Rise of the Triad (1994) MIDI soundtrack on Roland pro synthesizer

[@panoramacircle3281]

ROTT (Rise of the Triad, DOS, 1994) MIDI soundtrack, music, OST on pro Roland JV-1010, alternative to the SC-55 and SC-88 Pro. Music by Lee Jackson & Bobby Prince. Rebalanced MIDI to fit JV-1010 sound profile better.

I had a Kawai GMega back in 1995 and this is what I found that sounds closest to what I was used to. Loved Excalibur and I choose the Stairs.

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

Excellent MIDI synthesizer reproduction! 👍 I wish I had a CD playing these on tracks for my CD player car stereo. Yes! I have one of those still in my truck playing full artists music non-Midi. ROTT has a jazzy neat sound for video gaming that would ... Sorry officer I don't know what made me do that maneuver on the road! 😂🤣

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

​@@francoisleveille409... Too limited ... #23 Shards and #28 Work Day also? Heck I want the entire CD to play in my CD player in track music selections. 👍

[@francoisleveille409]

@@lawrencejelsma8118 There must be some tools out there to convert it all to .wav or .mp3 files with high bitrates.

[@FFFFindoor]

What irritates me about this soundtrack is that NO ONE HAS DONE IT LIVE. Its so damn good. I can't believe it hasn't people try to play some of the popular tracks live.

[@FFFFindoor]

I grew up on this game and bought an SC-55 just to listen to the midis. I seriously love this games OST.

[@panoramacircle3281]

Probably the best GM soundtrack out there

[@SammyRenard]

@@panoramacircle3281 DN3D and Warcraft 2 gets close but yeah, ROTT's got the better, more varied midi soundtrack

Lee Jackson's magic on the Roland Soundcanvas still flabbergasts me. I've never heard MIDI music as good as his. A shame he doesn't compose anymore.

[@BSoDproducciones]

he just released a new album leejackson1.bandcamp.com/album/derivations

[@TheHouseOfWaffles]

Here's his official KZbin channel: kzbin.infofeatured

[@CaptainResident]

He does, he does commissions and occasionally contributes to Doom community projects.

[@jess648]

@@CaptainResident he also releases music he’s made on his own volition

[@ASLB247]

He even made a remix of You Suck called “You Really Suck” for Alien Vendetta.

[@Miki-hk6vy]

The remaster looks very promising,can't wait to play for the first time. Only listened to this OST for the last 3 years

[@rossmct123]

Goin' Down the Fast Way

[@NoahtheEpicGuy]

One complaint I have about almost every video like this is nobody ever loops the tracks twice or thrice. It's always a one-shot through the MIDI and then onto the next, but you definitely miss out on how the MIDI loops. In other news, MANNNN KZbin really messed up the chapters for seemingly no reason. More at 11.

[@milquetoastmotorcyclist9800]

I went straight to Goin' Down the Fast Way and my mind was immediately blown. One of those "that's how I remember it sounding but it couldn't possibly have been so" moments.

[@TheHouseOfWaffles]

Back in the '90s I had an AWE-32 soundcard which sounded really good, and I loved Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince's music so much that I recorded the soundtracks from Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem 3D to CD. I also made a copy of Shadow Warrior's soundtrack with the CD audio and the MIDI tracks. I never got around to recording Doom, but I did buy the official Doom Music CD.

[@michaeldonoghue9015]

That is the best goddamn rendition of Shards I have ever heard...

[@ramiyohay7286]

This game was goofy and over the top but man the OST was awesome!

[@TheFellerHasAChannelGodDamnIt]

Civvie 11's songs are so good, they made a game about it!

[@ziscer7570]

good joke

[@DySun]

just like the Yamaha DB50XG, the Roland JV-1010 synthesizer is acoustically astonishing!

[@NightlifeSux]

7:21 I'll never forget first hearing this in Scythe for Doom II, MAP30: Fire & Ice.

[@SigmaRho2922]

This theme was also played when a team lost a playoff series.

Also map 25 of alien vendetta

[@SammyRenard]

wow, Gazz sounds so... subtly different on this thing, I love it!

[@copilots3159]

It's so clear!!!

[@ShowRyuKen]

Thanks for posting this, it's really enlightening to see how these tracks actually work on Midi. Fascinating stuff!

de-syncing and a few lags aside, fantastic upload

[@Geardos1]

this and old anime music is peak

[@rtspacer_hd]

This is a great demo of the strings ensemble patch I was curious about in your earlier video. Definitely the patch I’ve been looking for, and for years! I wonder if it’s on the JV-2080 too🤔 I recognize a lot of other sounds too, this is an easy like👍🏽 listened all the way through

[@panoramacircle3281]

Rott soundtrack is a great demo for general Midi, so many instruments are being used.

[@kawamikazecheant]

Nice 🔥

[@TheSurrealBoye]

49:16 Ah yes, my jam.

[@skyrain4021]

This video made me buy a used JV-1010 ! It sounds perfect for Doom and Rise of the Triad ^~^

[@dangermouse1282]

This might be the best sounding version I have ever heard. Is there a place to download this soundtrack using this version of the Roland?

[@666gibanica]

This is amazing, thanks!

[@ArctoRockturne]

I do love rott and doom that's for sure.

[@iminfinite8282]

How did you make it sound so crisp and clear? Ive heard other recordings of the soundtrack from roland synths but this just sounds soo GOOOD!

[@panoramacircle3281]

Roland JV was the King of the 90s sound, much more hi-fi than soundcards or Roland SC line.

[@SigmaRho2922]

7:21 followed by 33:59 is played when a team loses a playoff series.

[@DragonsLoverQc]

At 26:34, there's a little lag occurring during "Run Like Smeg" which causes a small de-sync

[@panoramacircle3281]

Just noticed that too, strange...

[@J0rdan912]

27:38 Havana Smooth reminds me Waiting for Romero to Play. Both by Bobby Prince, isn't it?

[@panoramacircle3281]

Havana was made by Lee Jackson. I remember an interview where he said that he was often inspired by old and public domain music for his creations.

[@mikeydel]

This is awesome! Not sure if you take requests/suggestions, but you should check out the OST for TD2192. It's got some great tunes for this era.

[@panoramacircle3281]

I have looked into TD2192 bu it doesn't seem to have a MIDI soundtrack so this would be much more difficult to do

[@gabrielalamberti5860]

I remember playing this game

[@panoramacircle3281]

A classic, most people had the shareware

[@O_Alentejano]

the havana smooth in the intro kinda scared me

[@Kris451]

Any chance you could make flak files of this soundtrack? Like actually record the tacks into flak for the purest form of the audio. I can't find a good rip of this soundtrack and this one has the best sound due to the jv-1010. If you could do that, it would be amazing.

[@panoramacircle3281]

Hello, there should be no difference between flac, ogg (what I am saving in Audacity) or mp3 because the source is a 90s rompler with 4MB of compressed samples. Uploading these songs somewhere else is a problem because of copyright, KZbin if allowing that in cooperation with game studios. You have to download the video using any internet download site and extract the audio (with VLC for example) and split it into the songs using Audacity.

[@terrapinflyer273]

Have you tried the ost files from the sc-55 sc-88 page? I don't know the website offhand, but you can find it by searching 'sc-55 music pack' or through the Duke Nukem HRP page. The sc-55 ost is the only one that sounds "correct" to me. Though this one does sound pretty filled out in terms of sound quality. Very nice samples. Deep bass, crisp treble.

[@Mr.madmight266]

Can you make a video playing the soundtrack but with Gravis UltraSound with the Pro Patches Lite 161?

[@panoramacircle3281]

If someone gives me a Gravis UltraSound....

[@RhenishHelm]

54:31 - there's not enough fretless bass solos in modern games

[@xtrememusicpk]

I heard about JV Roland line from the 90's where the synths were used 4 many reasons in whole musical industry, but not in module befor'!! It is easy as it seems, just plug n play any midi from MIDI out (external source)?? I was thinking about 2 buy from any user selling out this sound generator 2 run many midi files!! Sorry asking, but from the game, such as ROTT the used patches from musician Lee will run exactly as we hear from this demonstration???

[@panoramacircle3281]

I had to modify the MIDI files a bit because the loudness for the individual instrument was not well adjusted for the Roland GM. Some instruments were too loud, others too silent. The patches are just GM patches with no editing. You would have to get the adjusted MIDI files back into the game to get exactly the same sound.

[@TheInfiniteAmo]

Goin' Down the Fast Way on this system is better than sex

[@ajh1021]

is there a midi download for the songs

[@dgSolidarity]

47:14 Glass much?

[@fake12396]

You could say the glass broke into shards...

[@Kasperl88]

I don't suppose this is available for download?

[@panoramacircle3281]

Well every video on yt can be downloaded using free sites. You can use VLC to convert it into audio only and Audacity to cut the individual songs.

[@seppokalevi7]

great stuff but the video seems to get out of sync at points

[@PTsR]

MIDI please!
