Yeah, I saw this in my feed. I wrote about the E-line on the VOGONS forums a while back, essentially the E-10 is a MT-32, E-20 is a second gen one, and the E-30 is a CM-32L. Because the synths use different patch lists they may not be compatible for gaming. The one I want someday is a Pro-E, a mini ...

Thanks for sharing the link! A cursory listen shows it's quite interesting! Bonus points for creative use of the drum sounds.

Still haven't played the game, but thanks for this! I'll have to ask Chance about it sometime. I presume the in-game version matches the CD and not the Spotify one?

Thanks for posting Marten, I had heard about it but not seen this!

It looks.. Odd? I don't get much of a Sierra vibe from that trailer. Sort of Laura Bow undertones but mostly Phantasmagoria ones.. I guess those are Sierra titles, though! Hopefully it will be good.

Hey folks, This is probably not of interest to most, but to those it is - I hope this is exciting for you! For some background - I consider Tom Lewandowski's KQ6 MIDI edits and soundtrack CD to be amongst the best work he (and everyone else since) ever made, extremely intelligently blending the MT-3...

Very cool, farvardin! Thanks for sharing. I used to be big into movie scores and this is a good excuse to get back in. I would imagine the D-50 was the most commonly used, however the multitimbrality of the D-110/MT-32 means they would have been used too. The Bob Siebenberg album "Heads Up - Th...

According to the man who performed the soundtrack live, Eric Serra used a Yamaha TX816/DX7 ("You should know that 80 to 90% of the Big Blue synth sounds come from the Yamaha DX7 with a lot of layering.") Plus: Emulator 2, the Akai S 950, the Kurzweil 1000 PX and the Roland MT-32. https://e...

Hey folks, For those who don't know, Ken Allen was the original composer of SQ5, before Ken W got wind of this and told Dynamix they needed to redo it with inhouse people (Ken Allen had left Sierra in 1991). Ken has recreated the 'lost' opening themes that were to be used in the game, you can view i...

Hey folks,

This is a "Work In Progress" post reminding me to update you all. But, I wrote to Tom, as I do periodically. This time, unlike most - I heard back! He's doing well. I'll share if he permits and update what I can otherwise.

Regards,
