Yez.. the subject really interest u to read the message... well, I'm looking for mp3 versions of the very nice MIDI music of Illusion City & the Xak 3 Intro!!

It's so long ago that I heard this music on the Turbo-R in combination with a MT-32 Roland thingy...

And the problem is: I don't have a Turbo-R and not even speaking about a MT-32!

Do they exist??

I have an mp3 of the Illusion City intro, I can't remember where I got it, the date stamp says July 2005.
I also have something that resembles a Xak 1 OST.

If you want, I can put them up for download.

In fact it is a OST of Illusion City & the Xak 3 intro but then de MT-32 Midi version instead of FM-Pac & PSG!!

If it's possible it would be very nice to have your MP3 of the IC intro.. I hope it is the original MIDI intro!!

I haven't a clue, you tell me:

Don't bother about the MT32 version FM-PAC & PSG outrule the MT32 by miles.. I wouldn't want to trade them!

Thx for the fast reply Gilneas2!! I'm still in doubt if this is the Midi intro you linked here.. I thought it sounded like a full orchestrated thingy... well.. it is a long time ago...

Got a MT-32 but no Turbo-R
Is there an emu out there that can emulate the Turbo-R midi output correctly ?
If so, i can do some recording for you... But it's like wolf_ said, FM-PAC & PSG is better.

Already tried BlueMSX some time ago but the second part of the intro of Xak III sounds completely wrong.

Well, I have a Turbo R and a MT32. The intromusic of Xak Gazzel sucks on MT32 but the Illusion City music is great. If I can make the time I can make mp3's from the music.

"Thx for the fast reply Gilneas2!! I'm still in doubt if this is the Midi intro you linked here.. I thought it sounded like a full orchestrated thingy... well.. it is a long time ago..."

There is a Xak 1 and 2 soundtrack. The Xak 2 soundtrack begins with some fully orchestrated versions of the Xak 2 introdemo. Maybe that's what you mean?

Please try openMSX as well then, it supports it. You can easily select the MIDI port in Catapult (on Windows).

Thx Manual... i'll check it out.

I got a couple of MID files of Illusion City ripped from the game... They can be played using the music module as midi-interface...
If you have that thing, you could do some mp3 stuff for Opa... I could do it, but my synth is by far an mt32

I have a Roland CM-64 connected to mine turbo-R and have a MT-32 too, but the CM-64 sounds much better.

Thx Meits!!

@Abi: In this topic I talk about a MT-32 but it could be another Roland connected to a Turbo-R. It is a long time ago and the only thing I still know: it sounded great...

@Yum: I am familiar with the orchestrated versions of Xak (and Ys and so on) but I was just searching for a MP3 recording of the turbo-r and a roland playing Xak 3 intro & Illusion music.

Check out http://www.alsoftware.com.br/adrianpage/illusioncity/index.php?page=musics&lang=en&music=16. There you can find the recordings I made for Adriano using the game, a Turbo R and a CM-64.

I also recorded the Gazzel songs, but one of them has some clicks it seems... Awell, you can find them at http://www.jorito.net/gazzel/ for now.
