Thanks to everyone for listening! It's worth noting that I was in a bit of a rush to get this out, so there's a few minor inconsistencies in this upload. The tracks "Muddin Blood," "Heavy Dew," and "Right Time Left" sound slightly different than the authors intended, mostly in EQ differences. Right Time Left has a different synth bass however due to a weird error in playback, so please check Robyn's SoundCloud for her intended version. soundcloud.com/robynmod2/right-time-left

Hey this looks fun. Any follow up. I have used a QY70 for many years which is XG...though Im not sure if its the same 'engine' as MU1000. Im sure you do however ;)

[@pixelflow]

Still waiting on the future where we all have XG synths in our phones and 1000s of midi albums taking up no space.

[@vtcabbit]

no but why is this literally what i would want too?? you could fit SO much material if midi was used

[@jimbotron70]

Bro MIDI synths are in phones like since 20 years 💀

[@MarylandResident]

Great Midi, Great speakers, Great Keyboards, and Great Motorcycles. God I love Yamaha.

[@trevor_mounts_music]

idk of any other company that makes motorcyles AND saxophones 😂

[@njsynthesis]

Heavy Dew is amazing. It sounds much like something out Ridge Racer Type 4.

[@ultaedits5751]

Yeah, the vibe is there, just isn't as upbeat. However, it's probably a highlight in this album!

[@RodBeauvex]

Jace is channeling some early Kool and the Gang.

[@herrgerolf]

This and Power SC-55 are part of my workout playlist. I hope to see more Power albums such as Power SC-88 in the future.

[@tlazohtlalia]

Or Power! MT-32

[@4toz2frdm]

I wish these were available as single tracks so I could add some of them to my driving playlist, these songs are incredible. Really liked your track at the end btw. I think I will have to buy a VL card and an SG card, They're starting to get more expensive but they just sound so cool!

[@revokdaryl1]

This is excellent. Tongueslap is especially good. Thank you very much for this!

[@monx]

Thanks so much for linking out to the original MIDI files! Now if I only had an XG synthesizer...

[@tharii314]

Soul of the ship below... Genius! I love it! Thank you for sharing this Noelle, and Thank you once again HaruMKT! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ultaedits5751]

The "Dream Instalation" track reminds me a lot of a game named EDGE, with a soundtrack that gives the whole atmosphere, sometimes fun, sometimes a bit more tense, and the other-worldly feel, case of that one, since the stages are monochromatic and the Cube (player) and the collectables are the only stuff that keep changing their color.

[@aquamidideluxe5079]

Thank you for providing MIDI downloads!

[@mikosoft]

I once did a 2 hour karaoke show with SW50XG for ~150 people. It was a blast and the synth sounded really good (with good midi files of course).

[@offspringfan89]

These tracks are so catchy! Seriously, the authors did an awesome job with this album. I like this one slightly better than Power! SC-55, though both are excellent. While I always loved the sound of Roland SC-55, I like Yamaha MU-series samples better nowadays. I think they sound brighter and more natural than SoundCanvas synths, which sometimes have exaggerated reverb and chorus effects.

[@tharii314]

By the way, Longing is such a clever arrangement! I love that unpredictability. Great job! 😘❤️

[@Sheerspeechcraft]

This needs way more views dude

[@DCaseyTucker]

19:38 the lick

[@garystumpbeats8831]

The chorus in tongue slap is so motivational. Everytime I hear it I imagine melting an army of imps in the game doom.... not sure why but hey that shits fire!

[@tharii314]

Muddin' blood... Ahh! NEAT!!

[@TrueMarble64]

I Like "Dream Installation" : )

[@EpicureMammon]

Super cool! I have an okay collection of XG hardware and have been looking for a collection just like this!

[@calumward1192]

Can't wait to see a Power! KORG NS5R or Power! Casio Gz50m

[@chrisgrow]

love the drums on the first track

[@MidoriMizuno]

Really lovely album, i think i personally prefer this one over Power! SC-55. Jace's and Melon's tracks are probably my favourites, but honestly it's very hard to pick

[@AcroGrade]

Awesome as always man!

[@trevor_mounts_music]

I can't decide if I like the Yamaha MU or Roland Sound Canvas better....guess I have to buy both 😂

[@michaelbuehler3897]

Good Soundtrack.

[@adrig1830]

The Last Track Closed Falconsoft Midi Player But I Have A SoundFont Chain On VirtualMIDISynth And I Have The Pheonix XG Soundfont

[@davshan8482]

Nice album. It seems that the mu90 sounds smoother than the later models

[@kot32_fake]

Damn bruh this is why I should probably buy a Yamaha sound module in the far future

[@alexanderkhodos]

Mumu Fields such a Touhou 6 vibe

[@RamageBotOfficialChannel]

tongueslap at some points kinda sounds like something t square would do, i do kinda hear a bit of some inspiration on "explorer" right there in this song too

[@DrSoda.]

What genre of music is this? It's to my liking.

[@jimbotron70]

"music for showing off Japanese sound modules"

[@JackTheGamer3]

Who else came here from Amphobius posting this on SoundCloud? 19:20

[@tharii314]

19:38 LICK!

[@theanimusicnerd7925]

For whatever reason, right time left reminds me of bob the builder (yes i like the stop motion series)
