Pixel Adventures Vol. 01
Twelve cues in three.
Small band, light touch.
Twelve game cues written out as MIDI, all of them in 3/4 and none of them crowded: six to nine parts built on soft piano, bells, small strings and a solo horn or oboe on top. Sixteen bars each, from 130 to 165 BPM.

Pixel Adventures Vol. 01
Twelve cues.
All of them in three.
Every sketch is written in 3/4 and runs sixteen bars, which makes this the lightest box in the category: a waltz lilt rather than a march, and six to nine parts rather than eighteen.
Soft piano and high bells carry almost every sketch, with legato violins, viola and cello around them and a solo horn, oboe, trumpet or piccolo on top. Pizzicato bass and cello take over the pulse where the piano steps back, and a children’s choir appears on one.
Tempos run 130 to 165 BPM. Each sketch is one MIDI file with its parts on separate tracks and its own tempo written in, so your project follows the file.

Leading parts are the three carrying the most notes in that sketch. Sketch 07 carries two extra phrases, violin and piccolo, parked well past the end of the music; delete or reuse them as you like. Each sketch ships an MP3 preview of 19 to 25 seconds; 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. These sketches are written small, so they sit just as well on a chamber library, a retro synth set or a stock orchestra as on a full scoring template.

Ready for commercial projects.

Each sketch carries its own tempo and a 3/4 time signature, so your project follows the file rather than the other way round.
