset, but if you're able to play back the MIDI file on a PC-80 and pour out a drink at the same time, do that and be sure to let me know about it--it would make my day!

Alesis Quadrasynth

I had a great time writing this track as I've never used an Alesis Quadrasynth before. This track was inspired by the countless amazing demo tracks written for arranger workstations and home keyboards.

Roland XV-5080

5080AD - Somewhere out in the badlands a group of nomad travellers traverse the wastes. Scaling daunting cliffs and rocky crevasses. Harvesting succulents for sustenance. The deep purple sky hanging over them like a hood, they move unseen from boulder to boulder searching for pieces of history. There, under a dry rock, a usb stick with a .midi file and a .txt document reading, “I made this on an XV5080. The idea came from playing around with pitch bending the drums, I noticed it sounded a little like a processed breakbeat sample in a drum and bass track and the rest of the song just sort of evolved from that idea :)”.

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.
