Doomed Roland Canvas

Well, i just feel that i could post some different stuff about the doom music, and i know what your thinking "oh no! not yet another discussion about how doom music should sound" , it hasnt anything to do exactly whit that tearm, its just i'd liked to experiment whit my Roland Sound Canvas SC-88PRO, probly on of the best late 90's classic GS midi sound ever in my option, and run some doom midi files trough it and also edit the music so its actually compatible whit the GS features.

So this is not "mindblowing" or "pants-shitting jawdropping" awesome stuff, its classic but yet in Higher Quality than most of the computer sampler synths, from 90's.

So check thise 2 ogg files, i had to split into several RAR files, beacuse i'm using my free server, so i'm sorry about that.

    At least the first one sounds quite nice.

    I agree with skyjake - it sounds pretty good actually.

    However, "pants-shitting jawdropping" made me chuckle. :)

    By any day, like other days, i whas sitting and playing whit my SC-88PRO , "no i didnt take it out to the kindergarten, and played hide and seek",.. however, i did some searching on the internett for some more tech test for the SC-88pro, and by some suprice, i whas wondering if it whas obsessed, oh my, by actually doing a super-secret multidimension magic tricky twist, you can actually turn on hardware effects that is build-into it.
    Woaw, kinda impressive feature, its almost makes me forgot that i whas listening to a 15kb midi file, when it actually sounded like a "almost" real record, and yeah that midi whas a Tech Demo midi file from Roand Corp itself.

    So hey, way not use some of that feature on the doom midis, .. but soon i realise that whas a challange from hell.
    It whas no info on the internett, everthing that looks liked there whas something, it whas something completely different.
    It whas so super-mega secret impossible to figure it out that even Superman couldnt give me an asnwer if he asked the company .. i guess.
    But guess what, in some bizzare way, i fugured it out.
    So here is some more midis, and some whit Hardware fx used, like Hangar and Military.

    Also notice, thise doom song isnt the same advance as thise Demo midis i whas talking about, i havent figured it yet how to do that, and i dont see the point of emulate realisme that presice, beacuse then its betther to listen to other doom tracks.

    Not trying to shoot you down or anything, but i'm pretty sure there is a software emulator/VSTi for the SC-88 (and many many more MIDI synths/keyboards of course) that can be either ASIO's/ReWired or otherwise directly loaded into Cakewalk Sonar (which I happen to own and use). Or better yet, OpenMPT - the MIDI's could be remastered to an MO3 or IT or other tracker format, which FMOD supports (may be implemented in a future release), to provide an "enhanced soundtrack" that could even be included as a (official?) jDMP (i'm sure you can guess what that stands for).

    It'd have a couple of advantages; one being that they are very VERY small (easily compressable) as they are not entire waveforms; two being that it remains open source as these tracker files can be edited quite easily with other Open Source/Freeware tools; and last but definately not least it would allow for advanced mod/TC capaibility in regards to sound, music and ambience, such as sector-by-sector movement blending (or locational/event triggered playback and realtime mixing if you prefer) similar to that of what Blood II : The Chosen does. If you havn't played it before, the best way I can describe it is that the music dynamically changes as your actions and movement through the levels progress, full-on channel isolation/swapping and block mixing to do things like (1) Walking down a dark coridor and a harmonized, "eerie" synth pad appreggiates in the background (and actually in-BPM with the music, not just a dodgy over-the-top sound) or (2) An enemy spots you and the song's drums change to some hardkore industrial bass kicks and clang snares and the BPM speeds up slightly.... yeah, you get the idea.

    :yay:

    Sorry, I used to work in Audio Engineering/Production (Radio Station).

    Ahem... Deus Ex 1 also had a similar music system, although it's not as impressive as Blood 2 (there tends to be many hard-cuts). It also uses IT Tracker Formats :)

    Oh wait... the MID files from Doom are part of the original game, and the original game isn't freeware, so distributing these "remakes" based off the original is technically an IP violation. Damn. Nevermind. LOL.

    Those are actually some pretty nice ideas, man

    Time and place though :P I've been thinking about doing my own "remastering" of the Doom soundtracks and I enjoy using these tracker formats for music, so maybe one day.

    JonusC: I know about modular music, and track sequence as IT,XM,MOD
    And frankly i'v done alot of crazy stuff, but i feel it doesnt work out too well, beacuse its so much fiddling whit it.
    And that Soundcanvas emulator, that one is poor horseshit, and it smels ass, i didnt choice Soundcanvas SC-88PRO for fun, but more like a show-off what it can do.
    There are many alternative such as more expensive synths, but then , what is the point of using modern sinth, when a VSTi can do a betther job or likewise, on other word, it will be a waste of time.
    The Sc-88PRO is not the best ever , and its not a wannah-be-good synth, its pretty uniqe, its Roland Canvas sound, its all i can say.
    And since i feel the SC-88PRO stands so different out, i feel it deserve to been known.

    Well the atmospheric ones sound good, not so much the action-ey ones, and all of them at least feel like the originals. Nice work.

    OpenMPT and Psycle are very capable (the first being open source, second is commercial)

    Well as a sound engineer i own a bit of software; if i dont have raw 32-bit 96khz samples of them (psycle has gret synth emu) then i'd use Reason in slave mode, rewired to OpenMPT. But yeah its ok.

    P.S. This template is not good for mobiles... This webkit-driven E63 cant draw it too well =\
