Simple Games (Soundtrack, 66bpm) SynthMania 2024-08-31 | Evolving cinematic ditty with strings and brass. This is just a stub. A real, completed theme will of course have a proper structure with different parts for introduction, verses, chorus, break, ending etc. This is basically just the main chorus / main theme of a potential structure.

OMI Sonic Images - a classic sample CD-ROM from 1992 SynthMania 2024-08-18 | Fantastic sounding sample CD-ROM of the early 1990s, this one was formatted for Roland S-700 series samplers, using their great filters capabilities. OMI Universe Of Sounds had done classic Emulator II sounds, and for other samplers. The quality of the samples was outstanding, and the patches were tastefully programmed as well. Going by ear I believe several samples made it on the ROM of Roland synths/expansions too. Note these demos are completely dry / as they are from the stereo outputs of a Roland S-760 sampler - no effects added, the perceived reverb heard in some of the samples was recorded by OMI within the samples themselves. There are too many volumes of Performances / Patches / Partials to show them all in one video, so this is a selection of some of the ones I like the most.00:00 OPENING TITLES / Pluck Mix00:48 BellStrings01:17 Breath Choir01:44 Stackedvoice02:05 Slow Lush02:54 Chime Mix03:23 SlOrchChoir04:07 Not Fast05:02 SoftSynthOrc05:49 BellChoir06:21 Swell String07:20 Chinese Orch07:58 SlowSkyChoir09:02 Slow Space10:03 Twelve Moogs10:37 FuzztonesStk11:18 SlowOrchid12:14 Mild Rough12:45 Big Brass13:14 Brass Choir13:48 Rich&Mellow15:22 JapFluteOrch16:00 SoftPianoStr16:52 Long Rain17:59 Mystery Pad18:47 Future Choir19:41 BambooSpread20:18 SlowPad21:09 Brass Tutti21:38 DistortGuitr22:12 Glockenflute22:45 Legato23:09 Slobie24:10 FenderViolin25:07 Microwave25:51 48StrngGuitr26:25 SlOctPnoStr26:57 BrightGtrStr27:25 Ambience28:29 HarpSynth29:01 Spacelanding29:32 Bosendorfer30:12 FX Menu30:33 FX Menu 230:55 Variations 331:17 FX Menu 431:44 Variations 532:06 Variations 632:27 Instrums 733:10 Gated FX 833:33 Pno Shlatter34:08 Instrums 1034:35 Variation 1135:08 Instrums 1235:34 StrangeChord35:58 Variation 1436:23 FX Menu 1536:43 Extraterrest37:06 Chinatown37:26 Split Person37:48 Instrums 1938:07 FX Menu 2038:45 Variation 2139:02 ENDING TITLES
