Battles Vol. 02
Twelve battle cues.
Every one a different tempo.
Twelve fight cues written out as MIDI, up to eighteen parts each: staccato strings, brass, choir and a wall of percussion. No two sketches share a tempo, and four of them leave common time altogether.

Battles Vol. 02
Twelve cues.
No two alike.
Every sketch is one MIDI file with its parts on separate tracks inside it, and every sketch carries its own tempo and meter. Drop one on your timeline and your project follows it; there is no single speed to set for the box.
The writing is dense where it needs to be. Sketch 02 runs eighteen parts across staccato strings, brass, choir and percussion; sketch 11 runs six and leans on a slow, heavy pulse. That range is the point of a box of battle cues.
Four sketches sit outside common time: 05 in 3/4, 10 in 9/8, 12 in 6/8, and the rest in 4/4. The table below lists what each one runs at so you can pick by tempo rather than by opening all twelve.

Leading parts are the three carrying the most notes in that sketch. Each sketch ships an MP3 preview of 17 to 23 seconds so you can hear where it goes before you open it. The previews are reference only and are not licensed for release.
Your DAW. Your libraries.
Any DAW
The files are plain type 1 MIDI with every part on its own named track. Drag one onto your timeline in Cubase, Logic, Studio One, Reaper, Ableton or anything else that reads MIDI. There is no installer, no sampler to buy and no licence to activate.
Any library
The parts carry notes and velocities, not keyswitches, so nothing is tied to one developer. Track names say which articulation each line was written for, so you can map them onto whatever strings, brass, choir and percussion you already own.

Each sketch carries its own tempo and time signature, so your project follows the file rather than the other way round.
